April 2, 2014
Greetings!
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not
be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall
find a way round or through it. If nothing within you
stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water.
If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You
put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle.
You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot.
Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my
friend.
~ Bruce Lee
Spirit United 2014 Theme:
The Soul's Journey to Love and Freedom

April's archetype: Soul Searcher
"In form you are the microcosm,
but in reality you are the macrocosm."
- Rumi

SUNDAY'S LATE SERVICE
April 6, 2014
10:30am-11:30am
This is in the School Sunday format.
"The Energy of Forgiveness:
A Gift of Freedom"with Dr. Mark Umbreit
Dr. Umbreit will share of his own life experience and his work with people from around the world (including Palestine and Israel) with the struggle to let go after conflict and trauma. The act of letting go and finding peace is forgiveness. It is a transformative shift in the energy between former adversaries. This can happen when one comes face-to-face in restorative justice and dialogue. The healing power of story is the guiding path. It reveals supreme importance of humanizing one's adversaries and humbling ourselves. This is the guiding spirit.
In this School Sunday format practical tools for the journey of authentic forgiveness will also be offered.

$10 suggested donation
Dr. Anna Cariad-Barrett will share how "your creativity and soul's wisdom are essential to our global community". This she explored as she and Linda Star Wolf wrote their book, Sacred Medicine of Bee, Butterfly, Earthworm, and Spider: Shamanic Teachers of the Instar Medicine Wheel. They speak about transformers, weavers, pollinators, and shape-shifters who "learn from Earth's ancient wisdom-keepers how to fully embody your sacred purpose." The Instar Medicine Wheel is a shamanic path of transformation and empowerment to assist us in embodying the sacred balance of being both fully human and fully divine. This evening will be an experiential shamanic journey exploring the wisdom of honeybee, butterfly, spider, dragonfly, and more!

Playing By Heart:
Concerts With Conversation
with local artist Barbara McAfee
Last Saturday SU's second in the series of concerts was a huge success!
 Barbara blessed us with song, poetry, music and intimate moments throughout the evening. Her music and conversation brought me to a better understanding of her craft and her life's purpose which inspired me to see myself and my life's journey. I am grateful. I cannot imagine missing any event in the Playing By Heart Concert Series.
