May 16, 9:00-10:30 pm Late Spring Stargazing at the Farm
Hickory Nut Gap Farm, Fairview, NC
Join us as we spend time admiring the stars, constellations and milky way that fill the warm spring skies at the farm during this season. We’ll learn some of the myths and legends of the spring constellations and get a sneak peak at some of the summer stars now making their appearance.
May 22-24, The Way of the Universe: Aligning Our Lives and Our Spirituality with Cosmic Process
Genesis Retreat Center, Westfield, MA
The results from modern science indicate that we live in a universe far richer and more wonderful than anything we could have ever imagined. These insights into the deeper nature of the cosmos have the power to transform our spirituality and our lives and re-envision ourselves as living expressions of a sacred evolving universe.
Far from being either a random accident or a preplanned blueprint, the universe is a creative, generative, and dynamic process expressing itself in lives in every moment. Viewing ourselves and the world around us through the lens of cosmic process helps us to relax more deeply into ourselves and appreciate our participation in—and contribution to—the richness, elegance, and beauty of the universe. Understanding the nature of these cosmic dynamics and how to align with them can also help guide us through the immense transformations and changes currently occurring in our world, allowing us to live lives of inspiration, creativity, and fulfillment for the benefit of others and the whole.
More information and registration information to come soon.
