WALKING SHIELD BACK TO SCHOOL OUTREACH


SHOP BACK-TO-SCHOOL SALES NOW


Common Ground traditionally supports the efforts of Walking Shield whose mission is to improve the quality of life for American Indian families.


Walking Shield believes that education is a pathway out of poverty. Walking Shield has provided computers, books, backpacks, and school supplies to Indian Education programs across the United States. 


You can be a part of the effort to increase educational opportunities for American Indians. 



Now is the time to take advantage of back-to-school sales at local stores. Get ready to participate in this important outreach effort.  Depending on your budget, fill a backpack or donate miscellaneous school supplies. There is a way for everyone to contribute.  


Common Ground will collect backpacks and school supplies during August and September for delivery before Thanksgiving.

IONS CONSCIOUS AGING WORKSHOP
The focus of the Conscious Aging workshop series is to invite shifts in consciousness away from self-limitation, lack, isolation, and fear and toward expansiveness, inclusiveness, wholeness, connection, and compassion.

This workshop series will begin in September (date to be determined).

WHAT IS THE QUESTION TO WHICH YOUR LIFE IS THE ANSWER?


During the month of August Reverend Glenda and Reverend Judy invite us to explore those things that call us out in a fundamental way and bring us a source of vitality no matter what is going on in our lives.  


They will help us recognize those luminous moments when we generate something important from within ourselves and make it real in our lives.  


They will help us understand that the quality of our actions and our experiences is more important than whether what we are doing is big or small.  


They will remind us that when we are clear and connected to our divine purpose we will know in our hearts what to do.  The 'doing' becomes informed by our 'being'.


They will validate the idea that each of us wants to know that our life makes a difference ~ that we count for something.  


This is a perfect talk topic for anyone who is willing to listen to the answers that interest them most in an effort to discover what connects them to the energy of the life they were meant to live.


Please join us every week for an hour of inspiration, music, message and meditation. Everyone is invited and included.  


Come as you are.  As you are is perfect.
 
In addition to Sundays at The Chapel there are many opportunities at Common Ground each week to grow in awareness.  Be sure to check out our busy calendar for the most up-to-date listing.
Common Ground is founded on the idea of embracing humanity ~ our own and that of others.  We endeavor to serve and empower the local and global community,  to actively support efforts toward creating a sustainable planet, and to grow as individuals toward a healthy lifestyle ~ body, mind and spirit.


We are creative, innovative, and contemporary in our approach to learning and demonstrating practices to support us in navigating through the complexities of day-to-day life; including meditation, personal growth, and exploration of wisdom traditions


Please check us out to see if we are a fit for your spiritual journey.
