The Yes Factor
Reverend Ruth Barnhart discusses ‘Exploring the who, what, when, where and even the why of Availability.’ ❤️
Availability
Ron Nadeau poses the questions, '“How available am I to the essence of my own Being?" How available am I to Divine Source?” This talk will explore availability in terms of change, transformation and creativity. ❤️
Prosperity is Not Optional!
Aileen Cureton will discuss abundance is the nature of life - come join us in looking how you can increase the joy of having and being more in your life! ❤️
How to Build Your Prosperity Muscle
Reverend Ruth Barnhart asks, “How do we build spiritual muscle? And for whom are we doing this practice? We will look at our five spiritual practices and what their relevance is to us personally and to our community.”
The Well of Abundance
As Sally Wells point out, “There is One substance: It is all and sustains all: The You of you. During this talk we will drop into the Well of being and experientially realize One abundant Presence is all of Existence. ‘Consider the lilies, they neither toil nor spin.’
Meditating on Source, self-existent, self-sustaining, we will know the truth that makes us free: Your Source is Presence within you. You are the riches of heaven on earth: that you may give freely as it has been freely given unto you.” ❤️
Spiritual Law of Circulation
George D’Amato, retired practitioner, will speak on the topic of Circulation. He will examine ‘New Thought’ ideas on the Spiritual Law of Circulation and address money from a ‘New Thought’ perspective.” ❤️
I Have an Unlimited Source
As featured speaker Sylvia Gilmour reminds us, Ernest Holmes said: “God wills us to have everything. As we express life, we fulfill God’s law of abundance, but we do this only as we realize that there is good enough to go around - only as we know that all of God’s gifts are given as freely and fully as the air and the sunshine. . . . alike to all.” So today we’ll explore and claim that God is our unlimited Source; all that we desire and are willing to accept is ours.
Fall Into Fall
Reverend Ruth Barnhart reflects, “Looking at balance from the understanding of Oneness, the question arises, ‘who or what is in or out of balance’? Is there something we need to do to experience balance? Or is there even such a thing as better balance? Exploring living the highs and lows of life.”
Harmonious Living
Reverend Gregory Toole notes, “Let’s explore how living in touch with the original harmony, that is our nature, transforms circumstances and conditions. ” ❤️
The Balance Point
As Sally Wells notes, “Balance occurs in the living moment. It is a self-correcting natural order, an intelligence which is built into us. It IS us. This means all is working together for your good, for your growth. The system (which is you) is perfect. What may seem to oppose you is also you, asking for integration. Can we anchor in truth and trust this process? Yes! Balance is our very nature, and it is realized through meditation. Don’t just sit there, do no-thing.”
The Great Universal Power
Reverend Aileen Cureton will speak on “Balancing the personal and the impersonal.”
Where Work and Play Converge
Reverend Ruth Barnhart notes, “God has a sense of humor. This is a line I hear frequently that always gives me pause. What about all the serious conditions and experiences of life, the pain and suffering? How does one take things lightly and still honor what is happening? How do we relate to playfulness as a quality of our true selves?”
Divine Delight
Reverend Gregory Toole will speak on “The Divine delights in being each one of us. Life is playing through being us. Let’s explore how we can get in on this cosmic playfulness.”
Habitual Thinking
George D’Amato, Retired Practitioner, will be examining what we habitually think will show us where we can change our lives for the better.
The Divine Ideal
Sally Wells notes, “Most of us would choose to see love and connection everywhere all the time, would we not? So then, why is it that we do not? In this talk we will discuss The Living Moment and what it means to live truly awake, now.”
Connection Is More Important than Content
Reverend Gregory Toole notes, “So much of our relationships evolve around content: facts, data, opinions and beliefs. Yet relationships are really about connection. We’ll explore how to have more heart-centered relationships that transcend content and take us into greater closeness with those in our sphere.”
United We Stand
So they say we are one. If this is true, how does it affect my life? What about all the people who don’t believe this or the conditions that don’t reflect this? What does spiritual living mean and how do I do it?
The Holiness of Wholeness
As Silvia Gilmour observes, “As I was soul-searching my perception of unity, I found that I believe it means harmonious wholeness. Whether thinking of it in our own individual lives; in community with everyone and everything- everywhere, honoring life in all its diversity; as well as our innate connection with Spirit, I am convinced that true unity is a sacred state of being unbroken. We’ll be looking at all three of those notions conceptually, interspersed with poetry to bolster my conviction of the holiness of wholeness.”
The Bagmen return to Mendocino
The Bagmen are a singer-songwriter duo from Northern California, who have been entertaining audiences for over ten years. They are widely recognized for the sheer joy with which they perform. They have a unique blend of folk, blues, rock and fun that is peppered with a twist of comedic banter. They also share Science of Mind ideas in their lyrics.
Unity - Beyond Duality
Sally Wells observes, “There is a Unity which contains all: whole, unbroken and unbreakable. This Reality is ever present at the center of your being. How do we live from this heart level of being? Are we ready and willing to give up our relative realities to know that - Unity beyond duality?”
