SUMMARY:SOM- "Braiding Sweet Grass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer - Thurs 6pm
DESCRIPTION:Starting June 19th \n\n\n\n\n\nIn Braiding Sweetgrass\, Robin Wall Kimmerer draws upon Indigenous wisdom and environmental science to explore humanity’s reciprocal relationship with nature. The author recounts sacred creation stories and rituals—such as the Skywoman Falling myth and the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address—that center gratitude\, kinship\, and reciprocity as guiding principles for sustainability. \nKimmerer argues that the path forward lies in integrating traditional ecological knowledge with scientific methods. The practices of sustainable harvests\, listening to “plant languages\,” and heeding the Windigo myth’s warnings against overconsumption offer a pathway to restoring balance between humans and the natural world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis group meets on Zoom from 6 – 7pm.\n\n\n\n\n\nCathy Riggsbee and Kathleen Wood will be heading up the SOM discussion group. \nContact Cathy at 828-550-3812 for more information. \n

SUMMARY:SOM- "Braiding Sweet Grass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer - Thurs 6pm
DESCRIPTION:Starting June 19th \n\n\n\n\n\nIn Braiding Sweetgrass\, Robin Wall Kimmerer draws upon Indigenous wisdom and environmental science to explore humanity’s reciprocal relationship with nature. The author recounts sacred creation stories and rituals—such as the Skywoman Falling myth and the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address—that center gratitude\, kinship\, and reciprocity as guiding principles for sustainability. \nKimmerer argues that the path forward lies in integrating traditional ecological knowledge with scientific methods. The practices of sustainable harvests\, listening to “plant languages\,” and heeding the Windigo myth’s warnings against overconsumption offer a pathway to restoring balance between humans and the natural world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis group meets on Zoom from 6 – 7pm.\n\n\n\n\n\nCathy Riggsbee and Kathleen Wood will be heading up the SOM discussion group. \nContact Cathy at 828-550-3812 for more information. \n

SUMMARY:Sunday Message - Hal Breakey "Thought Forms of Faith\, Fear & Possession"
DESCRIPTION:Spiritual Message: Hal Breakey “Thought Forms of Faith\, Fear & Possession”\nHumanity’s relationship to the mystery of the unknown can take many forms. Thought Forms\, like shapeshifting ghosts\, can direct the imagination into uncharted realms of both fear and fantasy. Conscious and unconscious imaginings cause physiological and psychological changes to occur\, leading to many unexpected life outcomes for those lacking understanding. In this presentation Dr. Pumpkin Head  will explore the supernatural world of living energy fields and spiritual entities. Tulpas\, Survitors\, Golems\, Domestic Spirits that manifest our heart desires for good or ill will be discussed. This talk will also cover the world of Egregores and Hyper objects\, which are cultural energy fields that may take on a life of their own seeking power and world domination. As people of Light and Love\, the presentation will conclude with how we might best live and communicate in a world fraught with such spiritual dangers and opportunities. \nTrustee: Kim Walzer…\nGreeter: Nancy Bauman…\nTechnical: Justin Elledge…\n10:30 am : Meditation: Justin Elledge…\nPractitioner: Joan Doyle...\nTao of Wow: Kim Walzer..\n \nDr. Breakey is a Pastoral Psychologist and ordained minister with over 30 years’ experience in counseling and human services.  He has successfully applied his training and wisdom in roles with the Air Force Academy\, as a Hospital Palliative Care and Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor\, in an innovative program  with the Florida Metropolitan University\, and in his own private practice.   \n
