Freedom Song

Freedom is one of those words that has several meanings. In areas of governance, it means one is not coerced into voting, believing or following any particular political entity, nor is one confined or restrained.  Individually, it can be having the capacity to live with ease and facility. Spiritually, freedom is often expressed in the relinquishment of self over to the Holy One, the Sacred Mystery.  
This month our guests experience the Sacred through the art of print-making, yoga practices, mindful walking, contemplative prayer, and music.
 
Regardless of how freedom is expressed in your life, TSC hopes to be a place where you can freely open your self to encounter the holy and discover your freedom song.

Grief Recovery Workshop beginning August 9 at 2.30 pm
 
One of the least acknowledged and
least addressed concerns in our society is:
Grief  (The normal and natural reaction to loss)
 
Whether your loss is from:
* Death of a loved one * Divorce or end of a relationship
* Loss of career * Loss of a substance dependency 
* Loss of trust
* Loss of dreams * Loss of security * Loss of health
 
Grief will continue to affect  adversely our lives and the lives of those around us when we are forced to accept the many Myths About Grief:
 
Time heals all wounds
Replace the loss
Grieve alone
Be strong for others
Bury your feelings
 
This Outreach program will guide those who wish to resolve their loss issues
to move beyond their grief to a richer quality of life.
 
8-week program will be conducted by
Kay Fraley, M.Ed. M.Div. Certified Grief Recovery® Specialist.
 
The program is affiliated with and endorsed by The Grief Recovery Institute.
This format has been developed by Russell P. Friedman, Executive Director,  and John W. James, Founder of the Grief Recovery Institute, and authors  of The Grief Recovery Handbook-The Action Program for
Moving Beyond Death, Divorce and Other Losses.
 
The 8-Week Program will begin
Thursday, August 9, 2018
Time: 2:30PM to 4:30 PM
 
PLACE:
Transfiguration Spirituality Center
495 Albion Ave., Glendale, OH

"...Let music swell the breeze, and ring from all the trees sweet freedom's song;
let mortal tongues awake, let all that breathe partake, let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong...." 

These words from the poem by Samuel Francis Smith, the third verse to "America", came to mind as the images of trees, plants and flowers emerged last weekend during a group retreat. Each image  creates a song of its own, and celebrates the joy that is found in the beauty of our fragile earth. May you see the beauty of the world imprinted in your life.

Blessings,
