CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

Creating our Beloved Community!

Join Rev Cath DePalma via Zoom as we read and discuss Jim Lockard’s visionary book: Creating the Beloved Community: A Handbook for Spiritual Leadership.

Creating The Beloved Community is about the qualities, attitudes, and practices that are needed to manifest the kind of world envisioned by Howard Thurman and Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr., a world of peace and harmony. The book speaks of the leadership qualities needed to create such a beloved community, including cultural evolutionary awareness, presencing, and psychological awareness of our own and others' development. Join Rev Cath as we begin conversations about creating a Beloved Community!

Please go to our website (cslnashville.org under Calendar/Classes) or click the link below to sign up for this important class.

The next class is Tuesday November 12th from 6:30 to 8:00pm via zoom.

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT

Tonya Miller-Hire, RScP

Theme: Life is Sweet

I recognize and celebrate the One Power, the One Presence, the Infinite Source of all sweetness in life. This divine Substance is the very essence of abundance, expressing in all forms and filling every corner of creation.

This boundless Spirit lives within me, within every being, and throughout all that is. I open my heart to the flow of Abundance Consciousness, allowing Spirit’s infinite potential to bless my life and ripple out to those around me.

In this sweet consciousness, I am guided with clarity, seeing abundance in every experience. My heart overflows with gratitude, and my cup of blessings is full to the brim.

With a grateful spirit, I release this word into the perfect Law, trusting that abundance multiplies and flows in divine harmony, manifesting my and everyone's best and highest good.

And so it is.
