Greetings!
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go.
I travel for travel's sake.
The great affair is to move.

A good traveler has no fixed plans,
and is not intent on arriving.
-Lao Tzu

MYSTERY SCHOOL SUNDAY
May 24, 2015
10:30am-11:30am
The Spiritual Practice of Getting Lost
with Rev. Ron Moor
Have you ever felt lost and yet at the same time felt stuck in a rut? How many books read, psychics consulted, classes attended, pilgrimages embarked upon have you taken attempting to find your way? Have you ever considered that perhaps being lost is the way? We will explore the possible gifts of "lostness" with luminous images, inspirational quotes and sacred chant.
Why, when God's world is so big, did you fall asleep
in a prison of all places?
Rumi

 LAST SUNDAY 
May 10, 2015
Honoring Mother: Celebrating
Mother's Day
with Ellen Swanson,
Stephanie Siddiqui
and Rev. Ron Moor
along with musician
Mary Louise Knutson
Stephanie spoke of how her mothering role is influenced by her childhood culture and her the culture her husband and she are creating for their family. Ellen spoke of her relationship with her mother as she was making the transition out of her body and onto the next journey. She left us with questions to ponder with regard to our own lives. Ron focused on the mother of us all, the earth. Mary Louise Knutson shared her gift of transforming musical notes through her fingers into a living experience for us to feel and hold in our hearts.

$20.00
Register: Sign-up sheet in the back at Spirit United or contact Karen by clicking here.
Do you want more love, more joy, more whole-hearted living? Brene Brown studied people who believed in their own worth, were courageous and connected with 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.
