Celebration of Spirit

CELEBRATION OF SPIRIT:
COMPASSION 

I'm so pleased that Rev Judy and Rev Glenda will be talking at the Celebration of Spirit on the topic of compassion. Recent events in the world make this topic so important. I hope you are able to join her and "Leo's Team" at Common Ground this month. Barbara and I will be thinking about you all...in India.

Challenging the frightened parts of personality creates compassion. It changes one’s experience of self and others. The loving parts of personality are compassionate, and the frightened parts are not. Compassion means caring about self and others enough to see the sources of pain, to heal the frightened parts, and cultivate the loving parts. Shouting when angry is an unconscious choice. Having random unprotected sex is an unconscious choice. Feeding addictions and compulsions is an unconscious choice. Compassion is not obsessive, compulsive or addictive. It is appropriate.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH @ 7PM

Common Ground



Many of you know I'm an Associate Minister at Common Ground here in Tustin, California where on the last Sunday of each month, I conduct the morning service on the same day that I do the evening Celebration of Spirit.

Many recovering people are looking for a safe church or community that fits their Twelve Step program; Common Ground is the place. Common Ground  sees itself as a spiritual community that welcomes everyone.  A sacred space that celebrates the divinity that exists in the Universe and also in you and me.   Whether it be the morning service or evening talk, you will not hear a sermon about damnation but a message of encouragement that affirms Joy, Possibility and Hope.  Nobody is made or expected to believe anything, rather we are invited to bring our gifts to the Fellowship.  People celebrating One Spirit.  What a concept!  Indeed, you couldn't meet nicer ministers than Rev Judy and Rev Glenda, they both share a ministry based upon inclusive love.

At Celebration of Spirit, I will discuss the process and steps required for growth in recovery and how to maintain a healthy, happy and yes, a sober life!  

Evening Talk
The last Sunday of each month at 7:00pm
Music by Scott St Louis, Spiritual Reading, Meditations, Inspirational Talk, Refreshments and Social gathering
