Last Class Tonight

Good morning fellow Mystics.
This is our last class, and what a wonderful mystic experience this has been. I am glad for all of the time we have spent together, for the insights from everyone, and for the connections I have made with all of you, this is the most special thing that I take from this class.

We are having a pot luck, I still don't know what I will bring, so it will be a surprise to us all, also since it is our last class, please bring something for the alter that we will make together.

We have Paul and Marshal sharing their chosen mystic tonight, and a closing ceremonial process to share. I   am so happy to share one more night with you all in this sacred experience of Practical Mysticism.

See you tonight,
Virginia

Week 9

   Good morning my fellow Mystics! Great class last night, wonderful heart felt sharing, love, wisdom, and a collective Mystic consciousness!

Home work is to continue on final projects

This week we focus on "the way of Beauty".

Our questions are:

1. How do you experience the spiritual quality of the beauty in your life?
2. Ask students to share their favorite quotations from the reading?
    (I'm not sure we had any reading this week, but I do seem to remember Robin saying something about reviewing over some of the reading material that spoke to us)

My questions to you are:
What is BEAUTY?
How does it show up in your life?
How do you express as beauty in life?

I leave you with the beautiful song from Mumford and Sons, "Roll away your stone"

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEK! Maybe we'll see you at Wednesday night service :) Virginia
