Our sincere thanks to Pam Desjardine and the Pagan Community for the beautiful and engaging presentation on Pagan traditions at our most recent Okanagan Multi-Faith gathering. The morning session was very well attended and offered fascinating insights into one of humanity’s oldest Spiritual paths. Pam opened the session with a lovely Spiritual Mind Treatment, setting a tone of prayerful presence for our time together. Participants learned how diverse Pagan traditions often in

Dear Ones, As we reflect on what’s happening in the world, can we have the courage to shift our perspective? As Rev. Dr. David Ault reminds us “Everywhere I look, I see what I’m looking for. If I’m scanning the world for proof that everything is broken, I’ll find it instantly. If I’m looking for outrage, there it is. If I’m looking for fear, it’s everywhere. But if the only thing I choose to look for is God - or love, or harmony, or intelligence, or care - then that is what b

Dear Beloved Community, We invite you to join us for our Annual General Meeting —a sacred time in the life of our spiritual community when we come together in shared leadership, transparency, visioning, and accountability. Date: Sunday, March 22, 2026 Time: Immediately following Sunday Service Location: Centre for Spiritual Living Kelowna, Kelowna Arts Academy, 1180 Houghton Road, Kelowna, BC Our AGM is more than a business meeting—it is a spiritual gathering grounded in

We hold the community of Tumbler Ridge in our hearts following the tragic shooting on February 10. In moments like these, words feel small, yet our collective care is vast. We extend our deepest prayers and heartfelt love to the victims, their families, first responders, and all whose lives have been shaken by this violence. May we surround this grieving community with compassion, tenderness, and unwavering support. And may we each recommit ourselves to being instruments of

Believe me when I say I wish I could offer you something like an instant parting of the clouds, a single sentence or practice that would return you immediately to peace. Something simple and universal. A one-size-fits-all path back to center. But the truth is, being human doesn’t work that way. There isn’t one doorway that fits everyone. There isn’t one instruction that lands the same for every nervous system, every history, every heart. And I don’t want to add more noise to

I shall keep the promise that I made to myself. I shall never again tell myself that I am poor, sick, weak nor unhappy. I shall not lie to myself anymore, but shall daily speak the truth to my inner Soul, telling It that It is wonderful and marvelous; that It is One with the Great Cause of all Life, Truth, Power and Action. I shall whisper these things into my Soul until it breaks forth into songs of joy with the realization of Its limitless possibilities. I shall assure my

Perspectives… So many, so different, so divisive, each person certain theirs alone is true. Nature spoke to me today - It’s perspective vast and generous, seeing beauty in all forms, making room for all. The mountains reminded me: stand tall, be strong, hold your dignity. The clouds - white, dark and all the shades between - met one another without resistance, as if shaking hands across the sky. The wind, at times a gentle breeze, at times carrying great strength, whisper

As we step into a brand-new year, we invite you to imagine what’s possible—for your life, your relationships, and our wider community—when spiritual practice becomes lived experience. What is Spiritual Living? At the Centre for Spiritual Living Kelowna, we teach and practice a simple, powerful truth: there is a creative intelligence, an infinite wisdom, available to everyone—right here, right now. This wisdom can be consciously engaged to create a healthier, happier, more mea

Our Beloved Volunteers are the foundational hearts and hands of our Beloved Community! On December 4th, we gathered in a beautifully festive Christmas setting to honour the volunteers who create the sacred container for our Centre every Sunday. Volunteering in our Beloved Community is an evolutionary Spiritual practice; it’s about so much more than the tasks at hand. It isn’t just what they do—it’s the love, intention, and grace in how they do it that creates the beautiful at

There’s something beautiful happening at the Centre for Spiritual Living Kelowna—and many of you are already feeling it. For generations, spiritual communities, including ours, were shaped around one central leader. The minister carried the vision, the care, the authority, and often the emotional and spiritual weight of the whole community. That model served an important purpose for its time. But the world has changed. Across countless congregations, one pattern appeared
