This Sunday's Service
November 17, 2013
10:30am-11:30am
"Deep Listening and Contemplative Chanting as Pathways to the Divine" with guest speaker, Robert Kokott
Singing, chanting, and toning have been central to all the world's great religious traditions. Science is compiling a wide body of evidence that sound directly transforms our bodies and our minds. Deep healing and spiritual development go hand in hand through the use of our voices. We all directly engage in and experience the beautiful and profound power of Sound Healing by joining our voices in heartfelt, simple holy mantras from traditions east and west. Silence, too, will be our friend.

This Sunday's Kids With Spirit Program
November 17, 2013
To promote the spiritual life skill of chant to our children, they will be in the service this week. This way each one of us will take on the role of teacher by modeling and learning together.
Theme: Living My Story
Mantra: To know God, I must know myself;
To see God, I must see myself;
If I want to love God, I must love myself.
~ Nahko Bear, Medicine for the People

"The Love that Moves the Stars"

Some say that gravity is another name for love. We have gravitated toward one another. Why are we together? How does the "I" become a "we"? We call ourselves a community and have companions along the way. What does this mean? Listen by clicking here.
