In January we once again started serving our Family Table Dinner. A big “thank you” to everyone who volunteered! Our next dates are March 25 and April 22. Look for volunteer signup for upcoming Family Table Meals on a board in the Fellowship Hall or contact an Outreach Committee member for more information.

Has anyone seen our table runners? They are woven, multicolor table runners we use for the Family Table dinner tables. If anyone knows where they are or has seen them, please let us know.

In January we also held a Teddy Bear Blessing at the Family Sunday service. Our bears went to Unity Hospital to the pediatric and geriatric wards to be given to patients. Thank you to all who donated the bears and to all of you who blessed the bears, too.

In February, we had a Quilting Night. We were able to finish up twelve quilts that were donated to Bundles of Love. We were also able to donate 105 pounds of yarn to Bundles of Love thanks to donations made from a couple of crafters who were cleaning their closets.

Outreach volunteers: Becky Haaf, Donna Snyder, Kathleen Bailey, Mary Sorenson, Rhonda Steele, Rick Bona and Sue Bona

Northern Enlightenment Learning Series

Presents Kathy Grimes, Animal Communicator

March 28, 2-4 p.m.—Love Offering

THE SPIRITUALITY OF ANIMALS AND

WHAT THEY CAN TEACH US

As spiritual beings, we are invited to open our hearts and minds to the animals that we share this world with. When we do this, we enrich our spiritual lives and our daily experiences.

Join Kathy in exploring how animals (pets, wildlife and power animals) can help us heal, cope with death, open our hearts, and expand our consciousness.

Do animals have souls? Do animals have spiritual life?

What are the roles of domestic, wild and power animals in our lives?

What is the power of pets? What do animals bring to us?

Can we transcend the arbitrary boundary of species?

These are some of the questions that Kathy Grimes will explore with you. Kathy is an animal communicator, healer, and chaplain. Her web site is http://BrotherWolfAndFriends.com and http://WorldAnimalDayMN.com

The Living Matrix—The science of bioenergetic medicine

The Living Matrix is a new documentary that challenges conventional medicine to expand its understanding of human biology. The film uncovers evidence-based research in bioenergetic medicine that reveals energy and information fields – not genetics – drive human physiology and biochemistry. It encourages the total integration and acceptance between conventional and alternative health care.

Woven among interviews with world’s most respected experts in bio-energetic medicine, dynamic 3-D graphic animation takes The living Matrix takes viewer on a journey deep into the structure of the human body to illustrate how quantum biology influences health. Through in-person interviews and dramatized video vignettes that tell the stories of people who recovered from chronic illness – including a five-year-old boy born with cerebral palsy, an osteopathic doctor with a brain tumor, and a North Carolina housewife bedridden with chronic fatigue syndrome – the film demonstrates the effectiveness of bioenergetic medicine.

Bioenergetic medicine represents an intellectual pendulum swing towards holism. For the first time in medical history, scientists have gained significant momentum in presenting evidence-based research that reveals energy and information fields – not genetics – control human biology. The Living Matrix is a documentary that challenges conventional medicine to incorporate this evidence into its approach to health care. It is the first film to bring together some of the most respected scientists, academics, and practitioners to explore theories in bioenergetic medicine. It presents the science, illuminates complex concepts with 3-D animation, and tells real-life stories of its effectiveness – all in an effort to make this information accessible to a wide audience.

NORTHERN ENLIGHTENMENT LEARNING SERIES PRESENTS

THE LOTUS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

SPIRITUAL AWAKENING AND THE HUMAN ENERGY FIELD

Saturday, April 10, 9:30 – 4:30

$60

Rev. Helen White Wolf

This one-day workshop explores the subtle anatomy and dynamics of the human energy field from the perspective of the spiritual awakening process.

We will explore previously unmapped dimensions of the field that play a key role in the awakening process and look at core healing principles that can be used to resolve issues that commonly arise before, during, and after major expansions of awareness.

The workshop will offer opportunities for experiential work in the energy field and healing encounters with the deeper dimensions of consciousness.

Participants will gain greater understanding not only of the awakening process in a generic sense, but more importantly, how this experience relates to the matter of their own field, personal identity and life story.

Content will include:

-The role of the spiritual spinal column and the five causal chakras

-Living gracefully; the sacred aspects of the lower dimensions of the field

-Experiencing Soul through the core of the energy field

-The power of intention and the shaping of life story

-Transitions of identity; through ‘translucence’ to cosmic innocence

-Navigating through the challenges of accelerated transformation

-Consciousness and the twelve levels of the DNA

Presenters:

Helen, based in New Zealand and visiting in the U.S., trained in meditation, Spiritual Healing, Earth Healing and Esoteric Healing with The Shan Foundation, Melbourne, from 1986-88. She has studied the processes of spiritual awakening in detail, observing the changes in the energy field of individuals going through deep healing and awakening experiences. She has developed a unique system of healing and awakening practices known as Soul Centered Healing, which has since been shared internationally through workshops and professional training programs.

She was ordained as a Minister of Spiritual Peacemaking with the Beloved Community in June 2006. Her first book, The Ark of Consciousness, will be released later this year. www.way-of-the-heart.org

Helen’s husband, Polaris, will be co-facilitating the workshop. Helen and Polaris have been teaching workshops together since 2001.

THE VOICES WE USE

Inner Family Archetypes—Introductory Basics
Sunday, April 18, 2-4 p.m. with Judy Bouton (Love Offering)

Ask yourself: What direction or protection do You need? What do We need to understand? What shall I do? What shall I do so We can have something special? These questions use four different approaches, all of which we need in order to be whole. They use Inner Family Archetypes, four Inner Voices – Father, Mother, Boychild, Girlchild. When do we need each?

An Archetype with one word describes a whole picture, is a shorthand way of talking about something that we already have in our lives and vocabulary.

We don't like having other people tell us what to do, or how, or why. Inner Family Archetypes (IFA) Inner Voices allow us to contact that deeper place of spirit that allows us to listen, speak and act with clarity and wisdom. We need a complete set.

Judy Bouton is a Reiki Master and Life Coach. As a lifelong learner, she counts Inner Family Archetypes in her top 5 most useful systems of understanding herself and others. She teaches what she most needs to learn.

Judy first learned about IFA from the authors of Why We Do What We Do, Four Pathways to Your Authentic Self. It was an answer to her request to the Universe for a shorter version of the study of archetypes. She recorded the spoken CD Four Pathways to Your Authentic Self for the publishers to allow others to learn by listening to the book and by hearing the embodiment of those Voices.

Books and CDs will be available for purchase. For more information, contact Judy at judy@judybouton.com or at 763.535.5005.

Pre-registering at Unity North Church ensures there will be enough books and CDs for those who want them. Class participants receive a free link to a six-minute IFA summary from the CD.

REMEMBERING THE CIRCULAR SOUL

by Carol Seck
Sunday, April 25, 2-4 p.m.

What if you could truly remember who you are? What if before you were born you had already decided what your life purpose was to be? What if, hidden within the energy layers of your being, there was a treasure trove of magical abilities that could be unlocked by reconnecting to your true identity? What if you remembered your soul name? Would you like to explore these interesting possibilities with others who also want to remember? Come join Carol Seck on Sunday, April 25, from 2-4 p.m. for “Remembering the Circular Soul”.
