Center for Spiritual Living Olympia

Anais Nin said, "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." And Marianne Williamson asked the question that is our talk title decades ago - it's a question that is at least as valid today as then. My playing small does not serve the world - nor, in the long run, me. Let us step up and step out into our real greatness. Let us express our own "Big Magic!"
During June, as we celebrate Pride month, Juneteenth, Pentecost, the beginning of summer and the Islamic New Year, we'll explore what all this invitation to live full out - and fully out - means for each of us. Almost all of us have been "closeted" in some aspect of our lives. It's time to celebrate the incredibleness that we are with our monthly theme of "The Lightness of Being Incredible" supported by Elizabeth Gilbert's fun and wonderful book "Big Magic."
For our first week, titled "In Living Color" (with a nod to the 90's TV show) we examine the kind of life we're living. Do I settle for a black and white life? Or only shades of gray? There's a whole Technicolor world available!
Our weekly Sunday Service explores ideas from many faith traditions and how to live practically as a spiritual person in today's world. We are based on the Science of Mind, (not related to Scientology) the work of Ernest Holmes, one of the best known New Thought teachers and writers of the 1900's. Music, meditation, talk, youth program. We are an open and affirming community for all. We begin with a 15 minute meditation at 10:30. The service, beginning at 11, consists of an opening prayer, meditation, music, talk, and an invitation to support this community. In addition to our in-person, we will livestream to YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgO1a71-xK5o8JL8vMaPbYA

French playwright, novelist, and journalist Emile Zola said, "If you asked me what I came into this world to do, I will tell you I came to live out loud." So many of us have been taught to not be seen or heard. It's time to step out and let our light so shine that people see the real you. This is how we glorify the Infinite Oneness - by letting It shine in, through, and as us! Today, our Youth will help us celebrate by sharing their incredible beingness with us.
