Spring has come to Oklahoma with many heavy rains and thunderstorms. We love being here on the top of Sparrow Hawk Mountain to view the storms coming in from many different counties. Most of the tree blossoms are gone. In their place, beautiful spring green leaves seem to appear over night. The hummingbirds are here in full force now. A few weeks ago a scout appeared, and then three and now about eight were on the feeders this morning.
This year we have two Taurus full moons. We just celebrated the wonderful Wesak Festival with our Ritual and Sacrament students participating with our community members. On May 19 we will celebrate a second Taurus full moon, commonly called a "blue moon" because it is a rare occurrence, (you know, once in a blue moon).
Carol and travelers are off to Turkey for most of the month. We will miss their energy in the village, but know they will have an exciting and knowledgeable adventure. We are looking forward to their stories when they return.
Our travelers will return in time for Graduate Trimester II, when Nancy Macdonald, MSW will present "The Human Validation Process." Following our grad week, DaEl Walker will present a weekend workshop on using "power tools" for healing. He is bringing a crystal skull, "Rainbow," for us to observe. His special slide show presentation on Sunday, June 1, from 2:00 - 4:00 pm will give us a view of the inside of the skull. DaEl is available for private appointments.
If you would like to join us, call 800.386.7161 or contact the Registrar.
I am looking forward to seeing you here with us soon.
Many Blessings,
Rev. Linda Oliver
Administrative Dean

Ascension Sunday
"The Meaning of Pilgrimage"
Rev. Carol E. Parrish
With pilgrimage on our mind, let's look at how our journey through a physical life is that of a soul experiencing incarnation. We come in to go uphill and down, win and loose, celebrate and grieve. When on a trip in the group, we form a group mind and each one's experience belongs to all the group. We experience differently but we can learn from one another. Someone once said, "A wise man learned from his experience." Another wiser one said, "No, a wise one learns from the experiences of others." While both hopefully are true, we will ponder the journey and join our hearts and minds as we do.

Pentecost/Mothers Day
"Holy Mother, Holy Spirit" Rev. Marjorie Stuth
 Pentecost is a Greek word that means "fifty days." It originally referred to a religious feast observed 50 days after Passover, on which the Jewish people thanked God for the wheat harvest.
Today, we celebrate Pentecost 50 days after Easter to commemorate the day God sent the Holy Spirit upon the faithful and gave birth to a system of worship and teaching, we call Christianity.
Today, we also honor "Mothering." In our society mothering is often done by both parents. Each has an important work to do with their children. Thus, Mother's Day and Father's Day are honored as one expression of love. As you leave today each person will receive an expression of love. Happy Mother's-Father's Day!

Trinity Sunday
"Is It I Lord" Rev. Roberta Wilkes
 We see much need around us. We want to serve. We are anxious to hear the call. But in this fast-paced age of mass comunication, how can we be certain the call we hear is for us? Is it really I, Lord?

Memorial Sunday
"To Make Sacred"
Rev. Pamela Ramsfield
 The tradition of Memorial Day is to set aside time to reflect on loved ones who have died as well as to honor those who have died in war time service. As our minds go through the activity of highlighting the attributes our loved ones carried, this remembering gives an added value to their life lived. In reflecting on those who have touched our lives it is meaningful to look toward our own life and observe how the unique set of experiences we have gathered are ours to lovingly and willingly give in service to one another. We will explore the ways "to make sacred" the living of the life.
Communion: Rev. Retha Banez
Officiator: Rev. Linda Oliver

GRADUATE PROGRAM TRIMESTER II:
TECHNOLOGIES FOR SPIRITUAL EMERGENCE
The Human Validation Process: Becoming More Fully Human
Nancy Macdonald, MSW, LICSW, LMFT
This course will examine the teachings of Virginia Satir and how they relate to and enhance her wish to achieve "Peace within, Peace between, Peace among". Satir, at the age of five, decided to become "a children's detective on parents". She wanted to make sense of all the contradictions, deletions and distortions she observed in the relationships around her. We will examine the tools she developed to enhance self-esteem, which is the most important factor affecting behavior. A pioneer in working with human systems, she included physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects in her work with individuals, families, and groups. We will look at ways to deal with the chaos accompanying change as we meet personal and world challenges.$500. 15 CEU hours for LCSW, ACSW, LPC, LMFT, CADC, LADC, LCSW and ACSWsee guest instructor bio

