Greetings!

meditation-soul awakening

 

All we need is meditation

so don't go calling for no medication

The truth has been waiting for resurrection

so do it some justice and pay attention

The time has come to for our true self projection

so make sure you hold on, cause the ride will get bumpy and cause for some - ejection

as long as there is no self-rejection

we will all find ourselves in the right direction

for our unique soul prescription

so be strong and roar

roar your loudest roar

make them wonder what's new in the air

and then you quietly say

oh nothing my dears

just a soul awakening over here

-     Tora Simpson

LAST SUNDAY'S LATE SERVICE 
April 6, 2014     
 
"The Energy of Forgiveness:
A Gift of Freedom"


with Chris Furlong, colleague of Dr. Mark Umbreit,
and musician Gary Ten Bear

Dr. Umbreit was the original plan. Due to a family emergency was unable to come.  Chris Furlong works in the Dept of Corrections as a Restorative Justice Coordinator.  She introduced a video then facilitated a discussion afterwards.  A community member told me,  "She was great and it was a powerful film."  Also, Gary Ten Bear played his flute and shared his experiences in Restorative Justice.  "It really made me think of where I am in my life in regard to a deeper personal forgiveness process."

THE HEALING WHEEL
OF LIFE  

 
with Rev. Ron Moor
Begins Tues, Apr. 15 - June 24
(11 weeks)

7:00pm-9:00pm
$30 per week for $330
or $300 if paid in full at first class

To register call Ron at 952-929-1559 or email by clicking here.    

This land, Minnesota/Wisconsin on Turtle Island, has its own organic holiness. In this intermediate class we will study the sacred Medicine Wheels of this place, opening to its native spirituality. We will integrate this into a powerful hands-on healing technique, the Healing Wheel of Life.  A crucial part of our learning is engaging in experiential exercises and ceremonies that bring us into a greater understanding and sense of unity with all creation.  Open to all.

"The Mysteries of Easter"
with Rev. Ron Moor


Saturday, April 19, 2014
1:00pm-4:00pm
 
What is Easter, really? Why are there so many different celebrations on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox? What is the deeper meaning of the events of Holy Week? What is the resurrection, really? What does it all mean to 21st century humans striving to regain their connection with creation and creator?

We will look at the earliest known "Easter type" rituals that date back at least 18,000 years, check out the later pre-Christian rites, spend some time with Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and discuss the post religious possibilities that are now emerging. With images, lecture, discussion and meditation we will explore the magic and myths of this special time of year.

After our Saturday afternoon together of questing and discussing perhaps we will be more able to appreciate and participate in our community Celebration of Easter on Sunday morning.

Julia Assante will be here!

Community Corner
A thought provoking find from Carol McCormick. 

YOUR WAVES .... Did you know are like a radio, transmitting and picking up the vibrations and waves of absolutely every being on this planet and beyond!?

What are you transmitting, what are you picking up?

You have the power within to raise the vibrations, not just for yourself but for every being and the planet. Why?

Because we are ALL one, planet and beings alike.  
- Jeff Andrews
