Simply Sitting in Silence on Tuesdays.  We have all  knowledge within. When we are silent we can tap into this knowledge directly.  No need for a leader…you are your leader.  Cathy Nason, Breezy Cross, and Hope Ortman will practice with you. We begin by ringing the bell, saying our names and sharing (if you need guidance or just want to express gratitude). We sit in silence for 30 minutes, and end with Hugging Meditation.

Cathy Nason has been practicing meditation for 15 years and has been doing inquiry for two years.  If you have a problem that is keeping you from your peace, Cathy will make herself available to you by appointment, at no charge . A helpful website before you sit, especially if its the first time, is www.zmeditation.com

A COURSE IN MIRACLES
TUESDAYS FROM 6:30-8:00 P.M. with Richard Mallett
Click here for the 2009 Reading Schedule

A COURSE IN MIRACLES is a self-study course consisting of three volumes - a Text, a Workbook For Students, and a Manual For Teachers. The teaching of the Course strikes at the heart of the basic human condition, which it characterizes as one of conflict, suffering and despair, fearful isolation from God, others, and even ourselves. The Course aims at the healing of this condition by affecting a profound change in our basic outlook. Its tool is the healing of human relationships, which it accomplishes by transforming our perception of others to seeing them as fundamentally good and holy. This opens the way for love, which replaces the fear and separateness, and which the Course describes as our natural inheritance. Since its publication in 1976, the Course has gained immense popularity and acclaim. An increasing number of people from varying traditions, cultures, and walks of life have found a home in it.

This course is a year-long spiritual journey, with one meeting each week, following a carefully planned workbook. The goal of the program is to change the perception that we are separated from our Source, to the truth of our unity with our Higher Power. As we learn to forgive and release judgments of our selves and others, we gain God's peace, and well-being, and bring these qualities into our homes and communities.
This is an on-going course and you can join the group any time.

You can be Happy No Matter What -
Well-being in Times of Uncertainty
Wednesday evening 6:00pm-7:30pm. Check Calendar for exact dates.

The instructors are Debora McDermed, PhD and Laurie Martin.  The first four sessions reveal the THREE Gifts (principles) that create all of our life’s experiences. These principles were first taught by Sydney Banks and reveal to us the innate wisdom and happiness that we all possess prior to our life experience. The principles of divine thought, consciousness, and Mind allow us to integrate the secular with the spiritual and give us simple common sense on how to be happy no matter what. 

Part 2: Having uncovered the 3 Gifts of Creating Our Experience and Finding Happiness – how do we apply that to the 5 domains of life?? They are wealth, health, relationships, work and spirituality.  If you missed the first series – don’t worry we will review the 3 Gifts as Principles and begin to answer the questions of HOW to work with them with ease and design the lives we all hope for. If you were with us for part 1 – please return for the how- how to work with feelings – how to work with stuck thoughts and how to be HAPPY NO MATTER WHAT!

Series 2 begins on November  5 (Thursday nights) then November 12 (a break for the holiday ) and returns on December 3 and 10!  Don’t miss how to prepare for this holiday season and the new year with true inner joy!

The final 4 sessions will continue in January of 2010. Click here for more details and Click here for a full Workshop Outline

FUNDAMENTALS of ASCENSION and SELF-MASTERY
Wednesday 6:30 - 8:30pm

Wednesday Night Ascension Class with Christian Steele. This is an informal discussion group which is open to the public. We discussed various topics centered around the ascension process and self-mastery. We also make time for meditation. By bringing understanding and insight into the various aspects of our being we rid ourselves of the limitations that restrict our lives. We recognize that everyone has gifts, and a group setting is a powerful place to share them. The goal is to uplift consciousness so that we may transform our life. Starting January 14th, 2010 a new 12 week series will begin. Every Thursday evening from 6:30-8:00pm. See Flyer for more details.

Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, shows how woman's vitality can be restored through what she calls "psychic archeological digs" into the ruins of the female unconscious. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes used multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories that help women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype.

The above was taken from the forward and introduction of Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.

Sandy Wiederkehr will be will be holding this 16 week workshop series. Each week we will read and discuss a chapter's story, and ensuing Jungian insight, which will provide understanding to sharpen our sight so we can find the true path left by our wildish nature to our authentic selves.  These stories reach us at an unconscious level and can affirm our inner core self and remind us that we are valuable, creative, important. Using the power of a supportive, loving group of sisters, belly laughs, tears of truth, art and poetry we can learn to hear and trust our own intuition and regain personal power, creativity and healthy boundaries.This book has inspired so many to live lives of consciousness, love, integrity, truth and soulfulness.

Women join us for our inner adventure!

Call For Goodness Sake for details and don't miss out on the healing, inspiration and love that this group has to offer! See Flyer.