WELLNESS GUIDE PROGRAM
Wellness of Body
Director, Linda Oliver, RN
Learn the origin and evolution of the etheric body and five senses, and how to assist healing, nutritional practices, addictive behavior, and human sexuality. We also explore how to help others during the death-and-dying process. Situational practicum and discussions focus on how to become a guide to others in their need and search for wholeness of body. Guidance and practical suggestions help you-with an emphasis on "you" as counselor-achieve a goal of private practice and/or establishing and operating a center. This week is one of three components required for certification as a Wellness Guide. Note: Wellness Guide Program classes begin on the Saturday morning prior to Grad Week and continue on the Sunday prior and the Saturday following Grad Week. Wellness Guide enrollees also participate in Grad Week activities with other seminary students.

SPIRITUAL MENTOR PROGRAM
Spirituality and Dreams, The Shadow Self, Sexuality, and Relationships
Director, Rev. Carol E. Parrish, PhD.
The Spiritual Mentor Program prepares individuals to assist those who seek a personal relationship with the Divine Essence within themselves. A Spiritual Mentor is a catalyst, confidentially interacting with the seeker to stimulate the process of relating and responding to God as personally understood. This work transforms the mentor as well as the seeker.
This is one of three components required for Spiritual Mentor certification. Note: Spiritual Mentor Program classes are scheduled for the weekends immediately preceding and/or following Graduate Week. Spiritual Mentor enrollees also participate in Grad Week activities with other seminary students.

Friday Evening Special Event
POWER TOOLS
DaEL Walker
What can you do with tools which let you charge your water with life force energy so that when you drink it, you absorb and use that energy? What if you could charge all your foods right through the unopened package, bottle or can? What would be the benefits to charging your house plants, your jewelry, crystals, even your clothing? But there is more. You can neutralize the negative electromagnetic fields (EMF) which radiate out of your cell phones, computers, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lights.
You can reduce pain, accelerate healing, even send healing energy to people thousands of miles away! You can improve your meditations and even protect against psychic attack.
All of this is possible with the most revolutionary invention of modern times, the Crystal Mandala Charger. Come and experience an evening of power and wonder.
$50.

Weekend Workshop
POWER HEALING

Crystalotherapy is a simple system of energy healing which creates maximum results in a minimum of time. Most people will experience pain reduction in 15 minutes or less.

You will learn to:
* Open up your inner ability to channel energy
* Scan the body, detect and correct imbalances
* Send energy directly to the problem for rapid reduction of pain or tension
* Balance the neurological, endocrine, and circulatory systems
* Reduce pain and tension in the body
* Remove headaches, including migraines
* Balance the chakra energy center
* Amplify healing using teams of therapists
* Combine the techniques into a comprehensive treatment method

Sunday, 3 - 5 PM: HEART/MIND BLESSING
During this blessing, the recipient remains fully clothed, lying on a healing table, while one of the ancient biblical healing oils is intuitively chosen for him or her. The ritual, inspired by the desire to be in resonance with the loving compassionate heart of God, establishes a connection and an energy balance between the heart and the mind. The blessing takes about 20 minutes and recipients make donations to support the work of the Wellness Center.
June 23 - 27

Note: For intuitive purposes, bring one or two photos of individuals you know well (one person to a picture).
PM session: The Art of Dowsing
Charles and Doris Pass
Through the powers within yourself, learn to attune to little-understood energies. Dowsing has been useful over the centuries for finding water, minerals, lost articles, and unknown pieces of information. This human capability has earned its place in this technical, sophisticated age. Learn to measure energy fields, answer questions, and discover influences in the world about us, using tools such as the pendulum, L rod, and Y rod. Field exercises will be included, weather permitting. This class is exciting and fun!
