This feels like a great place to spend some time. Yesterday, I hosted the Honolulu Noetic Science Gathering. For our opening meditation, we shared our thoughts and gratitude for 'our saints'...many people lifted up Matthew Fox, as one of their saint…

How about a place we can share our stories & ideas about service to others & give/receive support in the process, whether it's part of our paid or volunteer work?

Thanks Matt. Matthew Fox was in Hawaii last week. We had time for a long conversation. We spoke about his ONE RIVER MANY WELLS...I'm really looking forward to next summer. I hope to bring people from Hawaii.

George, thanks for the book. Looks great. I do find it interesting that even to this day, the use/abuse of women is not included when the traditional male heroes virtues are show cased. I think Jesus looks great on this subject. He really did not ab…

MATTHEW FOX ON THE CONSCIOUSNESS CRUISE

Matthew was beyond awesome on the Consciousness Cruise to Alaska. The IONS Cruise had 111 from all over the USA and Canada. Matthew gave four major presentations. He was well received! Some people had not heard him before. The CEO of The Institute of Noetic Science was also a presenter.

Photos will be posted later.

Aloha,
Jo An Gaines co director of the cruise

Favorite books

Love this blog.....I'm enjoying books (fiction/non fiction) about community. Picked up 'Friday Night Knitting Club (or Group, can't remember).....it is fiction. I loved it....the story is about a group of women, young and old, who come together every Friday night to knit....they become a community!! I'd love to create/belong to a group of women who knit or do crafts.....much like the old fashion quilting bee......do any of you belong to a group?

Sharing Creation Spirituality with clarity

I've just completed a Meditation Class at Unity Honolulu. I kept coming back to the principles of Creation Spirituality in every meditation I did. Each day I did a walking meditation and focused on one of the twelve principles. I'm writing on each principle for the class assignment. Awesome experience. Combining Eckhart Tolle's insights with Creation spirituality (Matt Fox) is totally life changing.

Jo......My husband and I loved the Friday Night Knitting Club. We also like the books by Eckhart Tolle. We live in the Phoenix, AZ area. Do you know of any groups around here that focus on Creation Spirituality? We live in the desert and it also feels like a spiritual desert. Thanks, Joan Spittler

Of course, Jo an. That would be lovely. My phone is 902.634.4823 but I don't expect you will keep track of it until fall, so drop me an email when you're going to be here, and I will be happy to make arrangements. Have you studied with Apela in Hawaii? Best to you

Create your own custom glitter graphic! Hi Jo An!

Is always great to meet another person with an interest in Tolle. we are just finishing A New Earth in my online bookclub and hopefully will be doing The Power of Now next. I did manage to access the webinars with Tolle on Oprah. I didn't think to download them to my ipod, maybe something to do. He is such a beautiful spirit and manages to give a few giggles which is always nice. I am in the UK so I don't think I even know where N.C. is ;)

Great to meet you!

Blessings,

Julieanne
