MINISTER’S MESSAGE
On the Wings of Love

“When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it is bottomless, that it does not have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness there is, as well as how much space. ~~ Pema Chodron

How lovely it is to dwell on messages of love this month. The philosophy of Science of Mind® leads with Love. Each week we will shine the light on the unique aspects of Love and its transformative power. Embracing old ideas and welcoming new insights has great power in renewing and uplifting our relationship with ourselves and others. When we contemplate Love and embrace our revelations, it leads us towards responding with love. We need the space to sit with love as it branches into compassion, empathy, forgiveness, and thoughtfulness laced with kindness. We recognize that we are all grounded in love.

Rev. Lynn and Rev. Lewanna are the keynote speakers for two of the Sunday messages in August. Charlie and I will be traveling north to the CSL conference in Banff, Canada. On August 17, Rev. Lewanna is also offering a special sharing of her powerful testimony in the miracles she has witnessed using the Power of Intention in prayer work right after the service. She is passionate about the power of prayer and ready to share with us all.

It is also back to school season. We are offering some great classes in the Fall so browse the Newsletter carefully to find what speaks to you to support your spiritual journey.

Summer is here. Take care of yourselves in the heat and enjoy the guiltfree naps and just being lazy if you want. Things eventually get done! Summer is a time to let go, and relax more. Have you?

With love,

Rev. Sue MillerBorn

Our Children’s Program is looking for dedicated teachers to be in service once a month to help shape the spiritual understanding of these beautiful faces of God. Bonnie Lantiegne, our dedicated Children’s Church Director, has asked several times over the summer for volunteers to step forth and be a part of this rewarding leg of ministry to children. So far, no one has answered the call. We would be so grateful for a couple of people willing to commit to one Sunday a month in service to the children. In gratitude for your commitment, we offer you a scholarship to one certificated Science of Mind® class as you deepen your own spiritual understanding.

GROUP INTENTION AS A SPIRITUAL TOOL

An Interactive Workshop (Always Free)

With Rev. Lewanna Godinez
Sunday, August 17, 2025

11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary

 

You are invited to a unique and transformative experience.

 

We often think of intentions as simply setting goals - something we decide with our minds and hope to accomplish in the future. But what if intention goes much deeper than that? What if it is a powerful spiritual tool - one that taps into our innate ability to influence reality with our minds? This extraordinary gift is something we are all born with. It is already within us - we just need to learn how to unlock it. Please come with your intention already in mind. Intentions can be for healing (of any kind), for any person, place, or situation. Together, we will:

· Harness the power of group-focused intention to support and heal ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

· Be guided in an opening meditation so our heart, brain, and nervous system operate in sync, bringing us into a       coherent state of Oneness.

· Experience the power of altruism: focusing our intentions on others brings powerful healing back into our own life.

· Learn how to set our intention(s) with clarity of mind and amplify them through the energy of the heart.

· Explore some of the thousands of documented, real-world examples of how intention has been used to create healing, transformation, and miraculous outcomes.  

 

The power of intention has always been within you. If you’re ready to tap into it, this workshop is your invitation to begin.

The Hatha Yoga predominantly practiced in the West consists of mostly asanas understood as physical exercises (postures). It is also recognized as a stress-reducing practice that attempts to balance body and mind. Asanas teach poise, balance, and strength, and are practiced to improve the body’s physical health, and to clear the mind in preparation for meditation. We will continue our usual schedule every Monday and Wednesday as we reenter a routine for our wellbeing. Zoom option will still be available. Please feel free to contact Rev. Sue MillerBorn at shantiananda@hotmail.com with any questions.

We will be diving into the Sacred Feminine through the work of Jean-Yves Leloup using his book, The Gospel of Mary Magdalene in this 6-week class. Rich in the telling of the story, this book highlights some important missing links to truly understanding the teachings of Jesus and his unique relationship with Miriam (Mary). Class discussion promises to bring great insights into these profound teachings and ignite our hearts in understanding more about their relationship in life and also tap into our appreciation for the Christ Spirit after Jesus’s death. What a joy to stretch our understanding into the  mystical realm of a higher knowing.

