Our Spiritual Community Newsletter

Our loving thanks to beautiful Sana Musson who created such a wonderful Easter celebration at her home on Sunday afternoon. We had a great turn-out; the food was fantastic, and we had an opportunity to break bread and commune together in the wonderful way that the Symphony of Life community loves to do.

Also, we express our deep gratitude and appreciation to our wonderful music ministry.....Miyuki Harley and our beloved choir who sang for us this past Sunday. Our music ministry continues to grow and evolve and we are excited about that!

Discover Your Creative Doorways

This unique class is an opportunity to learn how to effortlessly connect with your creative intuition. Each of us has the innate ability to create, yet it is not always in the arts that your creative genius can be found. The question is, how can you effortlessly connect with the creative energies in the universe and produce the creative expression that is uniquely yours? This class, facilitated by Bonnie Landau Weed, artist and graphic designer, will be held Saturdays, June 4, June 18 and June 25, 2011, 9:45 AM to 1:15 PM, 605A E. Oak Street, Ojai, CA. With materials provided by Bonnie, the cost is $135 for all three classes; $50 per class if purchased individually. If you provide your own materials, the cost of the class is $95 for all three classes; $35 per class if purchased individually. To find out more information or to register for the class, e-mail or call Bonnie at Bonnie@LandauDesign.com or (805) 640-1458. 100% of the profits from this class will be donated to the Symphony of Life Spiritual Center (www.solsc.org).

Our beloved Sana Musson facilitated the children's program this past Sunday, along with the much needed and appreciated help of the Mr. Easter Bunny. The children decorated eggs and had an Easter egg hunt. We are very grateful to Sana and to Mr. Easter Bunny (Todd Chandler) for their unwavering dedication to our children.

Mr. Easter Bunny with the Children

Our youth program supports parents in raising joyful, happy children who are self-confident, spiritually aware, global citizens. Each Sunday, our children 3-11 years old enjoy prayer, story telling, visual arts projects and/or music and movement. Our program is enriching and appropriate for young people regardless of their religious backgrounds. As part of our Sunday program, children get to explore the roots, purpose and meaning of special holidays throughout the year.

We welcome assistant teachers who enjoy children and are willing to give of their time once monthly or quarterly. Please call Rev. Marilyn Miller if you are interested (805) 640-0498.
