* Because of the COVID-19 virus pandemic we will be circling in an online virtual space via ZOOM. I will be posting the link in the event and on the facebook page.

Hello Dear Sisters and fellow Priestesses! This will be the fourth in our red tent-celebrating the 5 elements series! If you couldn’t make it to the first, no worries there is no requirement to attend them all. This month the new moon will be in Taurus, so we we be honoring the element of Earth. We will be using some rituals and readings from Daniel Dulsky’s “The Holy Wild”. Feel free to purchase the book if you would like (its AMAZING), but it is not necessary :).

Please arrive wearing red, and be prepared to enter sacred space with your sisters. Adorn yourself for this circle my sisters, you will be attending a “wedding”, and you will be the bride. You will be marrying yourself my Queen! Dedicating YOUR life to YOU and the Earth that is you! Please bring an item to your alter to be blessed that represents what “Earth” and “Taurus” means to you :). I also recommend bringing a nice plump pomegranate or red apple to the meeting. We will be eating them as a symbolic gesture honoring our initiation and journey. I also recommend taking a nice hot ritual bath with salts and oils before attending, it will help to further ingrain the luxurious taurus energy, cleanse your energy field, and help to root you into your soft animal body, further preparing you for circle. Of course these are not requirements, just suggestions to help you embody this energy:)))!

I do a lot of planning, reading, meditating, writing, and buying sacred items for our circles. This is why I am humbly asking for donation based contributions. To those that are financially affected by this virus, please know your presence will be your gift. To those that still have the means, I humbly ask for your support. Suggested donation will be $5-$20 :). Thank you so much in advance for your contributions to the sisterhood. It’s because of community that we are able to gather and strengthen one another

Hello everyone! Welcome to the sisterhood.

Please join our practice circle. We will take turns going around the circle (on zoom) where someone in the group will ask the group a question and volunteers can take turns answering.

In this series of Virtual Goddess Channeling and Alignment Circles, we will work with shamanic technologies to connect with multidimensional Beings of Light to receive support throughout our current global paradigm shift. We will tap into energy streams of Quantum Light frequencies to raise our vibrations and receive messages from Kuan Yin, Mother Mary, Pele, Kali and other Transformative Goddesses who are lovingly here to assist us as we move through any energetic obstructions to fulfill our greatest potential. Learn how to access and divinely nourish yourself with the Quantum Light during this special Virtual Goddess event.

This week we will journey to the sacred Peru, receiving Pachamama’s blessings and a Light Language transmission from Machu Picchu.

“Broken Bridges: Building Community in a World Divided by Beliefs” will be presented by Chris Highland at the Sunday, August 16, 2020 meeting of the Ethical Humanist Society of Asheville, 2:30-4:00 PM by Zoom videoconference. Zoom connection info at EHSAsheville.org. All are welcome to attend.

Chris will select several true stories from his new book, Broken Bridges, drawn from years as a chaplain in jails and shelters. He will reflect on the wisdom of the “unheard” as well as insights from well-known voices like Frederick Douglass and the Dalai Lama. His book is an invitation to wider thinking for secular people and for those who still believe. The presentation and discussion should provide ample insights toward repairing, rebuilding, or even replacing old structures of belief that stand in the way of true progressive reform.

Chris is a Humanist Celebrant and Freethinker who served as a Presbyterian Minister and Interfaith Chaplain for many years in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is the author of Broken Bridges, A Freethinker’s Gospel, My Address is a River and other books. He teaches at UNC-Asheville (Reuter Center), Blue Ridge Community College and writes the weekly “Highland Views” column for the Asheville Citizen-Times. He has a Master’s Degree from San Francisco Theological Seminary and a B.A. in Philosophy and Religion from Seattle Pacific University. He has directed and managed several non-profit organizations providing emergency shelter and cooperative housing for independent seniors.

Chris lives in Asheville with his wife Carol Hovis, a Presbyterian minister and Enneagram teacher. See www.chighland.com for more information.

The Ethical Humanist Society of Asheville endeavors to nurture the capacity and responsibility of human beings to act in their personal relationships and in the larger community to help create a better world. We are inspired by the ideal of working to create a more humane society, recognizing each person’s worth and dignity, and helping to bring out the best in him or her. We are a member of the American Ethical Union and an affiliate of the American Humanist Association. We join together to assist each other in developing ethical ideas and ideals, to celebrate life’s joys, support each other through life’s crises, and to cultivate ethical behavior in our community.

In this 6-part webinar series, “Deepening your Meditation Practice” — we will explore and teach the art and science behind meditation for healthy living. Each session includes meditation instructions and time to meditate. The series builds one upon the other, but each class stands on its own. This series has been presented around the world, and, for the first time, we are offering it online. An experienced facilitator will guide you through the techniques that will help you succeed in meditation. Join us as we explore a simple, powerful practice that can transform your life

6th Session: Practicing Meditation for Lasting Happiness — and how that can help our meditation practice. This class offers you unique tips and techniques to deepen your meditation practice. After you have been meditating daily, you notice the peace you find in meditation has begun to extend to those around you. You discover that the love you are experiencing is radiating to your friends and family. People remark on the difference they find in you. You smile more and realize how much your life has been transformed. An experienced facilitator of meditation will guide you with techniques and strategies to help you learn to meditate accurately.

Note that you do not have to attend all classes — as each one is independent and covers the basics of the meditation technique. We also leave ample time to meditate during each session — so you can put into practice what is being taught.

How can we change the pattern in which the cultural expression of the majority dominates other cultures?

This Devotional will include prayers and music, connecting with our spiritual nature, and illuminating the oneness of humanity.

A Zoom link will be sent in advance to those who register.

On Thursday, September 17, 2020 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm the Center will discuss the second film in our Reel Spirit Film Project series—The Truman Show (1998), a comedy/drama/science fiction film starring Jim Carrey, Ed Harris, and Laura Linney, and directed by Peter Weir. This movie is an allegory dealing with timeless questions and dilemmas: Is each of us alone? Who is really in control? What or who pulls our strings? Can we break the illusion? If so, what will it take to do so? Join us for a discussion of the life and decisions of Truman Burbank and how these might relate to our own lives.
