Sylvia comments: “Times of transition bring opportunities for breakdown or breakthrough. Of the many spiritual principles that guide and support us through these episodes, one of the most potent is staying present in the moment. Join me for a journey exploring intentional transformation.”
Love Melting Into Love
Sally Wells comments: “We are continually in transitions of one kind or another, it is part of life right? And it is also all part of God! The unfolding of ourselves is a Divine process... and as such we are fully supported and loved exactly as we are right now. It is this realization of Grace that transforms our experience of life’s transitions and lovingly guides us home to love”.
Reverend Tanya Wyldflower will conduct a special CandleLighting Ceremony, in honor of the Day of the Dead, for all who have transitioned from this earth life. Death brings up this question- “What is eternal and what is temporary?” Humans have wrestled with the meaning of death from the time we were able to contemplate such things. In this season, a Celtic Druid celebration, a holiday called Sadheim, has spread throughout the Western world- we call it All Souls Day, the day of the dead. This is a holy day that acknowledges and speaks to a very deep part of our collective consciousness.
Rev Ruth comments, “What thoughts are conjured up when you think of harvest? What if the fields of your life are barren? In a country that encourages having more and a teaching that celebrates it, what do we do when our good comes up short? What do we think and say to ourselves?
Where do we find our gratitude then?”
Licensed Practitioner, Sally Wells, comments, “We are all in a great process. This process is us. We are the seed, the soil, and the fruit. Where our consciousness is rooted will become the fruit of our harvest. Realizing the true self...a good harvest is our destiny.”
Next Sunday our speaker is Reverend Ruth Barnhart, with Sarah Wagner as our musician.
Licensed Spiritual Practitioner, Jade Aldrich, will speak on the power of compassion and gratitude as we walk into the change of seasons and how the work of harvesting itself has the ability to create internal resilience and strength while feeding us vital spiritual energy to sustain the soul for the long winter months ahead.
Reverend Tanya invites everyone attending to take the time today to contemplate the good in our lives, individually and collectively. To focus on what we want more of and to enlarge that. Dr. Holmes in the Science of Mind textbook states, “We have looked at poverty, degradation and misery until they have assumed gigantic proportions. Now we must look at harmony, happiness, plenty, peace and right action, until they appear.”
Next Sunday our speaker is Licensed Practitioner Jade Aldrich speaking on “Autumn Abundance- How to Harvest Peace from Pain” with Marcus McCallen as our musician.
Reverend Ruth asks, “Does life ever just seem too much; too much happening, too much to do, to much to fix or save? How and where do we find refuge? And what does it matter anyhow?”
Next Sunday our speaker is Reverend Tanya Wyldflower speaking on “Harvest Your Good” with Shawn Abell as our musician.
Celebrate the Fall Equinox with a look at what balances us, where do we find the equilibrium in our lives that leads to the experience of equipoise. In a world out of balance- it is important that we find the inner balance within to help balance the without. Join us in this exploration and sharing of what we know works….
Licensed Practitioner Sally Wells speaks on the topic Sheltering in God. Within the within we find our connection to the All in all. In this talk Sally will speak to the accessibility we all have right where we are. And how we allow ourselves to know with certainty “the still small Voice” that is guiding us to experience the Truth of who we are...and find refuge in Spirit, in love and enjoy ourselves and each other.
Next Sunday our speaker is Reverend Tanya Wyldflower speaking on “Fall Equinox- a Time of Balancing” with Rainah Dancing Water as our musician.
Reverend Tanya Wyldflower will speak on the concept of refuge, often defined as a place to shelter during troubles. Nhat Hanh says, “We all need a place that is safe and wholesome enough for us to return for refuge. In Buddhism, that refuge is mindfulness. Buddha says, “Make Truth your refuge. There is no other refuge.” In this talk we will explore the place of refuge within.
Next Sunday our speaker is Licensed Practitioner Sally Wells speaking on “Practical Mysticism” with Marcus McCallen as our musician.
Reverend Linda Anson will guide us into point of view from Religious Science teaching that sees each person as unique expressions of God created with sacred worth. She will use our beautiful gardens as metaphor to discuss the many different colors, textures and heights and demonstrating diversity,
