The Key to True Belonging—Without Dividing the World

-

 


Everywhere we look, there are lines—us vs. them, right vs. wrong, belonging vs. exclusion. Society teaches us to sort, label, and separate. But what if real belonging isn’t about choosing sides? What if it’s about something deeper?

Belonging Without Othering: How We Save Ourselves and the World is an invitation to step beyond division. This book study will explore how we can recognize our shared humanity while honoring our differences. It’s about moving beyond fear, beyond judgment, and into a space where connection is possible—even in a world that often feels divided.

Together, we’ll discuss what it means to truly belong without making others “the other.” We’ll unpack the patterns that keep us stuck and explore what’s possible when we shift our perspective. You don’t have to read the book to join—just bring your curiosity, your heart, and your willingness to engage in a meaningful conversation.

This isn’t just a study. It’s a step toward something bigger. Toward healing, toward wholeness, toward a world where we see each other clearly.

Wednesdays, March 5 – March 26 • 11 am to 12:30 pm On Zoom
Cost: Love offering (Suggested $0-$40)

Join us and discover a new way to belong.

Who Am I All The Time? The Spiritual Practice of Reflection

I am passionate about "The Spiritual Practice of Reflection The Spiritual Practice of Reflection ," the two-hour workshop I will facilitate on Saturday, September 14, 2024, from 10:00 to 12:00. Through several guided explanations and exercises with mirror work, the Principle of Oneness became clear to me. Now, I practice it daily, incorporating it effortlessly yet mindfully into my routine. When I first came to The Center, I thought spiritual practices had to be formal and set aside for specific times each day. While they can be, I found this difficult. Through mirror work, I realized that I could feel and know I was one with the Divine each morning as I got ready for work. My intention for this workshop is for participants to discover that they, too, can carry out the spiritual practice of reflection as they prepare for the day. Nearly everyone has access to a mirror and uses it to finalize their appearance before leaving. What we see reflected is superficial, but this works...

How Did I Learn to Trust Life?

-

For much of my life I had a hard time trusting. I didn't have good models of what healthy trust looks like when I was growing up, and I had many experiences that taught me that it wasn't safe to trust--especially to trust that Life was for me. This led me to want to be in control of everything! My emotions, my job, my friends, my romantic relationships, it doesn't matter what it was, I wanted to control it.  The challenge with this way of being is that it's a lot of work. And it's not really effective. I learned through much trial and error that it's not actually possible, or even desirable, to always be in control.  The spiritual practice that helped me move my excessively controlling ways is visioning . When we vision, we go into a meditative state and seek to connect with that wise, loving, and knowledgable core of our being. Psychology calls this core of us the Self, with a capital "S". Spiritual traditions have called it the Christ consciousness, ...
