An invitation to friends

twinkles-place-11-9-16-invite-uu

An invitation for my friends.

This is the meditation room in my home.  I open this and my home up to friends when they need a quiet place to sit, gather their thoughts, connect with their hearts, either in solitude or in small group ritual.  

I often host gatherings in my home honoring my own Unitarian Universalist spiritual traditions and explore the mystery of living on this planet.  

I also welcome friends from various faiths and traditions to come lead workshops, retreats, meditations and concerts.

If you feel called to gather together for any of these, let me know and I am happy to host.

Or, if you desire to simply have a place to come, sit and reflect, I offer my home for that too. 

Love,

~ Twinkle

New Moon meets the Dark Season

As we enter the dark season, is with a heart filled with the kind of light only the dark season can provide, I wish you every blessing of this month’s new moon.

We will also have some Día de los Muertos coloring sheets and an Ofrenda (Day of the Dead altar) set up for the weekend to explore this sacred time blending Orion’s Mexican Heritage of Día de los Muertos with my tradition of Samhain.  We will light candles to bring light to this dark season and to light the way for our ancestors.

  • Ofrenda means “offering” – should your child wish to bring something to place on the altar, please have them do so.

I was so fortunate to spend time with Pat and Sandy last week.  They sang this song Pat wrote many years ago. It has been my constant reminder this week as Life continues to present immense blessings along with evidence of the brokenness that persists in our world.  

May I greet each, the blessings and the brokenness, with grace and acceptance and love.

Forward we go.  

We are all swimming to the other side.
