A New Year and an Inward Journey

Our centre is blessed to be in its 25^th year of serving a congregation of beautiful souls on a pathway to ever more personal growth and transformation. If you are feeling the Divine nudge to pursue a deeper inward journey to your own liberation and expansion, I want you to consider joining our upcoming Inward Journey class. This class is unlike most here at the centre which are pretty much open and accessible to everyone. Inward Journey is especially designed for those already familiar with the basics of the Science of Mind- including the format of Spiritual Mind Treatment, the practice of meditation and Science of Mind principles and practices. This advanced course is designed to help us see our lives and how they have gotten to be the way they are, and then to offer us tools and techniques to create lives of our personal choice- lives born out of awareness and purposeful creation. This course is also unlike most in that it is a continuous stream of 30 classes and a commitment to all of them is required. It is truly the deeper dive in all ways.
 For those potentially interested in the possibility of becoming a Practitioner with our centre, this class is also the 1^st year of practitioner training (although no current interest in Practitionership is required to join). For those who do choose to pursue a Practitioner License, a second year of training required, which will be offered next year. These classes are a powerful intersection of community, intimacy, and belonging. There will be lots of opportunity for discussion. There is a cooperative experience of exploring the ideas presented together as a collective and as an individual. Amanda Pope RScp and myself are co-teachers of this class. We are supported by Derek Hinchliffe RScp. We all look forward to exploring the practical tools that will allow us to change our thinking and change our lives and to make the world a better place. We would love to have you join us for this life enhancing experience. We are also working on the logistics of offering at least some of the classes via Zoom videoconferencing to enhance its accessibility. Please consider joining us and if you have ANY questions, please don’t hesitate to email me at: revgord@shaw.ca.   

Blessings, 

Dr. Deb

Weekly Update

This week's message:

“There is Only Love” ~ Dr. Deborah Gordon

"We are happy when life flows through us into creative self expression.

This cannot happen while we judge ourselves or others.

When we so live that nothing goes from us but love, there will be no

condemnation of ourselves or others" ~ Ernest Holmes

One of the activities offered at a recent Minister's Conference in North Carolina was the opportunity to do a Firewalk. Although she wasn't sure she would actually do the walk, Dr. Deb wanted to experience what led up to it, and then decide if it was "right for me" to walk on fire. She learned "We are more than we think we are and we can do what our rational mind might think is impossible." Deb will share more about her experience on Sunday morning.

Please join us this Sunday, starting at 10:30 at the Royal Anne Hotel.

Coming up on Friday November 13th:
