December 3, 2014
Greetings!
peace.
it does not mean to be in a place
where there is no noise, trouble
or hard work. it means to be in
the midst of those things and still
be calm in your heart.

Dancing With the Energy of Conflict & Trauma
with guest speaker
Mark Umbreit
and musician Yazmin Bowers
"Drawing upon his many years of work in peace building and restorative justice throughout the US and numerous other countries, Mark will talk about peace not being the absence of conflict and trauma in our lives. Rather, it is about being in the presence of conflict and traumatic events and finding peace within our heart.

  NEXT SUNDAY
December 7, 2014
10:30am-11:30am
"The Wondrous Gift" with Rev. Ron Moor and musician
Barbara McAfee
On this third Sunday of our expectancy and the final month on our soul's journey to love and freedom, we focus on the Wise Fool archetypical energy.
Who, or what, is the Wise Fool?
In this season of expectancy and of gifting, what would the wise fool in each of us seek to give to ourself and our community that goes far beyond anything "material" yet would have a profound influence on our material world?
We are no fool when we give what we cannot keep
to gain what we cannot lose.
~ Jim Elliot

LAST SUNDAY  November 30, 2014
"Advent Means To Come"
with Rev. Carol Parrish-Hara
Carol Parrish-Harra had so many pearls of wisdom to share. It was a delight to
listen to her talk about Advent as the annual time for the newness in our spirit
as an inner birth. Advent is also for working towards epiphanies, settling grievances and deepening relationships with ourselves and others. Click here to listen.

Kundalini: The Force Within
with Chrism
Sunday, December 7, 2014
12:30pm-2:00pm
To register or for questions contact Rosemary. Click here
or call 651-452-3161.
Chrism will talk about Kundalini as a natural phenomenon, a birth right of every human being. "Kundalini is the source of our true self beyond the body and into our divine qualities.... Kundalini is that gateway into becoming what God has destined for you to have at this time - enlightenment. It is very strong. It is very loving. It is self aware and has its own consciousness that has been waiting within you for the right time and the right information for you to bloom." ~chrism
Those present will receive information about Kundalini and its awakening as a natural process. They will also receive, as their own openness provides and judges appropriate for them, a transmission of energy radiating in a natural way from the speaker.
~~~~~~~~~
Chrism came into life with a fully awakened Kundalini energy and speaks from his authentic experience. From his life experience and that of others, he has been guided and committed to teaching others, so that they have a safe, complete, and supported expression of their own Kundalini energy.

A message: GIVING THANKS
from Janet Bergman
The Fall Festival is over. Thanks to all who came and participated in this great event. This year's festival was our most successful in terms of funds raised. And for this, our community is most grateful...for it helps us to thrive.
The Heroes of the Festival - the givers of ideas, energy, and efforts - numbered more than 65 men, women, and teens. You Heroes served in the many roles of advanced planners, organizers who readied the space and prepared the food, healers, readers, ushers, donators, vendors, decorators, cooks, servers, bakers, sellers, cleaner uppers and closers.
We welcomed new heroes who joined us for the first time this year and rejoiced in those who returned to make this event happen. We are blessed. Thank you!
