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!

Living an Abundant Life
What does “abundance” mean to you? Some might think directly of money or “things” acquired, but abundance is so much more than that! It is a mindset that affirms there is more than enough of everything to go around ~ be it love, happiness, time, success, and yes, money and possessions, if that is what you desire. Paramount to this mindset is also an attitude of gratitude and service, where we are willing to share our abundance and to encourage and celebrate the success of others rather than be threatened by it. Let’s encourage one another to embrace life’s abundance!
“The essence of life does not consist in the lushness of your possessions, but in the richness of your heart.” ~ Roy T. Bennett“Plant seeds of happiness, hope, success, and love; it will all come back to you in abundance. This is the law of nature.” ~ Steve Maraboli
“To fill life with abundance, give with love and accept with gratitude.”
~ Debasish Mridha
