THE GRACE OF AGING SAGE WORKSHOP
“Aging and Changing”
With Rev. Sue MillerBorn
Friday, February 21, 2025
9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Social Hall
$20.00 per Person

Join Rev. Sue to gather in conversations about “being” who we are! Over the last couple of years, we have spent time in discussions on how we got “old” and how we feel about certain aspects of that … being invisible, body image and body pains, what can we offer, who cares about us, and are we now the wise elders? As our self-awareness blossoms, we discover more about ageism as ideas that stifle our personal growth. We wake up to knowing we still champion our passions that sustain our purpose and each of us shines with great wisdom. We share the many rich insights and courage to answer the questions and dilemmas at this stage of life. Collectively, we discover what a rich and important time of life we are in.

HELP! PLEASE! OUR CHILDREN ARE CALLING TO YOU!

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. Email Bonnie with any questions at tarbon@sbcglobal.net or call her (530) 722-7304.

Traditional Hatha Yoga is an holistic Yogic path, including disciplines, postures (asana), purification procedures (shatkriya), gestures (mudra), breathing (pranayama), and meditation. 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.

Regardless of your age or what condition you are in, you can experience the health benefits of Chair Yoga. Please Note: Starting in October, in order to attend Chair Yoga, you must have received the newest Covid-19 Bivalent Booster shot.

POWER UP YOUR DECISIONS
Certificated Science of Mind® Class: Consciousness Coursework
With Rev. Dr. Mary Mitchell
Tuesdays, January 7 to February 25, 2025
1:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the Social Hall
$80 to $83 per Person by January 7; $120 to $124 per Person Thereafter + Optional $40 to $42 Class Certificate
(all depending on payment type)
Please Note: We are adding an additional 3.3% for credit card usage to offset the fees imposed upon us by our bank. Thank you.

There aren’t many people in the world who have made a greater impact on how to power-up the process of decision making than Dr. Raymond Charles Barker. An early leader in the New Thought movement, he was a student of Dr. Ernest Holmes, served as president of the Religious Science Institute, and founded the First Church of Religious Science in Manhattan. In 1968, he published his classic book, The Power of Decision, which propelled his ministry to such heights that its Sunday meetings were held at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center. Having facilitated this course at least a dozen times, I’m excited that recently a new workbook has been published that goes with the class. I guarantee it is a life-changing experience that will guide you on a journey of self-discovery that unlocks your untapped potential. The result: you will achieve better results with confidence and clarity in all aspects of life. The three main objectives of the class are:

  • Awareness of a pathway that uncovers greater ideas that reside within, enabling students to attract new and empowering adventures into their lives.

  • Gain a mastery in applying practical spiritual tools and exercises to make the best decisions about health, happiness, creativity, and overall fulfillment.

  • The power to release thoughts that no longer serve and offer a hands-on self-assessment to deepen spiritual understanding and strengthen a relationship with the Divine Nature of the Universe.

Are you ready? What a way to start the New Year!

Second and Fourth Thursdays of Each Month

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

Lent is a season of preparation for Easter, coinciding with spring, the season of new growth in nature. Beginning with Ash Wednesday, we count 40 days plus six Sundays until Easter. Easter always occurs on the first Sunday after the paschal full moon, or the first full moon after the vernal equinox. During Lent, we fast from unwanted beliefs. We feast on Truth. Metaphysically, Lent is a season of renewal and a period of reflection and release. Spiritually, we must release before we celebrate renewal - we must look at the shadow then turn to the light without flinching from either. We sweep away any thoughts that block our good before we affirm statements of Truth to guide our days. Join Rob Ward as, together, we Release and Renew, No registration required, just copy and paste link bellow in your Internet browser: https://zoom.us/j/91979659128?pwd=ejF1vwSox94sQfLDpqioL3B6VziJ9I.1.

REALITY RETREAT
Retreating Back to the Reality of Consciousness
With Nithya Ram
Thursdays Each Week
(except on holidays)
9:00 to 9:45 a.m. in the Meditation Pavilion
Donations Gratefully Accepted

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 the 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.

Widely recognized for bringing Celtic spirituality into modern dialogue, his unique insights from the ancient world speak with urgency for our need to rediscover the thresholds of the soul. With lyrical wisdom and fluency, O'Donohue encourages pathways of discovery to come home to the natural rhythm in ourselves in sacred connection with one another and the landscapes we inhabit. This timeless collection “…nourishes the heart and elevates the spirit. It is a book to read and reread forever.” (Irish Times)

A Peak into Our Resiliency!
Second Monday of Each Month
(September through June)
Monday, March 10, 2025
7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Social Hall
No Cost to Attend

Join us for a refreshing look into the concept of resiliency. What we explore is the “alchemical compound described metaphorically as three bones: a backbone, a funny bone, and a wishbone.” Looked at in a balanced way, the “magic alchemy” can get us through any problem! The material shared is from Brian Luke Seaward, PhD, in his book, Triumph of the Human Spirit. Join us and we will pick through these bones for the wisdom of the evening!

For thousands of years, humans have used dance as a spiritual practice to connect with God, with the earth, and with themselves. The beat of the drums, the rhythm of breath, the sway of the body – this is ancient medicine. Dance Church is silent disco style ecstatic dance designed to reconnect you to this practice, to move not for performance but for healing, for release, and for prayer. The music will be your guide and you shake off the weight of the world, breathe deeply, expand your awareness, and surrender to the rhythm that has always lived within you. Whether you sway with your eyes closed, stomp and spin, or simply stand with a hand on your heart, there is no wrong way – only your way. No dance experience needed. Ages 12+. Bring water, and wear clothes you can move in.
