“Accounting for What?”
Reverend Tanya Wyldflower notes: Our new theme for the month is Accountability. We approach this idea not as an obligation to be done because we are pressured to conform but as a sacred honor deeply needed by the All That Is ~ needed to meet the existential risks we are all facing today. The real question is ~ What is Yours to do? ❤️
“Perfect Moment, Perfect Day”
For a month we have been exploring thriving. So are you thriving now? What makes that so, or not? What do I need to do or who do I need to be to have a thriving life and to keep it thriving? ❤️
“New Thoughts on Thriving”
Would you like to receive the key to Thriving? Retired Licensed Practitioner, George D’Amato will present the irrefutable links between New Thought philosophy and thriving. If you would like the key - he will show you the link! ❤️
“NO Foe”
Practitioner Graduate Sylvia Gilmour’s talk is titled, “NO Foe”, and she comments: “What would it be like to live life knowing there is nothing and no one against us? What if we totally trusted that we are not on our own, that a greater power is always with us to give guidance and support?
Theoretical physicist Max Planck says: "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Let’s explore choosing to live life with no foe, allowing us to move from simply surviving to truly thriving.” ❤️
“What Helps Us Thrive?”
Reverend Tanya Wyldflower explores the concept of Thriving, knowing that we all have the same needs but how we access or express our unique being will be different for each person.” ❤️
“What makes for a thriving life?”
Reverend Ruth Barnhart inquires, “What makes for a thriving life? What are you wanting/needing in order to experience more fulfillment? Or maybe you could ask, what’s in the way? Discovering the truth that it is all in your mind.” ❤️
“Dancing From Darkness to Daylight”
The BAGMEN will present a spiritual, musical methodology on how to move past the physical and mental “gut-punch” so many of us experienced in 2020
and emerge feeling uplifted and renewed. The BAGMEN, aka Gary Michael Weinberg and Robert Greene, are no strangers to Mendocino Center for Spiritual Living. As in their other Sunday Service and Concert performances—THE HERO’S JOURNEY and 7 STEPS TO BEING A LIGHTWORKER—Weinberg and Greene will take the audience on a rockin’ ride, with some new songs and some familiar ones, all of it tied together by actor, writer and teacher Melanie Smith. ❤️
“Using Free Will”
Reverend Tanya Wyldflower comments, “Dr. Holmes states:Real freedom means that humanity is created in the image of perfection and let alone and allowed to make the discovery for ourselves. Freedom of will means the ability to do, say and think as one wishes; to express life as one personally desires. We are bound by our very freedom; our free will binds us. The very force that makes us sick can heal us.
We see, too, that freedom means liberty but not license.”
Let’s take a deep dive into what exactly is free will? ❤️
“Free Will Equals Freedom”
Caroline Cathey comments, “Free Will equals Freedom, the greatest Divine gift we receive other than unconditional love. Without the power to choose we would be merely puppets, but God entrusted us with free will so that we may explore and learn and experience the joy of our own creations. How do we use that spiritual power tool? Do we too often turn our power over to others? If so, why?” ❤️
“Who or What is Steering Your Ship?”
Reverend Ruth comments, “We are people who love to be ahead, to win, to know victory. We speak of empowerment, feeling powerful. But what are we truly seeking and what takes us there? What if what we think we are ~ is what is in the way? How do we actually become powerful?” ❤️
“Our Sacred Powers”
Reverend Tanya comments, “First I would like to wish all the men have been in a Fathering Role ~ Happy Father’s Day! And thank you for using your wisdom and power to make the world a more loving and safe experience for all you have come in contact with. You are appreciated. In this talk, we will look at the power we all have, when connected to Divine Wisdom, to move us all forward towards creating a world that works for everyone. ❤️
“What is Sacred Power- Mirage? or Reality?”
Carolyne Cathey asks, “What is Sacred Power? Mirage? Or Reality? We witness millions of people searching for empowerment from the tangible. Rejecting the intangible, they seek something they can see, touch and feel, baubles that dazzle their eyes and lure them to desire more. We experience that lust for ‘things’ and power in all levels, all ages, within every organization, including church, and often, within ourselves, but with no lasting satisfaction. Some speak of a Sacred Power that truly fulfills us. What is the difference? How do we embrace it?” ❤️
“What is Sacred Power?”
This month’s new theme is “Sacred Power” and Reverend Tanya Wyldflower will explore how Science of Mind utilizes Spiritual Power. Dr. Holmes defines it this way: There is a Power greater than we are, and everything that is visible is hitched to It -- an invisible Pattern, a Divine Pattern. All things come forth from It, and all things return again to It; and we are in It, and It responds directly to us personally at the level of our conviction that It is responding. ❤️
“Honoring the Shadow Within”
Join Licensed Spiritual Practitioner Jade Aldrich as she creates a safe space for us to lean into the darker shadow places within, and honor the message within judgement, resistance, pain and fear.
As balanced human beings it is important we don’t pretend to be only “all love & light”, as it often leads to repression of our shadow and dis-ease from lack of honoring all of ourselves. When we we have courage to explore the “other” parts of self who, when given the true honor of our full attention, organically dissolve into light. In this way, we heal deeply as we choose to honor the total wholeness of our being, not only what we deem worthy of love and attention. ” ❤️
“To Honor And Obey”
Reverend Ruth comments, “To Honor and Obey” - These two words, heard at weddings, but also spoken by great spiritual teachers, elicit varying responses. In our love of independence, they are often cast off as old fashioned and contrary to our modern stance as individuals. But to what are the masters pointing when they speak of the need of our humility and obedience? Let us explore what we give our allegiance to and the value it offers in our lives.” ❤️
“I Honor I Am”
Sylvia comments, “The meaning of my title is twofold: it’s about honoring I AM, another name for God, and about honoring the power of the words I Am, especially paying attention to what comes after them. With this topic in mind, we’ll enjoy a spiritual practice journey and some poetry to guide and support us to fully being who we truly are.”
“Honoring the ONE”
Happy Mother’s Day to everyone. Today we have a musical Sunday celebrating and honoring the Divine Feminine of the Father/Mother God within each of us. This is the quality of God that gives of Itself, nurtures life and hold everything together in pure unconditional Love. Come tap into that energy this Sunday! ❤️
“Honoring the Whole”
Our new theme for the month of May is “Honor”. Once again, a powerful concept that helps us to consider in depth who we are as a spiritual being. What we honor, we support and protect, even revere. The dictionary defines it as a state of being whole, undivided and in integrity. What you honor, defines who you think you are and how you take action in the world. What you honor is what you truly respect.
So- what do you honor in life and how do you show it? ❤️
“The Secret of Reconciliation”
Carolyne Cathey says that healing the rift occurs on many levels, from personal, family and friends, to the world community. She asks, “What is the secret to a true reconciliation on all levels?” ❤️
“RECONCILING TRUTH WITH REALITY”
Ron Nadeau comments, “How does one reconcile truth in a reality of contrast and contradiction? This talk is about the experience of healing and finding balance within predisposed personal mindsets of consensus realities ~ moving from perturbability to imperturbability.” ❤️
