He has a unique approach to the study of human nature and the social order.

SARA THOMSEN IS HERE! Bettie Seitzer and others in our SU community proclaimed over and over, "This is a BIG deal! Sara is amazing and in high demand. What a gift for us." MN Women's Press says "Thomsen's soulful voice, poetic lyrics and unforgettable melodies cut through to the heart and the soul of human experience," To learn more about Sara Thomsen click here.
Dr. Ulness presents his "Spiritual Psychology of Soul Development" workshop after the Sunday service. See below for details.

LAST SUNDAY
September 13, 2015
"Giving Form to Spirit"
with
community member
Jennelle Donnay
and guest musician
Linda Breitag 
Jennelle Donnay (dancer, choreographer, movement coach, seeker of spiritual truth) shared how helping her students open to communicating through dance illuminates the human spirit (hers, her students and beyond). As dance became instrumental to Jennelle's journey for spiritual truth, she awakened to how dance gives form to spirit on the physical plane. This understanding led the way to express and be within pure trust by allowing the expression of emotional truth from the essence of one's being. Linda Breitag's music enhanced Jenelle's dance of words beautifully. To listen, click here.

Workshop:
The Spiritual Psychology
of Soul Development

Dr. James Ulness

12:15pm-2:30pm

The general theme of the workshop is one of raising consciousness to meet the growing opportunities of service to the greater humanity. One aspect of these talks is that the title is usually a jumping off point to what the Ancient Wisdom teachers want conveyed to us.
Dr. Ulness will be our guest speaker at the Sunday Service on this day as well.

 Foundations of Healing:
An Introduction to Energy Healing
with Ron Moor
Tuesdays, Sept. 22 -Dec. 15
(No class: Oct. 27, Nov. 3)  7:00pm-9:00pm
Investment: $30 per class for total $330 or $300 if paid by Sept. 22
In this introductory class we will learn to do hands-on energy healing through lecture, discussion, lots of energy system building exercises, and lots of practice on one another. We will learn of the subtle energy system of the body, the "chakras", how it works, how to tap into it, how to enhance our lives and how to offer healing with it. We will learn a full body healing technique called chelation so that we may enhance our ability to be in service in this ancient way.

VICTORY FOR THE EARTH AND FOR LIFE!
MN Court of Appeals Revokes
Sandpiper Certificate, Requires Enviornmental Impact Statement
The Sandpiper and Line 3 pipelines have been indefinitely postponed because they both are proposed for the same new corridor. (The Sandpiper is the line proposed for the tar sands oil and Line 3 is the operating oil line Enbridge has proposed to abandon.)
The ruling states: "Because the decision to grant a certificate of need for a large oil pipeline constitutes a major governmental action that has the potential to cause significant environmental effects, we conclude that MN Environmental Protection Agency (MEPA) requires an environmental impact statement to be completed before a final decision is made to grant or deny a certificate of need. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for respondent Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) to reconsider whether to issue a certificate of need after an environmental impact statement has been completed."

Our Own, Sue Arnold Checks-In
as She Walks Her Pilgrimage
Her text to Ellen follows.
(Ellen embedded thoughts and questions and I edited a bit to make it smooth.)
Hi Ellen I have written to your phone a couple times but not sure you are getting it. [She must be really tired because she knows I don't text, email, twitter, pee, or burp from my phone!]
Wanted to contact you before Friday's movie. [How did she find out about Friday's movie? We planned it after she left.]
First, I so appreciate it will be showing. (The movie night was last week; sorry I couldn't get Susan's text into the newsletter prior to the showing.)
Like the movie I started in France at Jean pied de Port. Day 1 was my life's biggest physical challenge. It pushed me beyond all my possible limits but we did it. It was so beautiful. I wish I had been able to appreciate the spectacular beauty.
Each day we have challenged ourselves to get just a little further. We arrive completely spent. We take a shower, short nap and are revived.
The customs are opposite of our needs. We get up and on the road by 6 but here they don't usually get breakfast going til 1 (really meaning 11?) We are starved by 4 but dinner is not served til 7 or 8. My diet is so hard. Everything revolves around bread. Doing the best I can.
Finished day 23, 10 more to walk then after (my friend) leaves. So (I will) have 1 week alone. Yikes yet an(other) adventure. Much phone trouble. Using (my friend's). She is on Facebook with pics [if you] can access it. The accommodations
are pretty basic. No privacy.
Enjoy the movie.
I am thinking of all of you.
Love you. S
