This Week’s Science of Mind Theme
Celebrating the Triumphant Journey
Our journey has brought growth, expansion, evolution and new understanding. In times of darkness and in light, we can still anchor in our unity with Spirit by practicing gratitude. Gratitude is powerful. We feel and know that our journey is a continuum. Gratitude cultivates faith, and faith aligns us in knowing that “This, too, is God. This, too, is good.”
It is important to celebrate! We celebrate the activity and presence of God in and through all life. We celebrate our connection with and as the Divine. We revel in the harvest of life, wholeness, and love. We laugh, we honour, we dance with Spirit, because we know and remember that we are One! Oneness reminds us that we are unique, individualized manifestations of God. We are Love, Power, Peace and Joy!
With gratitude and joy as our compass, we now choose to gracefully navigate the flow of life. We have lived seasons of possibility and purpose. Once again, we are ready to listen for the whisper of the Infinite Invisible. It calls from within and we heed Its song. Divine discontent has become a loving guide. With a new faith in our innate gifts and divine identities, we turn and face the sun. From the hint of new dreams, beauty’s emergence, the fullness of harvest, and ongoing transition, we embrace the perfect imperfection of it all.
Special Meeting December 5, 2021
On December 5th at 1pm, we are having a very rare (first time in over 28 years) Special Meeting of our official membership to vote in a brand new beautiful set of bylaws for our Centre for Spiritual Living Kelowna. (Your RSVP from the original meeting date isn’t carried over, so please RSVP for the new December 5th date.)
We require a quorum for this meeting. If you’re a signed-up 2021 member, please attend. If not, there’s still time to sign up as a 2021 CSLK member by December 4th so that your vote can be counted!
Visioning Session #2
Right after our Special Meeting, we will meet on Zoom at 2pm on December 5th for our Visioning Session #2. This is an opportunity to envision Spirit’s highest vision for our community.
Visioning is a process developed by Michael Beckwith to create a realization of our greater yet to be. It’s not visualization; it’s a process to assist us in getting in touch with what’s alive at the higher levels of our spiritual potential. All are welcome!
Celebration of Light… Lite!
Join us on December 19th at 10:30am for our special holiday season service, Celebration of Light… Lite! This will be an in-person service at the Kelowna Innovation Centre and we will be livestreaming as usual. Please RSVP on the Celebration of Light… Lite! event page on our website to reserve your seat at the theatre.
Foundations for Joy, Peace and Harmony
How do we live with joy, peace and harmony in a topsy-turvy world? Our upcoming course, Foundations of the Science of Mind, is a 10-week journey of self-discovery and reflection in a supportive group setting.
