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.

HATHA YOGA
With Rev. Sue MillerBorn
Mondays and Wednesdays of Each Week (September through June)

$5 per Person per Evening

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.

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
