TEACHINGS FROM THE HEART

Spiritual Based One Day Class(s) ~ Thought For The Month ~ Heart Teachings with Old Turtle

 

Ray at Poland PondJoin Ray for a spiritual based teaching. Sharpen your ability to see the world and to hear your heart so that these skills may guide you through life. We use meditations to quiet the mind and awaken awareness. We spend time investigating questions such as what the roots of our emotions are, how we can act from love instead of fear, and what stops us from living our dreams. Through meditation, observation, discussion and Ray’s humorous stories we come to understand the source of our troubles and why people act as they do. This understanding and awareness helps us to strip away judgment and fear so we may follow our hearts with confidence and peace. Throughout this session we draw upon the wisdom and stillness of nature. Time is spent in quiet contemplation as well as in active pursuits. You will leave this experience with a new found stillness of mind, appreciation for the earth, and clarity of purpose.

"Ray's spiritual philosophy is an all-day, everyday awareness (presence) of spirit in his life. He shares a spirit-based teaching unencumbered by dogma and structure. It is not so much teaching as stripping away the clutter. We all have the answers we need within. Like all the living creatures, God has provided within us the ability to solve our own problems, including our path back to it." B. Pogatchnik

Thought for the Month

"What does it mean to 'go to the heart'? "
It means to go into the stillness of the self, into your own depth. The stillness is in your heart, the quiet place within you, where you are in private communion with God. Be still, I AM is speaking. Go within or go without.

Excerpt from We Shall Cast Rainbows Upon the Land
