The Spiritual Practice of Encountering Others
with Rev. Ron M
oor

Who have you met in your life that has changed the course of your life? Did you ever consider that this encounter, and others like it, was not accidental? Did you know that some spiritual traditions teach that each of us has our own angel that calls us to our more authentic self, often though encounters with others? And just what is meant by "getting over ourselves"? We will explore, and remember, such encounters and together have an opportunity to experience a sacred tradition that can help us more fully encounter others. Presented by Rev. Ron Moor and Adam Wolter. With sacred chant, movement, luminous images and inspirational readings.
 
"The goal of incarnate life is to be in love with the world. Such a life "in sympathy with beings" is lived in love "   
~ Thomas Cheetham
Larry David & Meg Miura Ron Moor and Stephanie Siddiqui  LAST SUNDAY
June 14,2015
 
The Spiritual Practice of Encountering Others 
with
     Rev. Ron Moor 
    along with vocalist Meg Miura  
  and guitarist David Chapman
 
Ron spoke of how each of us encounter the people we meet in our lives.  He asked, "How mindful are you with your experiences (whether they are difficult or smooth) and yourability to notice how it unexpectedly change you in some way?"  Ron went on to explain that in these moments, you experience the face of the divine.  Amazingly an additional shift happens because not only doe it change you, the other person(s) are changed too.  Listen more to examples of moments like these.  Click here.*
