Program Description—The time of the Equinox reminds us of the importance of balance and equilibrium in all aspects of our life.   We will discuss the challenges of balancing our energies in the four quadrants of body, mind, heart and spirit and in the coming together of our masculine and feminine energies into a sacred marriage of two equally important aspects of our nature.

Spirituality & Elder Care

Spirit Gathering Teleconference

Free & Open to the Public

Led by Rev. Judy Myers of Algonac, Michigan

Program Description—In this call we will explore the ‘Baby Boomer’/Sandwich generation's joys and challenges of aging parents, focusing on how to maintain the delicate balance necessary to honor the spirituality of self and the loved ones for whom we care. ‘Caring’ can range from ‘witnessing the aging process’ to ‘being actively involved in physical care’ to ‘helping in and witnessing the transition out of body.’ Each of us will be called to be present for our Elders, as we ourselves are aging. What does ‘spirituality’ in these situations mean to you? How can we help our growing population of Elders keep their spirituality alive, while living, and into their ‘end time’?

Being a Healing Presence

Spirit Gathering Teleconference

Free & Open to the Public

Led by Rev. Beverly Dillon of Grand Rapids, Michigan

Program Description—As we come to the time of the summer solstice, the time of greatest light, we often think of awakening, love, and healing.  While many people are trained to be helpers, we all can learn to be a healing presence in the world.  Please join our dialogue about how a compassionate and undefended relationship with our own humanity not only supports our own healing and awakening, but also creates an environment of healing for those around us.

Gracious Receiving

Spirit Gathering Teleconference

Free & Open to the Public

Led by Rev. Dr. Myron McClellan of Englewood, Colorado

Program Description—When someone thanks you, or offers you a compliment, what do you say?  How do you feel inside? Sometimes we skip over that moment, or push away what is offered.  We may open to receive compliments, thanks, and blessings only when we think that we ‘deserve’ it—that we are good, or belong to the right group, or follow the right rules, etc.  In deflecting this way, we are cutting ourselves off from each other, our selves, and the Eternal.  We can realize in our deepest hearts that the Godhead wants to give to us unconditionally—wants to give us gifts of grace, guidance, protection, wisdom, and unimaginable love—both directly, and through the channel of other people and even through our selves. This healing realization touches the root of our constriction and helps us open to graciously receive bountiful goodness. Together we will open our arms to what is offered to us, and reflect upon what the Divine truly wants to receive from us.

Embracing the Darkness Within

Spirit Gathering Teleconference

Free & Open to the Public

Led by Rev. Laura Wolfe of Ore Cit, Texas, Director of the Ti Ospaye Center

Program Description—The Autumn Equinox is the moment when day (light) and night (dark) are equal and balance is created between these two forces. It is the time of the year where we begin our transition into darkness. Also on the first day of the fall solstice, the sun moves into the constellation of Libra, represented by the scales of balance. In this call we’ll explore the power of achieving balance and discuss tools that can be used in the months to come as we move into and discover the darkness within ourselves. We will also ponder the wonderful gifts we receive from the Creator, as many traditional cultures celebrate the autumn Harvest Moon as a feast of thanksgiving.
