Ruth, here. The original newsletter that most of you have already read had the wrong information for the REIKI section. Correct info is in this version. There was also one other obvious error in the original newsletter and I am offering double hugs for anyone who names it when I see you on Sunday! | | The bylaws for Wayfarers Chapel state that we have a five-member Board of Directors who handle the day-to-day operations and make all decisions for the chapel. The Board is elected or affirmed by the "voting members". The only difference between being a "member of the heart" and a "voting member" is that voting members must provide their name and address before voting. If a Board member steps down before the end of their term, the current Board has the right to appoint a new member to complete that term. Because the Board member terms are staggered to ensure we always have some experienced members on the Board, we have an election or affirmation every year. If the number of volunteers exceeds the number of open positions, the Board makes their recommendation and the new members are determined by an election. Otherwise, we simply "affirm" the board's recommendation at the annual meeting. No election is required this year since we have one new volunteer, Charlotte Starfire, and one member stepping down, Maggie Renken. The 2025 Wayfarers Board of Directors -- Jennifer Utley, Keith Vickers, Marie Dunkle, Anne Hartupee, and Charlotte Starfire -- will be affirmed immediately following the service November 3rd at the Annual Meeting. | | You are invited for a special workshop with Kim May on October 27th from 11:30am-2pm in Rosemary’s Chapel. Join Kim as she shares her favorite tools for alignment, joy, and manifestation. You may want to bring a lunch to enjoy during the event. There is a $35 suggested donation but all are welcome. Please RSVP to kimatfc@gmail.com. More details can be found in this flyer. | FIRST-DEGREE REIKI TRAINING CLASS | REIKI is the Japanese word for Universal Life Force Energy. REIKI is a gentle, non-manipulative type of energy therapy and relaxation technique with in-depth healing abilities for the body, mind, and spirit. During the first-degree Reiki class, you will learn universal principles of healing, the history of Reiki, and how to give full body treatments to yourself and others (family, friends, animals). A Reiki master initiates you into Reiki and shares the philosophy and background about this hands-on healing. The class will be on Saturday morning November 16 and November 23. Reiki instructor, Marie Dunkle, first began practicing Reiki in 1991 and achieved Reiki Master level in 1995. She was taught in the traditional Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho natural healing system whose lineage of teachers is traced back to Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki. Interested in learning?
