THIS WEEK

TUESDAY 5/9 - WRITERS WORKSHOP (5-6:30 PM)

The Wayfarers Workshop for Writers, facilitated by Sam Renken, has a simple mission: to foster and provide consistent community for local writers. Meeting every Tuesday, the workshop provides writers of all ages and genres the opportunity to write, read, revise, and present their work to the group.


WEDNESDAY 5/10 - NEW THOUGHT DISCUSSION GROUP (1-3 PM)

With more than 40 years of New Thought study and practice, Dee Daley facilitates an informal discussion group based on the pioneers of the New Thought movement. This second of three sessions will focus on the influence of Emma Curtis Hopkins on the New Thought Movement here in the USA.


If you are interested in the discussion group, or would just like more info on New Thought leaders and/or ideas, Click Here for an electronic copy of the resource material for the discussion group.


WEDNESDAY 5/10 - REIKI (4-6 PM)

Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing that treats the whole person - body, emotions, mind, and spirit - creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and wellbeing. Reiki works in conjunction with other medical therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

In these sessions, one or more Reiki practitioners assist you to address your specific desire/concern. Reiki is performed by the practitioner(s) holding hands on or above the body - whichever is most comfortable for the recipient.

When you arrive at the chapel, please enter quietly, take a seat, and simply enjoy the peaceful, loving energy of the space. A practitioner will be with you shortly.

Sessions are free and open to everyone. Donations may be placed in the baskets near the front door.


THURSDAY - YOGA - Postponed until 5/18

Our apologies, but the yoga classes are delayed one more week. We look forward to classes starting 5/18.


SUNDAY 5/14 - SERVICE - 10 AM

Crowes Capps will share his meditative music and Maggie Renken brings our Mother's Day message. Coffee, tea, treats, and visitation after chapel. -- And be sure to get your copy of the newest Daily Word from the shelf near the front door.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

WORKSHOP & FIREWALK - MAY 20

There is still time to sign up for the upcoming workshop and firewalk led by Rev. Dr. Kate Greysen on May 20th at 6 PM in Otto, NC.


According to Tony Robbins, "Firewalking is the ultimate metaphor for working through life’s challenges and obstacles, our own fears and insecurities about them. Firewalking is a potent symbol of all that is possible when you take those first literal steps to a freer, more fulfilling future.


Participants in the workshop will learn a great deal about themselves - and whether they choose to walk to the coal s or not - they will walk away stronger and more in tune with themselves. See the event flyer for full description and registration details.
