.2024 Calendar of Monthly Gatherings & Guided Meditation Recordings:
The Healing Your Soul Monthly Gatherings are a sacred space where you will learn a profoundly new way to relate with your inner world as you get to know and invite compassion toward every part of you, including those that are weary and burdened. They are held on the second Wednesday of the month at 7:00 in the Spirituality Center (except for February which will move to the third Wednesday).
In 2024 we will utilize Altogether You, Jenna Riemersma’s book integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Christianity. We will work through the book over the course of the year, while maintaining each evening as a standalone presentation. I encourage all of you to purchase this wonderful book!

2023 Monthly Gatherings & Audio Recordings of the Guided Meditations
Wednesday, June 14, 2023 (Launch Event)
“Living from Our Core Self”
For our first gathering, we will focus on the core of this work – connecting with our Core Self. The Core Self is the essence of who you are, it is the space within where you connect with God. We will explore its qualities and how to know when we are living from our Core Self. We will draw inspiration from the travelers on the road to Emmaus, who experienced their hearts burning inside as they encountered the risen Christ.

“Self-Compassion for Your Ego”
Is it possible to love the parts of you that seem unlovable? The ego too often gets a bad rap, seen as the enemy preventing you from leading a healthy, fulfilling life. But what if you could turn this enemy into your greatest ally? Join us as we provide a fresh look at the ego, seeing it through eyes of compassion and love, and transforming ourselves in the process.

“Healthy vs. Unhealthy Spirituality”
How’s your spiritual eyesight? Sometimes it can be difficult to see if an experience is truly coming from God. Meet your “Spiritualizer” – a part of you that puts a religious twist on your thinking under the guise of getting you to do the right things to be closer to God. Think inner critic disguised in God’s voice. Yet this Spiritualizer can often leave you feeling guilt or shame, critical of others, or with a need to be perfect or people pleasing; and ultimately more distant from God. Recognizing the healthy and unhealthy aspects of your spirituality will clear your vision, helping you feel closer to God and bring relief to your well-intentioned but burdened Spiritualizer.

“Self-Compassion is More Than Just Being Nice to Yourself”
Contemplative prayer and mindfulness practices are often mistakenly viewed as having an agenda to make you more peaceful by turning you away from your problems. The opposite is true. They have no agenda except to bring you into the present moment. Jim Finley says, “A contemplative practice is any act, habitually entered into with your whole heart, as a way of awakening, deepening, and sustaining a contemplative experience of the inherent holiness of the present moment.” No matter what is happening. Being present, accepting and compassionate toward the blessings you receive and the crosses you bear. Join us as we explore the contemplative path in depth, and how it can help connect to the Core Self and God and bring healing to our burdened parts.
GUIDED MEDITATION: Slow Down… and Invite Self-Compassion

And that beyond being a feel-good activity, that it is a core factor in the healing process? Join us as we identify three do’s and three don’ts in exploring the depths and power of gratitude.
