Join us at 10:15am ET / 7:15am PST for our Weekly Gathering with Rev. Rebecca Gibson

Her topic will be: “Away With Words”.

Description: Silence is the antidote to our dependency upon the most common device for separation that the ego has – – words.  It is through the setting aside of words and dropping into the silence of the heart that one becomes more attuned to and aligned with the voice of God. 

Join us at 8:00 pm ET / 5:00 pm PT for our Movie Watchers Group

This month’s movie is Café de Flore. A love story about people separated by time and place but connected in profound and mysterious ways. Atmospheric, fantastical, tragic and hopeful, the film chronicles the parallel fates of Jacqueline, a young mother with a disabled son in 1960s Paris, and Antoine, a recently divorced, successful DJ in present day Montreal. What binds the two stories together is love – euphoric, obsessive, tragic, youthful, timeless love.

The movie is available on Amazon and Youtube or on DVD Netflix plan (not streaming).  Watch the movie with Spirit, then come and share your insights with the group.

This class is 4 weeks long.

The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese spiritual classic. According to tradition, it was written around 6th century BCE by Chinese sage and governmental record-keeper, Lao Tzu.

Tao means “the way.” Te means “virtue” or “inner strength.” Ching means “great book” or “classic.” So, we can translate Tao Te Ching as “The Great Book of the Way’s Virtue.” However, “virtue” in this context does not refer to virtue as humans typically understand it. In fact, if humans really understood, embraced and lived the virtue of the Tao, appearances like conflict and lack would be impossible.

In this class you will:

1. The participant will become familiar with the classic Chinese work, Tao Te Ching.

2. The participant will contemplate chapters from Tao Te Ching and realize effective leadership.

Class Schedule:

~ On Thursday evenings, September 28 – October 19, 2017 from 7:30pm-9:30pm ET (4:30pm-6:30pm Pacific). Homework begins September 22. Facilitator: Rev. Jay McCormick.

Specific Information:
Cost is $80.
Textbook needed is Tao Te Ching by Stephen Mitchell.
Class is offered in PalTalk. Familiarity with PalTalk is helpful.
Registration closes on September 20.

Let’s go to Israel!

I am very happy to report that the cost of the Israel 5-day extension trip has gone down. I asked for this reduction in price from our Israeli tour company, but it wasn’t approved prior to the Member Meeting on Sunday. However, on Monday I got an email and the price reduction is approved!

Nothing else has changed. It is still the same great 5-day itinerary with 4 and 5 star hotels. The only difference is the price is a little lower than it was before.

Trip Prices

7-day Pilgrimage, October 20 – 27:
$1698 per person shared room
$2475 per person single room

5-day Optional Extension Trip
October 28-Nov 1, New prices:
$1740 per person shared room ($155 less than announced)
$2298 per person sing room ($327 less than announced)

Our Prices Compared to Globus Travel

Globus is one of America’s leading travel agencies. The first time I went to Israel, I traveled with Globus. However, since then I have coordinated directly with Vered Hasharon Travel Agency in Israel to design pilgrimages specifically for us at lower rates. Look at the difference in price for travel itineraries that are nearly the same:

Our Pilgrimage Price: $1698 per person, shared room
Globus for a Comparable Trip: $2573 per person, shared room

Our Pilgrimage + Extension Total Price: $3438 per person, shared room
Globus for a Comparable Trip: $3838 per person, shared room
