A new vision of your highest potential and a greater sense of personal power.
A new understanding of spiritual law and your partnership with Spirit.
A greater appreciation for the goodness of life and freedom from the past.
A new way of living that will keep you in the flow of true abundance.

The “Keys” course uses an audio program and workbook to teach the spiritual tools of affirmative prayer, vision, forgiveness, proactive gratitude, affirmations and journaling to strengthen your creative partnership with Spirit.

Write Your Story
2022-07-17 11:30 - 12:30, 2022-06-26 11:30 - 12:30
An experience of writing your life stories
Group-led. Register for the Zoom event:
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUrcuyvpzkvEtYeWTm-bFptEflBRFLmjK1l
Stories, memories, tales of the past, call them what you will, memories matter. History paints a broad picture of the world, national and local times, and events but says little about the individuals who lived through those times. Memories are not experiences to be relived and constantly aired, but to be looked at learned from, and shared so the future may see how life used to be.
Each month this group comes together to develop writing skills, inspire each other, and share stories. A topic for writing is chosen by the group at the end of each session. Each session is group-facilitated.
Materials; Journal, Life is a Song, Sing It by Joyce Riley (Optional)
