My purpose in life is to reveal love in everything we do. I’m not talking about unicorns and rainbows love, but the power of Love to always lead us to the highest and the best expression of God that we can be.
Maybe you can relate to my experience; the moment I walked into a Center for Spiritual Living I knew I was home. That first day back in September of 2001 when the world wasn’t making sense, in a Center like this one, I found not only comfort and solace but a resonance to a way of life that felt both mystical and practical.
Life can be a mixed bag with all the demands on our time and attention, sometimes it can be challenging to remember who we truly are and why we’re here. In spiritual community we support each other as we find our way and reflect back to each other the things that are real and important that help us stay in balance with our true nature. That, in my opinion, is what being in community is all about.
What a blessing to be invited to be your Spiritual Director. This September we begin our adventure together. I look forward to getting to know you personally and as a community over the coming months. I have so much to learn from each of you and I trust that together we will explore what is next for this beloved community. Together we’ll pave the way to our next yet to be and I trust that Love will lead our way.
Peace and blessings to us all!
Love,
Rev. Alice Reid

A few years ago, I received an unexpected check in the mail with a letter from Rev. Karyn Allen. We had traded services and I provided her with senior portraits for her daughter. Since I considered it an even trade, I didn’t expect a payment, so I was surprised when I received an unexpected check…
