"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." Berthold Auerbach
Feeling stressed with your busy life? In a chaotic world that can drain our energies, it's so important to take time out just to be with ourselves and Spirit. With this intention in mind, Kindred Spirits Retreat Center is starting a unique new offering for you to come and rejuvenate. Please join us for the first of regular monthly evenings featuring live meditative music on harp, Native American Flute, piano and other instruments - played in the lovely and serene Sanctuary Space at Kindred Spirits Retreat Center. This is not a performance or concert -- but special time for you to be with Spirit in a beautiful sacred space surrounded by the healing vibrations of live music. We encourage you to use this unstructured time in whatever way speaks to you: meditation, prayer, reading, writing, yoga or movement, artwork, crafts -- any quiet activity that nourishes your soul. This is your special time to focus on your personal healing and creative process. Come anytime after 7:00 pm and stay for all or part of the session. All are invited for refreshments afterwards, so we can share experiences and get to know each other. We hope to see you there!

“HU is woven into the language of life. It is the Sound of all sounds. It is the wind in the leaves, falling rain, thunder of jets, singing of birds, the awful rumble of a tornado. Its sound is heard in laughter, weeping, the din of city traffic, ocean waves, and the quiet rippling of a mountain stream. And yet, the word HU is not God. It is a word people anywhere can use to address the Originator of Life.” - Sri Harold Klemp, Spiritual Leader of ECKANKAR, Religion of the Light and Sound of God

"Virgin Territory: How I Found My Inner Guadalupe"
Book Talk and Signing with Author Susan Cobb
Thursday evening, July 1st, at 7:00 pm.
Borders Books & Records (Oakway Center)
While Borders are not stocking her book, they are providing a space for a book talk and Susan will be bringing a supply of books to Borders the night of the event if you want to purchase one. If she runs out, she'll give you a discount code to order it online and that will, at least, help to offset the cost of postage.
Just being with Susan will be a deep spiritual, enlightening and delightful treat. Her book shares her experiences, one of which is having had issues with organized religion and a search for a more feminine spiritual ideal. Her book also traces the purpose, experiences and healings of her "Let's give it all up and move to Mexico" journey with her husband Larry.
If you've ever had to start afresh with life in some radical way (I did :-) or you have thought about doing it, listening to Susan and knowing what's in her book will give you a new view of life's purpose, possibilities and spirituality that you can live right wherever you are.
The name of her press is Porsimisma, which means “on her own behalf.” It goes along with an ancient definition of virgin, namely, "one in herself." This is the vision Susan wants to share with women – that each of us is self-complete, worthy and capable of unconditional love. This is true because each of us is the reflection of She who is all that.

CONTEMPLATIVE, MEDITATIVE SHABBAT CHANT CIRCLE
Co-lead by Lisa Kaye, and guest Linda Zahavi, chant leader from P'nai Or, Portland
Saturday, July 10, 2010 ~ 10:30 a.m. to noon
Center for Spiritual Living
390 Vernal Street, Eugene
Cross streets Coburg Rd/Rustic Pl.
Turn east at Blockbuster.
Lisa Kaye and Linda Zahavi, both chant leaders from Rabbi Shefa Gold's Kol Zimra program, will be leading this opportunity for us to step into sacred time together exploring the edges where Jewish Renewal and metaphysics intertwine with chant, meditation and the Shabbat liturgy.
It will be our same format for deep contemplative prayer and reflection but with an added voice to sweeten our harmonies and build an even greater depth to our chants.
This 'meta-Jewish' experience is open and welcoming for everyone whether you have little or lots of experience with Judaism or if you are just on an appreciative eclectic spiritual path, you will find a home here. Come enter the space with your hearts and souls open -- open to hearing and feeling spirit in a new way; partly Jewish, partly metaphysical, and wholly spiritual.
There is no charge for the gatherings but donations are appreciated if you would like to support more programs like this.
Visit our shabbat webpage: www.spiritpathnow.com/shabbat
or email Lisa at “shabbat (at) spiritpathnow.com”.
