Spirit United 2013 Theme:
Living the New Paradigm
June: Where We Live
|
This Sunday ~ June 30, 2013 ~ 10:30-11:30am
Guest Speaker:
Rev. Carolyn Cahill
"Everything's Calling Us
Deeper Home"
As pioneers of the emerging new paradigm, we claim responsibility for creating ever-more caring relationships with our selves, our communities (from intimate to global) and our earth. Challenges are inevitable, and part of our service--and a source of strength and joy--can come through recognizing and remembering that such challenges are simply
calling us deeper home...that is, calling us to remember that everything is a part of one Universal Consciousness.
As a former Lead Minister of Spirit United, Carolyn looks forward to being back and sharing some ideas for navigating our multi-dimensionality and the oft-chaotic path of paradigm-building, as well as sharing the joy of knowing we are all One.

"The Eight Gates of Islam
(and a Brief History of Indigenous Islam and Sufism in America)"
by
Zahir Roman Orest
Zahir resides in Minneapolis. He entered into the open spirituality of universal Sufi teachings with the Sufi Ruhaniat Order in the early 70s. He is a senior teacher/guide (Shaiykh) in the Ruhaniat. His spiritual journey has led him to studies with teachers in several Sufi orders, Tibetan Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, Judaism, Quakerism, Eastern Christianity, and Islam. He teaches from his center Noor Saboor, offers workshops nationally, and is spiritual director of the Shining Heart Community's Ozark Sufi Camp. He is a traveling teacher, a Dances of Universal Peace mentor/leader, and an ordained universal minister. A talented musician, he offers many original Zikrs and Dances.

"School Sunday"
By
Rev. Ron Moor
"There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe." ~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

RECAP OF
CD RELEASE CONCERT!!
BY JAMES SCHATTAUER
JUNE 22ND ~ 7:00-8:30PM

L-R: Mary Louise Knutson, Marshall Davis, James Schattauer, Sage Lewis and Dean Magraw.

What a night! Over one-hundred people flooded into Spirit United Saturday evening to hear the debut of James Schattauer's new CD, "ONE". We could feel the buzz Sunday morning as the gifts continued to resonate.
The concert and School Sunday's Service were enhanced by Spirit United's new stage donated by Kevin Pollari and designed, built and finished by Raphael Holden with support from his family (LilyAnn, Victor, SaraRose, LaurelEileen and Shannon).
The CD will be available at Spirit United for $15.00. Half of the proceeds from church sales will be gifted by James to Spirit United.

Workshop: With Rev. Carolyn Cahill
The Levels of Consciousness
and the Wisdom of the Basic Self:
An Introduction
Saturday, June 29, 2013, 10:00am-5:00pm
and
Sunday, June 30, 1:00pm-5:00pm
The World Soul, the Anima Mundi, has a new evolutionary call. The very fabric of consciousness is changing. There is great opportunity for rapid advancement, which also means that there is great opportunity for crisis. We see it in the world around us, which means it is inevitable that it exists with us, to some degree or another.
We are both human and divine. We are multi-dimensional beings. Now is the time to understand more deeply our inner make-up so as to appropriately and responsibly utilize each level of consciousness. Befriending and working effectively with the Basic Self (one's instinctual nature, and so much more) and understanding its relationship to our Conscious Self, Higher Self, and the Anima Mundi (World Soul) of which it is a part, is key to restoring harmony and balance, experiencing a renewed sense of well-being and authentic power, and the integration and synthesis of the Soul. Carolyn's introduction to this work will include practices to release old memories and scars that block the full expression of the authentic inner self.
Investment: $75. Registration deadline: Sunday, June 23.
Bio: Carolyn Cahill was ordained through Sancta Sophia Seminary/Light of Christ Community Church, and served as Spirit United's Lead Minister from 2006-2009. After spending 2 years as a Work/Scholar in Leadership Studies at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA, Carolyn moved to Asheville, NC to serve as the Director of Outreach for the School for Esoteric Studies. She is known as a dynamic and heartfelt leader and a thought-provoking communicator and teacher.

A Reflection by Rick Scholl...
In anticipation of Carolyn Cahill,our former pastor, joining us this weekend, I found myself reflecting on my 5 years at Spirit United. I recall how much I loved her teachings and the messages she shared. And, I remember how sorry I was to see her leave. Then, I realized we have not been idle here.
Our Spirit United Community has been, currently is and will continue to live the new paradigm (as Rev. Ron Moor's theme this year speaks to in his Sunday services and on School Sundays). I see new people continuing to find us as others leave to seek new horizons. I see Spirit United continuing to struggle to meet the monthly financial obligations. But, I know this too is a part of shifting into the new paradigm. We may not be materially wealthy but in spirit we are wealthy indeed.
These are exciting times!
Rick Scholl is a Council of Steward Member and Treasurer for Spirit United.
