Happy New Year!

As we step into the New Year we want to tell you about all the things that are going on at the Centre this winter.

First of all, we will be following along with the Centers for Spiritual Living theme of 'Creating a Values-Based Life' this year.  Join us as we step into a greater experience of our potential.

We have a new class in a new format coming up. Rev Nadene Rogers will be facilitating 'Prosperous Me'. Check out the poster for more information. This course runs for 30 days. There is a 20 minute call each morning to set the tone for the day. You can register on our website.

Our SOM 103 - Building a Healing Consciousness course is going to start on March 6th. Deepen your understanding of Affirmative Prayer. You can also register for this course on our website.

At the end of January we will be starting our annual Season for Peace and Non-Violence campaign. Here is some more information about this:

The Gandhi King Season For Nonviolence was co-founded 19 years ago in 1998 by Dr. Arun Gandhi and The Association for Global New Thought.  It is an awareness campaign of the memorial anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., spanning 64 days commencing January 30th and ending April 4th.  The purpose of the campaign is to bring attention to the philosophy of attaining peace through nonviolence actions as demonstrated by legendary leaders such as Gandhi, King, Chevez, Mandela, and the Dalai Lama.  Over 900 cities in 67 countries participate.  CSL Kelowna will again participate with a variety of events such as movies, meditation, and the Peace Rock Walk on March 25th.  Further detail on events TBA.

Keep an eye on our newsletter for more details on the different Season for Peace and Non-Violence activities.

Heading into the Holiday Season!!

There is lots going on that we would like to tell you about as we head into the holiday season.

First and foremost, of course, is our annual Celebration of Light. It will be held on December 19th at 7pm at the Kelowna Community Theatre.

After that, please join us on December 21st at 7pm at the Peace Centre for a very special 'Taize' service. This is a contemplative service of readings, music, and silence. It is a profound experience that you won't want to miss.

And finally we will join again with millions of others around the world for the World Healing Day peace meditation on December 31st at 4:00 am (no we are not kidding) at the Peace Centre.

All the best for a wonderful holiday season from all of us at the Centre for Spiritual Living Kelowna!!!

Falling into Transformative Education

“It’s time to get some class in our lives”

This is a phrase we often use at this time of year to let everyone know about our upcoming Science of Mind personal transformation classes. It is also a wonderful way to think about the opportunity before us.

Ernest Holmes said: “The Universe is fundamentally spiritual -- it has intelligence, purpose, beauty, and order. Whether we call it God, Nature, Spirit, Energy, or Universal Intelligence, all emanates from this Spiritual Universe.”

We have an opportunity in our classes to learn how to use and personalize the metaphysical principles used by spiritual masters throughout history. In class you can expect some profound discussions, readings, spiritual practice, meditation, and some lectures. 

I know for me, taking classes was the most transformational step I took in my own personal growth (unwitting as it was at the time!).

I was impacted not only by what I learned  about creating new experiences through changing my belief system, but I was also moved by the opportunity to connect with fellow travellers along the path, and to forge deep, lifelong friendships.

So I invite you to let this be the year of your own personal transformation.

See you in class,
Dr. Deborah Gordon
