The Celtic feast of Samhain, the Catholic and Anglican observance of All Souls Day and the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead  converge at this time of late October/early November.  In the Celtic/pagan tradition, the veil between the physical world and the spirit world is believed to be at its thinnest. In all three traditions it is a time of remembrance of the loved ones who are no longer with us in a physical form, but remain close in spirit.  Bring a photo or token of remembrance of your loed ones to place on our ofrenda altar.

Sunday, November 16, 7pm – Gratefulness

Thanksgiving approaches! Here are some reflections from the Daily Word for November 27:
Gratitude is the song my heart sings. Practicing gratitude keeps my awareness on the many blessings in my life and opens me to receive even more.  I feel grateful for all of it—from the smallest things, like my morning coffee, the sunlight on my face, or a friendly smile, to the most important, including love of family and friends, peace in my heart, and joy in my life. 

Sunday, December 7, 7pm – Joy Adler joins us!

“When I am on stage, I use all the healing skills I’ve learned to open myself as a channel for the divine, to risk opening my heart fully. Similar to working in a private session with a client. The only difference is, there is a room full of many people, and I set my intention for the energy that passes through me and my voice to touch them in the way that they need, are open to, have longed for, and ultimately, for their greatest healing potential.” -Joy
