CONTEMPORARY MASTERS SERIES
Jean Houston, Ph.D., scholar, philosopher and researcher in Human Capacities
On Sunday, March 10, from 1 to 3 pm, Reverend Glenda and Reverend Judy will present the second in a series of 2-hour workshops featuring the life and times, worldview, and philosophy of one of the world's foremost contemporary master teachers.
This month's workshop focuses on exploration of the teachings of Jean Houston, long regarded as one of the principal founders of the Human Potential Movement..
The workshop will expand upon and support the general theme of Sunday talks for March, which are based on material from Jean Houston's book, The Wizard of Us: Transformational Lessons from Oz.
The workshop will be an integral experience combining audio/video presentations and discussion.
Dr. Houston is noted for her ability to combine a deep knowledge of history, culture, new science, spirituality and human development into her teaching. She is known for her inter-disciplinary perspective delivered in inspirational and humorous keynote addresses. Her lifetime passion is to encourage the inherent possibilities, visions and capacities that lie within each person and/or group, and translate them into positive action.
Jean Houston says: "In our time we have come to the stage where the real work of humanity begins.
It is the time where we partner with Creation in the creation of ourselves, in the restoration of the biosphere, the regenesis of society and in the assuming of a new type of culture; the culture of Kindness.
Herein, we live daily life reconnected and recharged by the Source, so as to become liberated and engaged in the world and in our tasks."
"Jean Houston's mind should be considered a national treasure", said Buckminster Fuller, a renowned American philosopher, thinker, visionary, inventor, architect, engineer, mathematician, poet and cosmologist.
Don't miss this opportunity to join with the Revs in exploration of the teachings and ideas that have helped form the foundation of Common Ground and a spiritual perspective that understands the need to embrace our own humanity and that of others while remembering to express our divinity and see the divinity in other beings on the planet.

FOCUS ON THE ENVIRONMENT
Carlsbad Flower Fields
The annual burst of color in bloom on a 50 acre hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean is one of nature's official ways of announcing the arrival of spring in southern California.
For over sixty years, the rolling hills of Carlsbad have been a spectacular and coordinated display of natural color and beauty provided by the swath of red, orange, yellow, green, and purple blossoms.
The Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up The Flower Fields are in a full bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life.
Besides the blossom show at the Flower Fields, there is a Miniature Rose Garden, a poinsettia greenhouse, a sweet pea maze and a display that includes each of the more than 180 All-American Rose selection winners since 1940. For an extra fee, you can take a wagon ride around the fields or mine for gems in a simulated gold-panning setup.
There is a full calendar of Special Events at the Flower Fields every year!
Tickets are available online or at the fields. Take time to enjoy the spectacular beauty of nature.
Carlsbad Flower Fields are located at
5704 Paseo Del Norte,
Carlsbad, CA, in north San Diego County, just off I-5.
Call (760) 431-0352 for information.
