Our Spiritual Community Newsletter

We have a fabulous new 8-week class which will be beginning Thursday, June 2, 7:00 - 10:00 PM. This class will be taught by Rev. Karen, and it will take the participants deeply into their own personal transformation. We will be taking a closer look at who we are, what we believe, how we can shift some of our limiting patterns to become our own authority. We will examine the things that get in the way of our true freedom. To register, contact Rev. Karen at (805) 640-3743 or e-mail Karen.Wylie@solsc.org. The registration fee is $195 and payment plans are available.

We have received our entry form and will be meeting on a regular basis now to prepare our float for the Fourth of July parade. We are inviting any of our members who are interested in participating to come to the planning meetings that we will be having now every Monday afternoon until parade time at 4:00 PM, 410 Bryant Street, Suite K. There are opportunities to help design, decorate, ride on or dance alongside of our entry. Our official organization contact and Entry Marshall for this year is Candace Hull. Everyone is welcome! We will also be planning for a Symphony of Life picnic after the parade. Come join in for lots of fun!

We extend our deep gratitude and appreciation to our wonderful Director of Music, Miyuki Harley who sang for us this past Sunday, Mother's Day, along with Renee Mandala. Their medley of songs dedicated to Moms everywhere was beautiful. 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 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.
