Welcome to our May Newsletter!
We are so delighted to connect with you, our dear CSL family. Every month, we experience this newsletter as our deep and touching interaction with you, even though the words may appear as a one-way communication. Please feel our heart as you read through the information of this month's news.
This month we are once again featuring our very first silent retreat which will be held July 26-29 on the East coast. Also, we are providing you with details about the next Level I mentoring group which will begin this November. Then, we are happy to introduce this month's CSL trainer/mentor, Kelly Jean Dammeyer; and finally, we have an update for you on Bill and Donna.

A Call to the Spirit of Silence
Bon Secours East Coast
Silent Retreat
Our first silent retreat is scheduled for July 26-29, 2008 at Bon Secours Retreat Center in Marriottsville, Maryland. We are excited about the opportunity to move into the deep silence of our souls with our CSL family and others who may be drawn to join us.
To facilitate the richness of our experience of sacred silence, Bill Bauman will be a strong presence, giving three talks daily and extending his unique blessing to each of us.
There are still spaces available for the weekend and, in addition to extending a warm invitation to you to join us, we invite y ou to share this opportunity with your family and friends who may not be familiar with CSL and who you feel might enjoy being with us. There are no prerequisites for attending the retreat -- just an inspiration to join us.
For more information, including details about vacationing in the Washington/Baltimore area before or after the retreat, please contact Kathy Farinholt at kathy.farinholt@verizon.net or 410-719-9689.

New Level I Mentoring 2008-2009
"The mentoring process is a way to be loved back into who you are. It's time out for your soul - a must for any human being on the planet to be more fully expressed, more authentic, and even more joyful and full of life."
--Jill Lublin
Novato, CA
We are pleased to announce a new Level I mentoring program in Soulful Living and Empowerment, lovingly led and guided by BIll Bauman. We are now accepting applications for the program that will begin November 15, 2008 and conclude April 27, 2009.
This three-weekend program is an in-depth mentoring experience that helps us, in a small group setting, to connect more powerfully with our own souls -- and the very soul of Life itself -- and experience the unlimited power, rich love and profound wisdom of that soulful nature. In Bill's words "Our goal is full empowerment, clothed in the sacredness of our soul's loving truth."
For more information or to register, please contact Elinor Hall at 435-656-2783 or email elinor@aboutcsl.com.

Update: Bill and Donna
We know, you're thinking: "Bill and Donna are having a great time during their month in France now." Well, we've had a last minute change of plans.
Just before departing for France, we discovered that Bill had a large hole his heart (PFO), accompanied by a strongly fluttering septum (atrial septum aneurism)--which together constituted the perfect set-up for a major stroke. Yes, he has had this condition all his life with no overt symptoms. Haven't we been fortunate that nothing major has happened all these years!
So, on the very day of our scheduled flight to France, Bill had a successful surgery that closed that hole. He is now recuperating nicely at home, under Donna's loving care.
We are in a deep state of awe and gratitude for what we consider the wondrous gift that has just been given to us. We're interpreting this set of events as a divine blessing: Bill's heart being given the strength and stamina to support his dedicated spiritual work for many, many years to come.
We are asking everyone to not send cards, emails, well wishes, flowers, food, etc. We feel we have been given this month for quiet, private time in which to be alone and recuperate.
Our plan as of this moment is to stay here at home for the month (Au-revoir, France!), with Bill recuperating, resting, and writing his next book (as planned) and Donna specializing in her painting (also as planned). In order to make this possible for us, we won't be opening or responding to emails during this time, but we wanted you to all know. As always, we thank you for your ongoing, loving support of us.
Warmly ~ Donna and Bill
