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 hope our paths cross soon!

Sunday,
April 1st
God’s Fool
With it being Easter AND April Fool’s Day, what better part for us all to play than God’s Fool! We’ll look at this term in a decidedly different way than in the traditional, or religious sense, mind you, but we might learn a thing or two from St. Francis of Assisi…
We’ll also have our annual Easter Potluck this Sunday – we hope you can join us!
“For God’s sake give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself!”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson
“Labeled fools to the world are geniuses to the cosmos.” ~ Criss Jami
“It takes more than just awareness for us to change. It takes courage and humility and the willingness to occasionally feel like fools and laugh at ourselves.” ~ Bud Harris

Looking Ahead/Notes of Interest
Sunday, April 1st – We will have our annual Easter Potluck after our regular Sunday gathering. Affirm great spring weather! 🙂 Bring a favorite dish to share and please remember to bring your own (washable) plates and utensils (our intention is for near zero waste). We’ll provide cups, cloth napkins and various beverages.
We had another great gathering of harmonious singers at our Singing Circle on Tuesday night! Our next “circle of song” will be Tuesday, May 1st, starting at 7 pm. Love offerings to Paths of Heart will be gratefully accepted.
We invite you to visit our website, www.pathsofheart.org. There you’ll find past newsletters, a newsletter sign-up form, more about our organization, a photo gallery, and a ‘donate’ button, for those who prefer to donate to our non-profit with a credit card . Stop by for a visit and please share with friends!

‘Gratitudes’
Spring has sprung and we are (still!) giddy with gratitude for the multitude of flowers and greenery breaking through the brown leafy mulch! Colleen’s been busy cleaning up the gardens and discovering more new life. Enjoy!
“Nature’s beauty is a gift that cultivates appreciation and gratitude.” ~ Louie Schwartzberg

The carport area is reserved for folks with special parking needs. Out of respect for our neighbors, we ask that you kindly refrain from parking on Evans Drive beyond our property line.
