Greetings,
Spring is just around the corner. As we prepare for the Vernal Equinox on Saturday we anticipate, sense, and depending on where you are located, experience the quickening of the Earth. We can smell it in the air, see it in tree buds and spring flowers, taste it in the first thin stalks of asparagus, hear it in the wind, and we can occasionally feel it in the warmer temperatures. Aries' potent forces are being activated. And so are we.
What are you planning to do this year? How are you planning to expand and grow? We invite you to experience one or more of our inspiring and uplifting classes. Start making your plans now to stretch and grow toward the light.
We look forward to seeing you on campus soon.

Sacred Ceremonies

Radiant Light Spiritual Center
Rituals are sacred ceremonies which invoke and evoke energies to empower life. As an Esoteric Christian minister, Marilyn seeks to bring to light the hidden meaning of ritual and the traditional Christian sacraments. The intent is to use ritual with greater understanding of their purpose and intent. The sacraments renew and revitalize life and lift our awareness to the holy.
