The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity

Wednesday Evenings, Murray Room from 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m.

Come join us to find a path to higher creativity.  This book by Julia Cameron is a book that will help you discover and recover your creativity.  It can help those who see themselves as an artist and those who wish to be an artist. By making small changes in the daily and weekly life we can change how we look upon life spiritually, emotionally and physically.  Meetings are Wednesday Nights from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. starting May 26 for 13 sessions skipping the Wednesday before and after the 4th of July.  Sign up in the Commons.

A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

The study group will initially meet on the second and fourth Mondays each month, at 10:00 a.m. in the Clara Barton Room on the second floor in the Religious Education Wing.

ACIM offers a system of metaphysical thought based on the unconditional love of God and forgiveness, and the desire only to be truly helpful.  The Course is challenging in many ways, including intellectual, psychological, spiritual, and emotional. Study groups for this usually involve taking turns reading the text aloud, and stopping to discuss ideas that invite questioning or commentary. While it is helpful to have some participants who have studied the Course, active, thoughtful participation is what enriches the study. More information about A Course in Miracles is available on the web at http://www.acim.org/ It is not necessary to have a copy of the book to participate in the group. All are welcome.
