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!

Turning Up the Light:Using Our Voices, Power, and Choices to Shine Brighter
Author Susan Skog is our guest speaker this Sunday! Susan emphasizes, “This is not the time to stay silent and on the sidelines. This is the time to speak love and shine brighter than ever.” She will share stories from her upcoming book on standing up and speaking out, as well as her recent talks at middle/high schools.
In addition, Krisann Meyer-Corcoran and Emma Sloniker will be joining Mark and Colleen with special music to compliment Susan’s talk!
“A voice is a human gift; it should be cherished and used, to utter fully human speech as possible. Powerlessness and silence go together.” ~ Margaret Atwood
“Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.”
~ L.R. Knost
Someone asked me, “What is your religion?” I said, “All the paths that lead to the light.” ~ author unknown

We are thrilled and most grateful to again be chosen by The Mishawaka as a recipient of their Mish’n Booster Grant Program! The Mish is such a great supporter of local music and these funds will be used to help pay our guest musicians at Paths of Heart. Thank you!!
“You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.” — Sarah Ban Breathnach
What are you grateful for today?
