For me, the “joy” quality has become a sweet acceptance and surrender of what is (the dark as well as the light).

Meet last week's Soul Food Sunday greeters, Lori and Deborah.

If we want peace, we are asked to be peace ourselves. If we want love, we are asked to be love ourselves.

Our after-service coffee and connection time is growing!

There was a beautiful expression of the value of two key things during our time together: the importance of community and connection.

Our community enjoyed music by Tanya Lipscomb for the second week in a row! Now, Rev. Barb and Neal are back! We are blessed.

Everything we see is actually a divine reflection of our inner selves. Once we “name” what we see, we can embody it as our experience.

Our community says farewell to our founders, Drs. Deborah and Kenn Gordon, as they retire after 30 years of spiritual leadership at CSLK.

What an emotional and pivotal day as our community lovingly released Drs. Kenn and Deborah Gordon this past Sunday into their “re-wirement”.

This Sunday, January 1, Dr. Deborah Gordon, Rev. Corinne Crockett and our new interim minister, Rev. Karin Wilson, will be present.

This is my last Happy Monday blog message to you, my beloved spiritual community, the Centre for Spiritual Living Kelowna.

We wish you a very Merry Christmas and all the blessings of this holiday season!

I’m sitting here in disbelief that it’s Christmas time again, filled-up and joyful following yesterday’s masterful Celebration of Light.

When the world comes together in celebration of Light, we are all illuminated.

What a beautiful opportunity it was for Kenn and I to individually recognize and thank so many people who have meant so much to us.

With a voice, comes song. With an instrument, comes music. Yet it takes an orchestra to create a symphony.

Our ‘beyond the top’ wonderful retirement party this past weekend was testament to the love and appreciation in my heart for our community.

A richer experience of life awaits us when we enter into common-unity with those around us.

There are no words big enough, eloquent enough or clear enough to express all I am feeling about this retirement celebration weekend!

There is a deep longing within each one of us to belong. The bigger truth is that we already belong, by the simple fact that we are here.
