| | Exploring and embracing the infinite possibility and potential within ourselves seems like a powerful key to unlocking our living a deliciously vibrant Life. We are always at the threshold of a new and expansive expression of the Divine. So, why do we cling so tightly to our limited, small ways of being? | | |
By any measure, Rev. Kit Holmes’ musical gifts alone are extraordinary. But it is the sheer volume of her additional talents and creativity that explain the adulation she regularly receives from audiences, critics, clients, and peers for her keynotes, classes, coaching, and retreats. She has been sharing her gifts in New Thought spiritual communities around the United States since 2004.
Rev. Kit is a licensed Centers for Spiritual Living minister and a certified transformational life coach who recently returned “home” to her native Michigan after a 21-year stint in the Austin, Texas music scene.
Kit is also a recovering perfectionist, and a recent breast cancer and divorce survivor who uses these experiences as a teaching tool for healing body, mind, and spirit.

The bookstore is clearing out all of the stuff that will not fit in the new location. Everything that isn't going to 2404 San Mateo Pl. will be discounted 25-50% this weekend. Whatever does not sell, will go into the moving sale. Going forward, the bookstore's inventory will consist primarily of books and cards, so if there is some piece you've had your eye on, this may be your last opportunity to snatch it up!
Please note that the bookstore will not be in operation for the last two weeks of February.

We are pleased to have Kim Peabody with us this Sunday, offering therapeutic hugs and tantra meditation. Kim brings eight years practice of tantra, a self-awareness modality used for opening chakras and bringing forward emotional stagnations. “Being hugged by Kim feels so incredibly nurturing. It's like being in the arms of The Divine Mother.”

February 6, 2026: Allison Davis, Michael Anthony and Terry Burns
Michael Anthony, aka Uncle Mike, may be one the most well-known jazz musicians in New Mexico - and for good reason! He brings a wealth of experience (having played and/or recorded with everybody who is anybody) and is also much beloved as a teacher and mentor to generations of guitar students. When Terry Burns moved back to his home state of New Mexico, he quickly became one of the most in-demand bass players around. Allison Davis may be better known as one of the DJs for KUNM’s All That Jazz, but she’s also sung with each of these talented musicians. She’s thrilled to be playing with them both, performing some jazz standards, tunes from The Great American Songbook and maybe a few surprises too!
