Difficult times require serious care! When we encounter tough challenges, joy can slip out the window, making those challenges even more arduous. Joy provides the ballast needed to hold steady in life's storms. What must we do to cultivate, nurture, and protect our sense of joy when we need it most?

The season when the veil draws thin between the worlds is upon us, the perfect time to reflect on the blessings and gifts of our Ancestors in the eternal afterlife. How can we best honor our Ancestors in the here and now?

At this time of year, when harvesting from the good Earth begins in earnest, we consider all that goes into the growing and then surrendering for the sake of sustained life. How might we employ such a sacred surrendering? What will we do for the sake of something greater than ourselves?

We all know sanctuary as the holy place where we find our spiritual center. We need sanctuary to be in safety, to strengthen our faith and meet with the sacred. The good news is that there is a sanctuary that dwells within. Join us in the Sanctuary of Gaia's Temple to remind yourself of the way there.

This Summer Solstice, as the Sun hits His zenith, how we shine in the world is up for reflection. When we know and respect the truth of the light we emanate, we understand how needed we are. Everyone's light shines its own prismatic way, and all light is necessary for the beauty of wholeness.

Happy Mother's Day! One way the unconditional love of the Mother is expressed is in Her fierce protection of what She holds most precious. She will do all She can to keep the vulnerable safe, to shield Her Beloveds from harm, to provide shelter and comfort when danger lies in wait. Let's find this  profound love within ourselves and strengthen it in the sacred act of protection.

No one need tell us what is right and what is not. We know these things innately. Our actions in the world reflect our deepest values. How will respond to these troubled times? What actions will we take to demonstrate what we love and need to protect? Join us as we dismantle our apathy and light the fires of transformation.

The Sacred Temple Within!

There is a temple space deep within each of us that we can develop and devote ourselves to as sovereign space. Nothing external can touch or alter its sacredness and peace. Now is the time to find and familiarize ourselves with it, and recognize ourselves as those who tend the temple of the heart and soul. soul.

The Pleasure Principle

The Pleasure Principle!

with Rev. Judith Laxer

​We are hard wired to seek pleasure. Yet there is much in our culture that tells us to delay or deny pleasure, that we are  undeserving. In difficult times, creating pleasurable experiences is a valuable way to cope and necessary for our health and well-being. What happens to us when we center pleasure day to day?

Courage beats in the heart of the Goddess, courage is found in the heart of the matter, and courage is found in our hearts. There are challenges ahead for Mother Earth and all Her children. As we enter the new year, how will we find and strengthen our courage so that we can be the best stewards of the future? Join us for this important contemplation.
