A Course in Miracles
2024-03-06 19:00 - 20:30 UTC | France
A Course in Miracles: each week we begin our exploration by reading the short introduction which includes these words “the course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim however at removing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence which is your natural inheritance.”
Has any other subject been written or sung about more often than love? Isn’t it the organizing principle of all religions? So popular and prominent in our daily discourse, yet so elusive. And don’t we yearn for an alternative to fear, guilt and hatred, suspicion and divisiveness?

Whether a beginner, a student of many years, or an on-again/off again inquirer, you are invited to join us in seeking to learn how to love and enjoy being in love. It’s not a solo performance. Only together, is love manifest.

Join us for an introduction to Family Constellations — a practice for healing intergenerational patterns and connecting with the strength and wisdom from our lineage.
In every family there are heroes, heroines, villains, and outcasts; people who are easy to love, and people who feel impossible to love. There have most definitely been great triumphs and death-defying difficulties.
We will be exploring how these people and events influence our lives today. We’ll learn how it is possible to come into relationship with the treasures in our family lineage that have been hiding in plain sight. And we will activate a closer relationship with those ancestors who can can most empower us.

Men's Wisdom Council
2024-03-07 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
What does it mean to be a “Man”?
Most men find that there is no clear answer to that question. It’s never been easy being a man. We take on the roles that society assigns us, without being given clear instructions. Role models that are offered up to us don’t speak to our deeper concerns, or rarely reply from the depths that our spirits require.
Councils have long been used by many traditions and cultures as a way to come together and gain a greater understanding of the world. The Men’s Wisdom Council continues this sacred tradition of sharing and deep listening.
Our circle we will strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can take turns telling our stories, sharing our concerns, and learning from each other—as we explore how we, as men, walk through the stages of our lives.
Please contact Michael Corthell (michaelacorthell@gmail.com) (text: 617-921-1321) for any questions that you may have.
Meets upstairs in the “studio” space. Enter through school street door.

Each Circle will hold its own magic and connection to what is already embedded in you. Come and explore life through an Indigenous lens. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you find out about life and how you are called to walk in it!

Once the Seven Circles are complete, we intend to host a collective integration on Zoom where all participants can come on to share how things are moving, or have moved, since they participated in one or more of the gatherings. It promises to be a beautiful experience!
