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,
October 14th
Community
It feels like our chosen communities are our saving grace these days ~ our “safe place” as we sang about last Sunday…a place of tolerance, acceptance, and love where we can be ourselves and feel supported. What roles do your various ‘communities’ have in your lives?
And what better way to celebrate our Paths of Heart community than with a potluck, immediately following our gathering! Details are below in the “Looking Ahead/Notes of Interest” section. See you Sunday!
“The need for connection and community is primal, as fundamental as the need for air, water, and food.”~ Dean Ornish
“I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort, where we overlap.”
~ Ani DiFranco
“We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community.” ~ Dorothy Day

Looking Ahead/Notes of Interest
Sunday, October 14th – Our next community potluck (immediately following our gathering)! The weather forecast does not look great, so we’ll probably be inside (we’ll even crank up the wood stove for an extra cozy feel!). Bring a yummy dish to share if possible, and also remember to bring your own washable plate and utensils, as we aim for zero waste (we do have extras if you forget!). We’ll provide cups, cloth napkins, and a variety of beverages. Let’s ‘break bread’ together!
Tuesday, October 23rd – Our next Song Circle, 7 pm. Bring your voice and an instrument if you’d like. We come together to sing songs of joy, love, peace, hope, kindness ~ whatever lifts us up! We’ll have tea and a few snacks to share. Love offerings to Paths of Heart are gratefully received.
King Soopers Neighborhood Reward Gift Cards – We are excited to have joined King Soopers fundraising gift card program! When you use your Paths of Heart Gift Card, 5% of your total purchases are rewarded to Paths of Heart. It does not cost you anything extra – simply load your gift card at the check-out with any amount (up to $500) before you buy your groceries. We have cards with an initial amount of $10 loaded on them. This is a really easy way to support Paths of Heart! Thank you!

Should those areas become full, please park out on Hwy 1, which has plenty of space and a nice wide shoulder. Please watch for cars as you are exiting and entering your vehicle, though! 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. Car pooling is encouraged. We also have a bike rack for cyclists!
