For the in-person Mediumship Class on Tuesday, Nov. 30, we will work on exercises to connect to those in spirit and ask them what they want to be most remembered for. Let us connect to those in spirit in a deeper way so they are able to express what they perhaps have truly never expressed fully.

Giving Tuesday

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Join the movement and give – each Tuesday and every day – whether it’s some of your time, a donation, or the power of your voice in your local community.  It’s a simple idea:  whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to give.  https://www.givingtuesday.org/

The Summerland Board has finally decided on having in-person services once a month.  We are proceeding cautiously due to the uptick of Delta variant cases and now have a date for our return to UUFSB for an in-person service: December 4*.  Everyone will need to wear facemasks and follow 6 feet of separation.  Complete protocols for in-person activities will be emailed to all on our list.  We will be streaming the service so people at home can view.  Keep safe, one and all.
* Note that our monthly services will not always be on the first Saturday of the month. The in-person service for January 2022 will be on January 15.

High tide rises in intensity as the midnight LUNAR ECLIPSE brings transparency
We begin this week, November 14th through November 20th, with Moon shifting into Aries, which ignites our desire to take action and to move our ideas into motion.  We will find that many people are spurred to take action from waiting too long and the intensity begins to be felt as many run to catch up to what is now being behind schedule.  Monday and Tuesday come into view as situations are power packed with this fast-moving Aries energy.
Wednesday Mars creates an opposition to the Uranus winds of change, which sees situations change all around us.  For people basing their sense of balance on the outside events, situations will seem to be whirling and people will also seem to be in a similar chaotic state.
As the almost Full Moon rises Thursday evening, the high tide of events and the winds blowing situations about, the level of intensity mirrors the importance of the midnight LUNAR ECLIPSE that is providing a critical perspective. More to read at: alphalifetrends.com

And if you like scientific details...

The Beaver Moon lunar eclipse on Nov. 19 will be the longest of the century. Here are its stages explained.
The next eclipse of the moon will greet early risers before dawn on Friday morning (Nov. 19) across North America.
It will be the second lunar eclipse of 2021 and, in some ways, will be similar to the last one on May 26. Most North Americans will again need to get up early and look low in the west toward daybreak. And again, the farther west you are the better, as the moon will appear much higher from the western part of the continent as opposed to locations farther to the east. It will also be the longest lunar eclipse in 580 years, lasting about 3 hours, 28 minutes and 23 seconds, and also the longest this century.

November’s Leonid meteor shower is known for periodic storms of historic proportions, when shooting stars fall like rain. While no storm is predicted for the 2021 Leonids, you can still catch plenty of meteors from November 6 to 30. The meteor shower peaks the morning of November 17.

•• Online  THURSDAY  Nov. 11: INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION •••

Hi, everyone. On Thursday, November 11, Su Garrison-Terry will be leading the Mediumship Development Meetup. This is her description for this Meetup:
Many of our friends, family, and loved ones who have passed have lived or came from distant shores. In tonight's exercises, we will ask spirits to give us a vision of their foreign homes. While spirits can communicate to us in English, I am asking tonight for them to say a pet name or word in their native language, the word must be known to you. The purpose of tonight's session is to completely trust in what you receive even if it sounds like nonsense.
