05-12-24 Weekly Gathering, “Giving The Gap to God” with Rev. Anne Blanchard
Title: “Giving The Gap to God”
Description: One of the most powerful tools we are given when we are called to discern one truth, that is, to live this life centered in the one True Self, is trust. So what would it be like to live with total trust, with a faith so immediate and certain that everything is seen as a Divine unfolding, every moment as a holy instant in which our only desire is to allow God to have its way with us, to show us the way, to orchestrate it all? Join Rev Anne Blanchard as she shares her journey to consistently “up her trust”, to allow the Presence of Divinity to handle all things in this life.

04-28-24 Weekly Gathering, “It’s Right Here!” with Rev. Rhoda Makled
Title: “It’s Right Here!”
Description: No matter how much confusion there is, let’s be clear IT… is right here. What is the “it”? Well, the short answer is “everything.” Over the past many years, I’ve been discovering how every idea I have about the world isn’t true. There are so many assumptions placed on reality in the form of “I know.” Everything I think I know is completely false when I look directly at it. Whether “it” is a feeling, an idea, or an experience, “it” is never somewhere else. So, all this time language has been used to compound this illusion and can only fail to describe what is…wait what?!? I love the way Byron Katie describes it. Together we will explore the confusion of illusion and the reality that is always what IT is, using Bryon Katie’s description of how “Everything Happens for You, Not to You”.
Reading: Sami Ross read an excerpt from “A Mind At Home With Itself” by Bryon Katie with Stephen Mitchell, Ch. 16, “Everything Happens For You, Not To You”.

Description: All the masters have said it. I’ll give you the answer right away: To deepen into your highest clarity, abide in openness, in silence; In inquiry, surrender, contemplation, or meditation. Whatever path you choose, at some point going up the mountain, it all turns to silence. We work on 5 pragmatic steps we can take to abide in our highest clarity, whatever that clarity is in the moment. The result of these steps is an abidance in our innate openness.
