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

Ouroboros
Suzanne Rouge will be our guest speaker this Sunday. Her talk will include a discussion on Ouroboros ~ one of the oldest mystical symbols in the world, depicting a snake swallowing its own tail. In alchemy, it symbolizes continuous renewal. Suzanne notes that “transmuting toxic thought into lasting transformation is an inner process we can tend to daily in order to reclaim life force energy for creative pursuits.” She will lead us through an ancient Incan breathwork technique that allows us to do just that. Suzanne is an educator, reflexologist, artist, and author now living in Colorado’s San Luis Valley.
“Transformation isn’t a future event, it’s a present day activity. “
~ Jillian Michaels
“Whatever awakens you to your alchemist is the elixir you need.”
~ Iva Kenaz
“Transformation literally means going beyond your form.” ~ Wayne Dyer

Looking Ahead/Notes of Interest
Saturday, June 30th, 7 pm – “Paths of Heart Presents…” House Concert with Portland, OR folk-rock artist Olivia Awbrey. Since releasing her debut EP, Fight or Fight (2017), Olivia has garnered attention in the folk and psych-rock communities in the US and the UK. Unafraid to blur lines between folk, psych and punk, her songs and voice have been likened to Esme Patterson and Liz Phair.
Exploring themes as ordinary as grocery store check out lines and as extreme as the formation of Pangea or the aftermath of a feminist mutiny at the White House, Olivia continues to draw in listeners throughout the US and Europe.While intermittently recording her sophomore release, due out early 2019, Olivia is on tour in the US this spring and summer, and England this September. Listen to Olivia’s music at: https://oliviaawbrey.bandcamp.com
