11-3-19 Weekly Gathering: “Awakening through the Storm”

 

Weekly Gathering with Rev. Gloria Wells

Description: Rev. Gloria Wells shared about a personal experience where she had a direct experience of the truth that she is not her thoughts. She also shared how awakening may not always look beautiful, joyous, and full of bliss. Sometimes Awakening can look like Suzanne’s experience and that experience may not look so pretty on the surface. At first, with Suzanne’s awakening experience, she thought she was losing her mind.  When we can recognize that this may be how awakening can show up, this is an opportunity to have faith and trust that awakening is happening no matter what the surface shows up as.

Topic: “If Not Awaring, Daydream”

Weekly Gathering with Dawn Fernandez, Licensed Minister

Title: “Healing Self-Doubt”

Listen to this audio

 

Weekly Gathering with Rev. Jay McCormick

Topic: Living Life as a River.

Description:  Life always presents situations that are not predictable, and seem to be directly placed in the path of the flow of our life.  We have a choice to continue the continuity of our peace, moving in the new direction presented, or hold on to our past expectations and experience turbulence.  We can learn to move like water throughout life, easily around all the rocks in the path of life.  It is our choice if we want to see a block or just be in the moment and experience peace.
