••• (Zoom this week) TUESDAY 10/5: FINDING LOST OBJECTS •••
Hi, everyone. This Tuesday, October 5, this Meetup will be on Zoom and Su Garrison-Terry will be directing the class. This is her description for the class: BEFORE CLASS: Please select two easily identifiable objects and place them somewhere in your home. One common query to mediums is to locate lost objects such as a will, insurance policy, or piece of jewelry, however, mediums have used it to locate more mundane objects such as eyeglasses, keys, and cellphones. The purpose of this class is to use our psychic and/or mediumship to locate an object in your home. Exercises will center around locating an object hidden in your client's home. If you have a real missing object, our final group exercise will be to try to locate it. This is the link to this class: • Mediumship Meetup Zoom invitation: When: Tuesday,October 5, @ 07:30 PM EST US and Canada Register in advance for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMuc-ChrzkqE9XnEj8MSJGqArNRVtp9_8jT > After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

We are asking for love donations at this time during our online church services to support our work and to allow us to continue through these troubling times. We are not meeting in person so can't pass around the offering plate to help us with ongoing operating expenses that need to be paid: partial rent, full insurance, Zoom fees, payment to the national organization, to name a few. https://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/payments--donations.html Scroll to 'Online Church Service'. 
The Summerland Board has been considering return to in-person services. We are proceeding cautiously due to the uptick of Delta variant cases and are looking to begin a once-a-month service in the coming months.
When the date and protocol we all must follow are finalized, we will advise everyone of the date. Keep safe, one and all. REMINDER: If you have not already done so, please send us your replies to the 'In-Person Survey' (emailed on Sept. 23) by October 9 at the latest. This survey is very important for the continuance of in-person services.

Love Amongst the Snows, Margaret Winifred Tarrant (1888-1959)
Mercury Retrograde Sept 27 to Oct 18 in Libra
This is from We'Moon Lunar News and the Grace Within newsletter by Raven Moondance. A lot of people are noticing MR. That's why our Internet provider was on the blink last week. (it gets hairy a few days before the start.) This is a Time to Take it Slow "Don't rush your decisions. Take time to formulate your most compassionate words. Get curious and investigate the potent and magical happenings around you. Give yourself time to contemplate the deep mysteries in your life and in the world around you. This Mercury Retrograde cycle may just be the excuse you have been looking for to take a nice long refreshing break—some alone-time." (from We'Moon Lunar News) Five planets are presently in Retrograde--Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto and Uranus. "These retrogrades ask us not to push forward but to hold our ground, renew, garden, and review the events of the year. Take time to investigate, fix mistakes, clarify problems and fine-tune future plans." (from We'Moon 2021) Retrogrades are opportunities to re-examine, re-work and re-do various aspects of our life. It's like being given a second chance. We all know that we cannot just continue to push, push, push forward without taking a break now and then. Well, the Universe provides us with downtimes for inner renewal time every day or two when the Moon goes into void-of-course (a rest time between signs) and also whenever a planet goes into Retrograde. When we are unaware, we may feel thwarted, frustrated or confused. Paying attention to retrogrades and moon v/c can help us flow more easily with the natural pace of life. With so many planets in Retro and with the inward energy of the Fall, step back and notice what is coming up for you. Pay attention and do whatever is needed to acknowledge, delve into and begin to heal old issues. Libra asks us to look at our relationships--where is peace, harmony, love, connection missing? What needs to change in our beliefs, patterns, ideas and perceptions to create more love, peace and harmony in our interacts with those in our life? Mercury presently squaring Pluto may serve to bring up very old, even karmic issues. We call upon the Hindu Goddess Kali Ma--the Goddess of time, creation, preservation and destruction during Libra to assist us in breaking free and transforming old aspects of our being both personally and collectively. When Mercury is in Retro, we move from being in the linear, logical mind to a more intuitive, higher-mind expanded consciousness. Ask for guidance in your prayers, meditation and dreams and listen...Open to new and innovative ways of living life and to your higher purpose or calling.

Sat. & Sun. October 23 & 24 Arthur Findlay College Autumn Open Weekend Online 
https://www.arthurfindlaycollege.org
https://www.tickettailor.com/events/arthurfindlaycollege/ International Open Weekend Online offers a unique glimpse of the classes, workshops, lectures and much more. You will get the opportunity to listen, practice, and learn from a selection of the world class tutors that teach at the College. While the AFC remains temporarily closed due to the pandemic, our world class tutors have created a range of online courses to give you a taster of the College residential courses, all available to you from the comfort of your own home. Raising Funds This online event has been organised to help raise funds for the College. We welcome you to take a course and make a donation. Your donation will help us maintain and look after the Arthur Findlay College and grounds, a place that many people love and refer to as their spiritual home. From Valerie: After the worship service last Saturday, Karen shared that she took advantage of the classes and lectures given last year at the Arthur Findlay College Open Weekend event. She mentioned that assessments of your spiritual progress could be obtained for a token fee. Sadly it appears that the prices for individual assessments have been raised to BP45, the equivalent of $61.83 USD. These are 30 minutes of one-on-one time with the medium or tutor who would give a view of your present mediumistic or healing state of being and offer some advice. There are interesting classes and lectures, however, starting at BP5, or $6.84. If you go to the second link above, you’ll see a whole list of hourlong classes for 5BP. Workshops are two hours in length and cost BP30 or $41.02. What looks good to you? It could be “A Spiritual tour of the Life between Lives” with Tim Smith, Trance Healing Altered States with Andrj Djordjevitch, The Shaman Medium, Healer, Teacher with Maureen Murnan, Physical Mediumship—Still Alive Today with Carol Ellis, Building the Power with Penny Hayward. Take a look and see what perks our interest! There is also a Science lecture and one on Reincarnation! Janet Nohavec is offering a lecture on Seership and Prophecy! When you sign up for a lecture, there is also a separate space for making a contribution to the college itself. This is a fundraiser, after all. Private readings are also available for BP45, 30 minutes in length. Check all times carefully if you sign up for a lecture, class, or workshop. Some fees are not refundable. Look at a time converter to be sure. For example, 13:00 British time (1 PM there) is 8 AM here). It would be the same as subtracting 5: 13 (Britain) - 5 = 8 (New York). PayPal or your credit card will automatically convert pounds to US dollars. Thanks to Karen for sharing this information! Let us know if you sign up for any of the lectures.

Harvest Moon - Full moon in Pisces 
Photo by Conrad Ziebland on Unsplash
Neptune, the planet of illusions, dreams, and intuition is very active under this Full Moon. This is due to the fact that it falls only 7 degrees away from the Full Moon. Whenever Neptune is active, it can create some foggy energy. We may feel like we are wading through a thick forest, unable to see what is ahead. It may be harder to make decisions or to think with a clear mind. Neptune can also evoke our emotions, allowing us to see what is bubbling beneath the surface. Under its presence, we may not be able to analyze what we feel, instead we may just find ourselves ebbing and flowing between one feeling space and the next. Under a watery Full Moon like this one, it is best if we navigate it with our heart on our sleeve. Trying to understand things with our rational mind may just add to the confusion. But, if we let our thought processes go for a moment, and instead slip into a place of feeling, we may just be able to intuit the answers we are seeking. More to read at : |
