  THIS SUNDAY
December 14, 2014

"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?

"The Wizard's Tale"
with guest speaker and musician Claudia Schmidt
We are here to participate in the magic and mystery of learning to live in that place where one thing is always giving way to another...darkness to light, pain to joy...to
live fully into the alchemy of experience and understanding, in-completion and perfection.

Last Sunday ~ December 7, 2014
Dancing With the Energy
of
Conflict and Trauma
Mark Umbreit
and
musician Yazmin Bowers
Think of "peace as a way of being; it's not doing. How do we get to that state of peace as individuals, communities, countries? It's dancing with the energy of conflict and trauma." What does this dance look and feel like? How can I dance? Listen to Mark's message and Yazmin's beautiful music by clicking here.

Sometimes one likes foolish people for their folly, better than wise people for their wisdom. --Elizabeth Gaskell
Even a fool may be wise after the event.
--Homer
One fool can ask more questions in a minute than twelve wise men can answer in an hour. --Nikolai Lenin
Wise people are foolish if they cannot adapt to foolish people.
--Michel Eyquem de Montaigne
The fool thinks himself to be wise,
but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.
--William Shakespeare
 Wise men learn by other men's mistakes, fools by their own. --H. G. Bohn A wise person does at once, what a fool does at last. Both do the same thing; only at different times. --John Dalberg Acton
