In a conversation with a friend who'd been diagnosed with throat cancer, the words "Let the People Who Love You, Love You" came to guest speaker Edie Weinstein. Sharing it with him helped him to accept support from the people in his life, in any way they knew how. Love is the ultimate healer and if we let it in, it can work wonders.

Words are important! Words allow us to communicate with other people, and more importantly allow us to clearly describe our desired experience in our Practical Prayers. Rev. Bill Marchiony emphasizes the importance of saying what we mean, and meaning what we say.

A study by the Pew Research Center on religion found that 22% of people in the US consider themselves Spiritual but not Religious. The dry term they usually use is SBNR, but this time the term "irreligious" was used, too.  Rev. Bill dives in with gusto to see what we can make of irreligiousity.

We wrap up the year with a special ceremony, using white stones imported from Jerusalem to set an intention for the Good that we're inviting into our lives in 2024. It's a beautiful way to ring in the new year. If you’d like a Jerusalem stone, please email the office so we can get one to you! It's part of the fifth Sunday Healing Celebration, where Rev. Bill Marchiony and the Practitioner Core lead us in a deep and profound process through which we all gain greater insight into our connection with Spirit.

In our increasingly polarized society, there's a tendency to point to things we dislike that others are doing or saying, and talk about how bad or dangerous it is. Rev. Bill Marchiony invites us all into a pivot, with ideas about how to claim — and experience — the Good that we desire. 

We are all creative, even if we don't make sculpture or work at jobs that are labeled "creative". Rev. Bill Marchiony and the members of our Artist's Way group share insight and encouragement on the ways each of us can tap into the spark of creativity within us.

There is a difference between wishful thinking and having someone say "as you wish". Rev. Bill Marchiony dives into the difference, and the ways we can change our beliefs to make our wishes become our reality.

When an event is coming up we can prepare by methodically ticking off the items that need to come together, or we can dive in with energy and enthusiasm. Rev. Bill Marchiony investigates how we can bring joy and delight to something that might have just felt like work.

Gratitude is a feeling we can have, and also a way of being.

On Thanksgiving weekend, Rev. Bill Marchiony talks about gratitude as a key step in a Practical Prayer, and a powerful anchor in our spiritual lives.

Our lives can flow gently down the stream, or we can feel like we're swimming against the current. Rev. Bill Marchiony explores the ways that water moves our imagination and can help carry us to rich and joyous new experiences.

In the real estate business, the importance of "Location!" supersedes almost everything. Rev. Bill points out that the same thing is true in our own lives, with "location" creating our unique perspectives, challenges, and opportunities.

It’s possible that the precocious child in the fairy tale was a demanding brat - and criminal - OR was a powerful metaphysician. Rev. Bill Marchiony explores how one or both of these could be true.

Bill Marchiony and the Practitioner Core lead us in a deep and profound process through which we all gain greater insight into our connection with Spirit. It includes a powerful interactive Healing Prayer for everyone present.

There is a saying that you can't pour from an empty cup. It's used in the self-help world, and for care providers, as a reminder that we can only give so much without being filled. Rev. Bill Marchiony explores how we can partner with Spirit so that our æcup runneth over".
