February 11, 2015
Greetings!
Machine thinking is the opposite of mindfulness.
If we're really engaged in mindfulness
when walking along the path to the village,
then we will consider the act
of each step we take as an infinite wonder,
and a joy will open our hearts like a flower,
enabling us to enter the world of reality.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh,

NEXT SUNDAY
SCHOOL SUNDAY
February 22, 2015
10:30am-11:30am
The Practice of Paying Attention
with Rev. Ron Moor
Paying attention brings a deeper connecting. Deeper connecting most often calls for slowing down. Slower living is more soulful living. How do we begin to slow down? What do we let go, what do we gain? How do we create more of an intentional, slower paced, higher presence, spiritual community? With luminous images, inspirational quotes, and sacred chant.

 LAST SUNDAY
"Paying Attention,
the Inner and the Outer"
with
Rev. Ron Moor
and
musician James Schattauer
 It was an emotional farewell service full of gratitude for James and his music from the heart. James has spent The last 3 1/2 years as Spirit United's music director. We will miss your presence.
Ron said, if we can slow down in each moment, we can move into our witness self and look into our judgment. As we pay attention and take a moment to slow down and soften, soften the judgment, the judgment begins to dissipate molecule by molecule. And at some point we become aware its time to let it go.

with
Patti Gmeiner,
Jeanne Lecher,
and Beth Marquardt
Saturday, Feb. 21, 2015
9:30am-12:00pm
$10 minimum donation
Channeling is information that comes through the higher perspective of Spirit. When a question is asked, it is Spirit that provides the answer. It is Spirit's intent to provide clarity and understanding along with healing and shifting in various areas of the seeker's life.
Each session provides variations in perspectives on the same questions. Questions should be asked in such a way as to require more than just a "yes" or "no" answer. The more involved the questions, the more information is contained in the answer.
All welcome for a morning of answers and fun!
All beliefs are welcome.

This class has required reading and practice between class sessions. By completion of the class, students will have initiated and established a personal energetic healing team and practice using the protocol developed by Ms. Wright. Expect humor and profound experiences of healing!

Do you want more love, more joy, more whole-hearted living? Brene Brown studied people who believed in their own worth, were courageous, and were connected to others empathically. What they had in common was that they moved beyond the universal sense of shame, of unworthiness, that is common to us all. Come learn how uncovering shame can help us develop openness, vulnerability and authenticity.

Gratitude for what has been,
Sorrow for having to let go.

A heart-felt farewell to James as he moves to California with his partner Sage.
We wish for you the very best!
