Compassionate Curiosity Teaches

SYNOPSIS: To connect with Life and see what blocks that expression in you requires your hearts compassionate curiosity. There is an Art of Looking.  We are not about making things happen.  Rather we remain compassionately curious by turning inward to understand our experiences.  Learning to trust what Life gives us is the exact situation needed  for our growth.  Any experience that tightens you up is set up by Life to bring up what has been bound up inside of you so those parts of yourself begin to open up under the light of your curiosity.  The goal is to directly experience the joy of Life rather than its compulsions,  lack of balance,  painful feelings,  or mistrust of people and events.
FEATURED MUSICIAN: Pamela Benton
TAKEAWAYS: We are responsible for the conditions we create regardless of our circumstances. Fear is the key to understanding what is in the way. If you are feeling trapped by life, stop and ask the question: I wonder how this can change, I wonder how I can change? I wonder where to start? Start now by accepting the situation and by being willing to change. Be curious and listen to the inner voice within that opens you up to the possibilities that are offered. Now is the time to make a YOU-turn. Now is the time to reject fear and embrace the life you were meant to live. 
PODCAST:
​We’re in for a treat this Sunday.  Rev. Michael Moran will be with us as we move in to week three of our Fall Spirit Circle program, studying the book, What’s In the Way, Is the Way by Mary O’Malley.
 
Michael will be exploring the idea of what compassionate curiosity can teach us.
Compassionate curiosity helps us to connect with Life and assist us through difficult times in our lives.  There is an Art of Looking.  We are not about making things happen.  Rather we remain compassionately curious by turning inward to understand our experiences. 
 
Learning to trust what Life gives us is the exact situation needed for our growth.  Any experience that tightens you up is set up by Life to bring up what has been bound up inside of you, so those parts of yourself begin to open up under the light of your curiosity.  The intention is to directly experience the joy of Life.  Rather than its compulsions, lack of balance, painful feelings, or mistrust of people and events.
 
We are blessed to have Pamela Benton as our featured artist.  She is a classically trained violinist.  Pamela has toured to perform in over 10 states in the West.  She will play her electric violin, her guitar and sing, accompanied by vocalists Mark Soss and Lisa Sherman, along with Gwen Gathercoal playing piano and Dagan Williamson drums.  
 
Plan to join us.  Your presence makes a difference.
 
In loving kindness,
 
Deidre
