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,
May 20th
Spontaneity!
I don’t really know what the topic is for this Sunday! Mark and Myles will be off at a recording session, and I (Colleen) will be “coordinating” the morning. Nothing in particular was coming to mind, so I think we’re just going to gather up and see where it leads. Or “spontaneity” could BE the topic! Several folks have stepped up to help, so we’ll have extra music with Elizabeth and Al, and Judi will play flute and piano. Come have fun with us!
“Only in spontaneity can we be who we truly are.” ~ Mahavishnu John McLaughlin
