This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful; in a word, more alive. ~ Alice Waters
Welcome to “Paths of Heart“- a high spirited, heart-centered community where we gather together in music, poetry, commentary, and dialogue to create and nurture joy, compassion, gratitude, and love – in our own lives and throughout the world. Paths of Heart is a 501(c)(3) Human Services/Educational non-profit organization that uses the arts, especially, to encourage and propel seekers of a better, more peaceful world to find ways to serve, while becoming more kind and compassionate human beings.
We welcome you as we collectively and individually explore the sweet mysteries of life – this is an invitation into co-creation! Our gatherings are most every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. at 117 Evans Drive in north Fort Collins. Childcare is available (please let us know ahead of time so we can make arrangements).
We look forward to being with you! Colleen Crosson and Mark Sloniker

Sunday,
March 12th
First off, remember to set your clocks AHEAD before you go to bed Saturday night! Yup, we’re already back to Daylight Saving Time. Next, contemplate what makes your heart soar, and paint that picture in your mind…in your heart. Then, go about creating that in your life! Let’s go on a magical mystery tour….
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” ~ Pablo Picasso“Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people”
~ Leo Burnett
“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last, you create what you will” ~

Looking Ahead/Notes of Interest
March 19th – Roger Funke will lead a discussion on focusing our strengths, based on Tom Rath’s book “Strengths Finder”.
From Roger: “Do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day? All too often, our natural talents go untapped. We devote more time to fixing our shortcomings than to developing our strengths.” Roger will share the benefits of understanding and focusing on your strengths!
There is an online assessment available for those wishing to explore on their own before Roger’s presentation. The cost is $15, and includes a download of the book.

We encourage others to share their experiences/passions and lead a discussion some Sunday. Just let us know if this is something you’d like to do!
New Website! Colleen has been learning the intricacies of WordPress and is finally ready to unveil the new Paths of Heart website! It is a work in progress for sure, but we hope you’ll stop by for a visit! www.pathsofheart.org
