Welcome to our January Newsletter!

 
We send our warmest greetings to you at the beginning of this New Year. May 2009 be a year of joy and blessings for you; and may you be lovingly touched by the Life's magic and miracles!
 
We are excited about the expanded offerings that are coming for you in 2009! Bill Bauman will be in 7 cities across the country for weekend seminars. Our Second Annual Mentoring Graduates Gathering in April, now open for registration, will be a blessing-filled experience.
 
Also, we want to call your attention to the Referral Directory on our CSL website and, importantly, to the change in this month's teleconference date.
 
Weekend Seminars in 2009
 
Beginning next month, Bill will be traveling around the country for a series of weekend seminars, entitled "A Soulful Weekend with Bill Bauman." Both he and Donna are so looking forward to connecting intimately with and expanding our CSL Community during these sacred weekend experiences.
 
In a sincere effort to be sensitive to those affected by our current economic condition, we have lowered the fee for all our seminars. We hope this decision helps you should you feel soulfully called to join us in one of these sacred weekends.
 
Our first 2009 seminar, held in Southern California's San Diego area, will take place in the lush and beautiful Quail Botanical Gardens in Encinitas the weekend of February 21-22. The Gardens will be available for seminar participants and will add a beautiful and inspiring dimension to the seminar experience.
 
To register or for more information, please contact Barbara Bourdette (858) 792-6506 or Mona Posner monapos@mac.com

The seminar will be held at the Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve, another beautiful backdrop for participants to experience as a part of the sacred outpouring of grace that happens during these gatherings.

 News for Mentoring Participants

Second Annual Mentoring Graduates Gathering

 
 
We are excited to invite all those who have participated in any of our mentoring programs since we began them in 2004 to gather once again in St. George for a sacred, spirit-filled and intimate three-and-a-half day reunion and expanded mentoring experience. We will meet at the Abbey Inn Conference Center this April 3-6, 2009.
 
Last year's "first annual" mentoring graduates' gathering was a deeply soulful, powerful and growthful celebration for the ninety persons present. This year's experience will be equally empowering and expansive for all those graduates who choose to join us in this soulful experience.
 
We will be emailling a separate flyer and registraion form to all our mentoring graduates. For more information, please call or email Elinor: 435-656-2783; or
elinor@aboutcsl.com. We look forward to coming together again.

Rick Pathman, a CSL Trainer/Mentor will lead the call on February 18 at 7:00 PM Pacific Time.
 
These two calls have been scheduled to

Immersion in Mysticism

 "Living the Mystery and Magic 
 of the Mystical"
 
Registration continues for our new Mysticism program, led by Bill Bauman and designed for persons whose nature is more mystical, being-based or oneness-oriented. Beginning in May, this innovative program will initiate us into the expansive ways in which the mystical realm can become a powerful source for our healing, growth and fullness.
 
 
If you are interested in this exciting program, please contact Elinor Hall at elinor@aboutcsl.com or 435-656-2783; or visit our web site:
http://aboutcsl.com/offer_special.html#mystics.
for detailed information and registration.       
  
 
CSL Referral Directory
 
We have a wonderful resource on our CSL website that we invite you to use and enjoy. Here you will find a directory of goods and services offered by members of our own CSL community from around the country. The CSL Referral Directory serves as a resource for anyone looking for services, as well as those who have goods and services to offer. If you're in either of these two categories, please give yourself the treat of consulting our directory.
 
The listing process is self-directed and easy to use. And the listings are categorized for ease of location. Please visit:
http://aboutcsl.com/directory.asp.
 
Our special thanks to Austin's own Bobbi Breo for her volunteer work in overseeing the Directory and keeping us updated. Bobbi invites those who have a listing in the Directory to check it and update listing information if necessary.
