they were keeping time to some kind of

THIS SUNDAY
Mystery School Sunday
April 26, 2015
10:30am-11:30am

The Spiritual Practice of Walking On The Earth
with Rev. Ron Moor

While we walk upon the earth, do we really live on it or in it? Why do so many wisdom traditions connect the divine feminine, earth, nature, soul and cosmos? Do we each have our own individual soul, or are we ensouled? On this first Sunday after Earth Day, we will explore our profound interconnection with Gaia, our earth, and the new spirituality that is emerging.

Our morning will also be part of our own Earth Day celebration as we continue after the service with a soup and salad pot luck leading into the Awakening The Dreamer Symposium. Please join us for this inspiring and informative day of community.

SURFING LIFE! Riding the Waves with Passion and Grace
with community member Sage Lewis
and music by James Schattauer
 
What's the risk in fully living a joyful, passionate, abundant, rich life? When the waves come crashing, how to you handle it? When the surf's up, do you run the other direction or grab your board and hop on? Join Sage Lewis, spiritual surfer, for a fun and experiential dive into riding the waves of love, joy and passion! 
LAST SUNDAY
April 19, 2015

Embracing the Spirit of Nature  
with guest speaker
Bernie Saunders
and musician Bret Hesla
   
Bernie used his original photography of nature as an invitation into the light and wonderment of the natural world.  He demonstrated how to pause, see deeply the magical place where spirit and matter connect. The synchronicity of the day was between the photos, message and the music.  Amazingly beautiful.  To listen, click here

Below in Happenings I put three Bernie Saunders photos from his website with a link to his website.

Beccah will provide an experiential explanation of an unlimited intelligence which some call a "Greater Self" or perhaps a higher existence. This "Greater Self" is simply a level of Consciousness that is vast and infinitely more intelligent than our brain-selves can comprehend.  In fact, it is Consciousness itself. It is worthwhile to focus on the "Greater Self" because it holds the keys to freedom, peace, self-realization and unalterable happiness. 

Be ready for an amazing day.
Beccah is very excited to facilitate a direct experience of liberation, not just talk about the concept.
