SUMMARY:SOM- "Why Christianity Must Change or Die" by John Shelby Spong\, Tues 6-7pm
DESCRIPTION:Starting February 24th\n\n\n\n\n\nAn important and respected voice for liberal American Christianity for the past twenty years\, Bishop John Shelby Spong integrates his often controversial stands on the Bible\, Jesus\, theism\, and morality into an intelligible creed that speaks to today’s thinking Christian. In this compelling and heartfelt book\, he sounds a rousing call for a Christianity based on critical thought rather than blind faith\, on love rather than judgment\, and that focuses on life more than religion. \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:Embodying Sacred Union Workshop  2:30 - 4:00ish
DESCRIPTION:Embodying Sacred Union Workshop – Rev. Mary Clayton-McGlauflin\nAncient prophecies suggest that when the world drifts too far from love\, awakened hearts are called back into remembrance of the Christ-Sophia Light – the Magdalene Flame – which is now being rekindled within women and men alike. We are called to embody Sacred Union\, a marriage of heaven and earth\, spirit and flesh\, and the balance of Divine Masculine and Feminine energies within each person. Through art\, meditation\, anointing experiences\, and sacred movement\, we will explore what it is to embody this Sacred Union as we help usher in a renewed consciousness and help co-create the Kin-dom of Love here on Earth. Participants are encouraged to bring journals and something to write with.\nSuggested donation: $25.00 \n\nRev.

SUMMARY:Fall Equinox Drum Circle - Donna Corso  Tues. Sept 22\, 1:00 - 2:00pm
DESCRIPTION:Drum Your Way to Health \nAn Equinox Tradition at CTC \nJoin Donna as we celebrate Mother Earth & the Fall Equinox. We will begin by honoring the six directions followed by a drum circle. Please bring your drums\, rattles\, tambourines\, didgeridoos\, flutes\, or any kind of percussion instruments. Let’s welcome in Autumn! \nIf you thought beating on a drum was just making noise\, think again! It’s been shown that there are many positive health benefits to drumming\, not the least of which is stress reduction.  Drumming releases endorphins in the brain which has been shown to help control chronic pain and create a general feeling of well-being. \nDrumming can even help with fatigue\, anxiety\, asthma\, arthritis\, mental illness\, addiction\, depression\, and more. It can boost your immune system\, increase natural T-cells which can help the body combat viruses\, even cancer. \nDrumming also creates a deeper sense of connectedness with your own Spirit and with other like-minded people. As you flow with the Rhythm of Life by simply feeling the beat\, it helps align your body and mind with the Natural World\, helping to release negative emotions which can form energy blocks. Shamans use drumming as a way to access a higher power and to integrate mind\, body and spirit. \nReady to try it? All are welcome to our quarterly Drum Circle at the Creative Thought Center (449 Pigeon St. Waynesville) every Equinox and Solstice. Bring your drum\, rattle\, or percussion instrument.  No drum? Come anyway and feel the beat! \nFor information call Donna Corso 828-246-0279.
