Our theme for 2011 will be HAPPY, HEALTHY & HOLY and we'd like each month of the calendar to represent some aspect of this theme. We have not yet finalized the subthemes of the individual months-in fact, we hope to be inspired by some of these creative pictures.

Each month will be represented by a photo, and we will add an affirmation or an inspiring quote to go with it. (But that's our job-not yours.) Some examples of subthemes might be: Gratitude, Enlightenment, Balance, Joy, Grace, Sacredness, etc.

The calendar will be sold in our bookstore, Sacred Path Books and Gifts, beginning in December. We are asking for your original photos to be submitted for judging by September 15th. Pick up a flyer at the Concierge Table for details.

If you have any questions, direct them to Rev. Michael Gott, our Music and Fine Arts Minister.

Have fun! Be creative! Inspire!

WORKSHOPS & CLASSES

In this entry-level class you will find a rich introduction to the Spiritual Principles and the complimentary spiritual practices of our teachings. The main objective in this course is to provide a safe and fun place to embrace practical spirituality for everyday living. Included are the classic writings of Ernest Holmes plus the insight and wisdom of historical and modern metaphysicians. The intention behind the design of the class is for the students to move from their head to their heart, to be able to integrate the concepts into their life.

No Pre-requisite (This class or Beyond Limits is a pre-requisite for all other certificated classes)

Ralph Waldo Emerson, originally a minister, was a compelling speaker who traveled the country sharing his wisdom. In his writings, we find the bright flash of eternity, the vista of the timeless caught in a sunburst of words. "A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within . . ." Ernest Holmes said, "I read Emerson like I drink water."

The writings of Thomas Troward, a Divisional Judge in India, had a profound effect on the development of New Thought, and are beautiful in their sustained clearness of thought and style. Troward reminds us that "in proportion to our increasing recognition of Spirit our power of producing outward visible results by the action of our thought will grow."

Emma Curtis Hopkins, called the teacher of teachers, gives us very practical ways to court the Presence. Emma brings us a direct transmission of Truth, having devoted her life to daily deep spiritual practices that brought her to a full revelation of Spirit and our relationship therein. "There is one God, above you all, and through you all, and in you all."

Join Ginny Ogden for a deeper look at each of these powerful influences and how their teachings are woven into the philosophy, the faith, the way of life that Ernest Holmes created as the Science of Mind and Spirit.

Dr. Holmes wrote about timeless spiritual truths in his basic book, The Science of Mind that continue to challenge today’s thinking. This book is the basic textbook for Science of Mind classes. Modern day philosophers such as Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra incorporate the same spiritual principles when they speak or write.
