"A Time of Expectancy: Living Hope" with Rev. Ron Moor
and musician, James Schattauer
We are well into autumn with longer nights and shorter days. The time of Expectancy is here as we move toward The Winter Solstice and Christmas. On our first Sunday of Expectancy we focus on the gift of hope. Let's explore how having hope can take the edge off of our anxieties and the hardness of fears.

"Peace, Purpose, and World Soul: An Inner Journey to Experience Sophia"
with community member, Jerry Buchmeier
This journey will open us to accessing our own souls, the unity within our community, oneness with humanity and the world, and a possible meeting with Sophia herself. The steps of the journey stem from the work of Robert Sardello, a form of group meditation called Synergy, and Jerry's personal experiences.

Mr. Prohaska will show how to magnify the energy flowing from a drum when doing drumming healing. There will also be discussion on how you can use this method in many other ways to flow energy, ground, and increase energy in your brain. He will discuss a method of releasing past negative memories to lighten your heart space. Anyone can do this. Bring your drum along with pen and paper to take notes!

 FILM NIGHT - The World of the GoddessMonday, Dec. 23, 2013

$5.00 suggested donation
Call 651 235-6645
We continue our monthly series of films on "Ancient Mysteries, Ancient Wisdom" with Dr. Maria Gimbutas' work with the Goddess. In her film, she talks to a small group of students and discusses the Old World Goddess cultures as she displays figurines she excavated in Macedonia, Crete, etc. In conclusion, she suggests we cannot go back, but take what is known, incorporate it, and move forward with it.

The Night of Thanksgiving
'Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't sleep.
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned - the dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation
The thought of a snack became infatuation.
So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door
And gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
'Til all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.
I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky
With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.
But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees
"Happy eating to all - Pass the cranberries, please!"
May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey be plump;
May your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump;
May your yams be delicious may your pies take the prize;
May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.
Submitted by Ellen Swanson. It comes from her mother's nursing home's Activities Department.

Commit to Community
The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt.