Heart Coherence is a state of cooperative alignment between the heart, mind, emotions, and physical systems. Learning to activate qualities of the heart such as care, kindness, and acceptance increases our Personal Coherence. This results in less mental and emotional pressure, more effective choices, and increased resilience. Because our personal coherence is communicated through our energetic field, it has an uplifting impact on others. This class will provide you with an understanding of the science and practice of getting in sync, provide strategies for de-stressing, and help you create a coherent baseline for your own  personal effectiveness.

AWAKENING TO ONENESS WITH LIFE MEDITATION
With Jill Matthews
Second and Fourth Thursdays of Each Month
(except on holidays)
6:30 to 8:00 p.m. in the Meditation Pavilion
Suggested $10 Donation per Person

Join me as we awaken more deeply to life by learning and practicing meditation and mindfulness techniques. Open to vibrant presence as we release what no longer serves us, embrace the present moment through the breath, and raise our vibration by inviting gratitude and love more fully into our lives. The teachings I share are based upon the education I received during a two-year meditation and mindfulness certification training led by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. These concepts and practices also come from several years of mediation with a local monk, from a broad variety of books, and from an array of spiritual leaders. I believe there is something meaningful and significant to learn from each experience in life and from opening to a variety of methods and belief systems. My desire is to share my enthusiasm for meditation, and for deepening a connection to All. Some of my goals for this group are that together we will create a sense of deep connection and community. That our meditation group will be a place where each participant will feel safe and accepted. Where there is no one right way, and where kindness and openness are always present. We will learn various tools that can assist in living with more peace and presence in our lives. Some topic examples are:

Dealing with difficult emotions
Accessing your Higher Self
Softening around stress
Present Moment Living
Confronting Fear
Finding answers
Mental Clarity
Grounding
Gratitude

We will use the book, Old Friend from Far Away, by Natalie Goldberg for the journey of kick starting the process of writing your memoir. I’ve been reading Natalie’s books on writing for years and this one is exceptional. Here are some thoughts from her introductory pages:

“A memoir is not a chronological pronouncement of the facts of your life. It doesn’t cling to an orderly procession of time and dates. Rather, it encompasses the moment…the moment that mattered.”

“A memoir is structured on the meandering way we remember. It’s an examination of the zigzag nature of how our mind works. For instance, just the thought of Cheerios ricochets back to a broken fence in our backyard one spring morning, then hops over to the first time we stood before a mountain and understood kindness. A smell, a taste―and a whole world flares up. What does our time on this earth add up to?”

Now can you see why this is class is so special?! Natalie recommends an easy-to-write-in notebook and a pen that enables you to write fast. BEFORE EACH CLASS: There are readings and short exercises to complete before each class, including the first class. During class, we will voluntarily share what we’ve written and learn from each other, but keeping personal writings to yourself is respected. During class, we’ll also do some short, five-minute writings that sheE recommends and occasionally she has a test for us as we progress. Questions? Call or email Mary at (530) 347-0996 or revmary49@gmail.com.

Thursdays Each Week
(except on holidays)
9:00 to 10:00 a.m. in the Meditation Pavilion
Donations Gratefully Accepted

Please Note: This used to be called Reality Retreat Meditation. In Sanatana Dharma, the ideal is always to be one with consciousness. The journey and purpose of life is to realize this ideal, through inner transformation, which is only possible through spiritual awareness. Our Master, His Holiness Sri Muralidhara Swamiji says, “Joy and sorrow are the only two known states of mind, as far as man is concerned. Divinity is to get past this dual state and be in a constant state of bliss”. Reality Retreat Meditation is one where we aim to retreat back to Reality (consciousness) through the constant repetition of the Divine Mahamantra – the sound from the Happiness plane. The unique changing pattern of the Mahamantra (Greatest Mantra), 6-3-2 cycle, naturally takes our vision inward. Constant and dedicated repetition guarantees mental strength, proven to lead to happiness. This meditation strives to inspire all in the path of inner excellence, and to realize that our happiness is in our control. It helps to improve attention, relieve stress, bring positivity, and face challenges with poise. Contact Nithya at (530) 355-8384 with questions.
