Vision: A Center For Spiritual Living

Brother Ishmael has devoted his life to the transformation of human consciousness through the principles of nature. He joined us at Vision on 4/21/23 and gave a talk "The Master Artist" which he beautifully aligned with this month's theme of "Giant Gentleness."  

This month's theme is "Giant Gentleness." What does it mean to be gently strong? Rev Patti talks about GAP - God's Area of Preparation and how we can grow the "gap" and be able to respond and not react.

How do you start something new that you've never done?  Rev Patti gives tips and tricks on getting started and the mind set you may want to try out.

Going green might not mean what you think it is! There's a popular image in positive psychology. It's a circle and on the left side is the comfort zone and on the right side is the growth zone.  The comfort zone is red and the growth zone is green.  How do we get out of the comfort zone? We'll need to go through the fear zone and the learning zone first.  Listen in to hear what Rev. Patti has to say about it!

We continue March's theme "This is how we've never done it."

This month's theme is "That's how we've never done it."
