LAST SUNDAY 
Easter Sunday
April 5, 2015
Awakening the Dreamer to the Beautiful New Worldwith Rev. Ron Moor and guest musicians  Josie Schmidt Just and Brian Just
We are awakening to the new story just as Mary Magdalen awakened to see the angels next to the empty tomb. And then metanoia. She looks twice before she realizes who she thought was the gardener, was Jesus. When the Greek word metanoia (turns twice) is translated more closely, it means shifting your consciousness. This part of the Easter scriptures tells us we have to shift our consciousness in order to see the new story forming in every moment of every day. We are all in metanoia as we walk the labyrinth. Each turn we take allows us an opportunity to shift into seeing the new story. Click here to listen to the service.

Deep Compassionate Listening:
A Gift of Awakening
facilitated by Dr. Mark Umbreit  Sunday, April 12, 2015 1:00pm-2:30pm $20 Register: Click here to contact Mark. Deep compassionate listening is a mindfulness-based practice grounded in our heart, not our head. It goes far beyond the more common active listening that by definition keeps us in the head. By working with breath and silence, taming our ego, deep listening is truly of a gift of awakening for both the practitioner and the recipient.
The workshop will provide opportunities to learn and practice centering/breath work, deep compassionate listening, and cultivating the power of presence through mindfulness. Mindfulness, deep listening, and stories are the spiritual core of peace building within and among others.
Course Objectives:
1. To understand the healing power of deep compassionate listening
2. To learn and experience the practice of deep compassionate listening
3. To understand and practice the combined power of mindfulness, deep listening, and stories as the spiritual core of peacebuilding within and among others.
Presenter Biographical Information:
Dr. Mark Umbreit is Director of the Center for Restorative Justice & Peacemaking at the University of Minnesota and a Visiting Professor at the Marquette University Law School in Milwaukee. Mark is also on the faculty of the Center for Spirituality & Healing at the U.M. His most recent book is Dancing With The Energy of Conflict & Trauma: Letting Go - Finding Peace. Mark has been working with colleagues in Northern Ireland and Israel/Palestine on peace building initiatives.

Ojibway Prayer
Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds
And whose breath gives life to everyone,
Hear me.
I come to you as one of your many children;
I am weak...I am small...I need your wisdom
and your strength.
Let me walk in beauty and
make my eyes behold the red and purple sunsets.
Make my ears sharp so I may hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand
what you have taught my people and
The lessons you have hidden in
each leaf and each rock.
I ask for wisdom and strength
Not to be superior to my brothers,
but to be able to fight my greatest enemy, myself.
Make me ever ready to come before you
with clean hands and a straight eye.
So as life fades away as a fading sunset
My spirit may come to you without shame.
