April 8, 2022
The combined 2022 Cosolargy Convocation and Seminar will be held in Reno from September 7th through September 12th. This year is a very special year, as it marks the 60th anniversary of the birth of the Sun of Righteousness and the announcement of God’s Second Advent. It is also a cosmically important 20-year cycle – the 3rd since 1962. The planned schedule includes:
Residence Training: Color & Sacred Imagery
Part 1 is six hours of oral instruction on the psycho-physical and spiritual bodies; color polarities; demonstrations on the use of gemstones, the sacred thread, and mirrors; and the use of color in ancient medical practices. Part 2 is an expansion of Part 1 in four hours of oral instruction on healing, the use of the sacred thread and vestments, the Pythagorean image of the sun, and the awakening of the force centers.
Readings: The Jamil Commentaries
Originally published in 1973, a series of six moving impressions expressed by people who actually met The Child with a foreword by Gene Savoy Jr., who met and knew each of the six individuals. Included in the commentaries is Jamil’s natal chart.
Presentations:
- The Three Communions – Gene Savoy Jr.
A comprehensive commentary on the three communions – the communion of bread and water, the communion of light, and the communion of the Divine Presence – their importance, meanings, and related symbologies.
- Solar Cultures of Africa – Shawn Smith
Every culture that applied The System has something to offer us. This includes the many solar cultures that existed in Africa. This presentation will focus mainly on the Dogon of western Africa.
- Liturgical Chimes and Hand Gestures – Bruce Kanzelmeyer
Sound, color, and an introduction to chants and gestures used in the Sunrise Divine Service. (click here for more details).
- Origins of Shingon Buddhism – Yukinori Matsushita
Shingon Buddhism, meaning “True Word,” is one of the major sects of Buddhism in Japan and was founded by Kukai (774 – 835 CE), known posthumously as Kobo Daisih, after he traveled to China, where he studied Tangmi under the monk Huiguo and became a Teacher of Light and introduced a solar religion to Japan. His school at Mount Koya has one of the few replicas in the world of the so-called Nestorian Monument.
- What is Metanoia ? – Ted Staver
Exploring the concept of metanoia as it relates to The System of Cosolargy and The Community as a whole: the forms of metanoia; metanoia as regeneration of spirit and a special state of grace that is a blanket over the Community; collective manifestation of metanoia and Shekinah; the oral tradition of the paradosis as the secret of parousia and the means to metanoia.
- The Solar Cross and The Sacred Calendar
“The Sacred Calendar” – Amanda Buchanan
The geometry of the Sacred Calendar, sacred days and how they were derived, the calculation of sunrises and sunsets, and how the calendar relates to the Solar Cross.
“The Solar Cross” – Michael McIntyre
A multi-faceted approach on the symbology of the Solar Cross borrowing from the disciplines of anthropology, cognitive science, ancient texts, geometry, and psycholinguistics.
- The Essene Legacy – Robert Petrovich
Rediscovering, through the Sacred Teachings of Light and the findings of recent scholarship, the power and dedication of the Essenes and Therapeutae.

- New Scientific views of Consciousness – Rebecca Willis
A new movement within science is working to overturn the currently accepted materialistic worldview and its limitations on understanding the human spirit. They recognize consciousness as beyond the brain and primary to physical existence. Their work offers new perspectives on consciousness while laying a groundwork for greater receptivity to the teachings of Cosolargy within society.
• State of The Community Address – Gene Savoy Jr.
A report by the Head Overseer on the activities of The Community; on things accomplished; projects in the works or nearing completion; and strategies, tasks, and ventures planned for the near future.
