We have a big Sunday planned to celebrate the 53rd Anniversary Earth Day Celebration. It begins with our guest speaker Rivera Sun. If you Google Rivera you will read that she is a change-maker, a cultural creative, a protest novelist and an advocate for nonviolence and social justice. She is just the person you want to hear from when it comes to the environment. This is not her first time with us, and we are excited to welcome her back. She and Mari, our Youth Education Director have been working together on a project for the last few months. Rivera’s…

I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter. I felt the energy in our service on Sunday was truly alive and that you experienced your own resurrection.

Hello, Dear Ones! Happy Spring… I am back from my staycation, and it was wonderful, and, like all vacations, not long enough. I plan to remedy this in the future. A shout out to Nancy Sawyer for being Fred Brancato’s support angel and to Kim Cowperthwaite for masterfully keeping the service moving. I have been reading Fred’s book Mystery and Manifestation; however, hearing him speak about it and read from it was priceless. I feel the message is so aligned with what we as a collective are invited into being aware of… those luminous moments. Fred and the book emphasize experiencing…
