Samurai Song

Enjoy today's World Prayer, and join us March 24th to celebrate spiritual paths of the world in song and prayer.

When I had no roof I made
Audacity my roof. When I had
No supper my eyes dined.

When I had no eyes I listened.
When I had no ears I thought.
When I had no thought I waited.

Interfaith Events in NYC on 9/11

Here's an update from One Spirit 2nd year student Lisa Bellan-Boyer on interfaith events happening on Sept 11th in NYC.

Thank you all for your prayers and support over the past weeks. Here are some links to media stories and coverage of some of the interfaith events around the WTC site over the anniversary and in the face of the magnified controversy over Park 51.

The newly-formed coalition, NY Neighbors for American Values (for more info: http://nyneighbors.org/) really came together and it was a big success -- over 2,000 people attended, by all consensus of the crowd estimates. Attached is a camera photo taken from the stage by one of the staff members of Common Cause, so you can see what it looked like.

Focusing on the Spirit Module in our Mentors and Ministers Programs

So how do we encompass everything into a scalable, coherent practice for your growth? That is the genius of ILP.

From Lynne Feldman

We have chosen INTEGRAL LIFE PRACTICE: A 21st Century Blueprint for Physical Health, Emotional Balance, Mental Clarity, and Spiritual Awakening as one of the 2 required texts for the STATES AND STAGES course which begins Oct. 16-17, 2010 at One Spirit. An INTEGRAL LIFE PRACTICE, known as an "ILP", is a personal growth program that lives with you throughout your life, every day, and changes as you change in developing to your fullest capacities. As you live within these practices, you come to embrace your greatest freedom from the world of suffering, limitation, and insufficiency, and also to embrace your greatest fullness of being in the world to act and contribute as a coherent self no hindered by fragmented and repressed parts of yourself.
