The Broken Heart Thursday, September 3 • 7:30 p.m.Suggested Donation: $25 Love takes courage and integrity. So, you loved, you gave, you cherished and shared everything. You opened your heart and let someone in, sharing your deepest joys and sorrows, daring to let another into your experience; then things changed. They left, or they found someone else, or you did. The grief of a broken heart allows for either new insights to open or a closing down to the flow of life and love ever moving through again. Mother Clare Watts, Christian Master Teacher, will guide you to keeping your heart open through what can feel like a tremendous task in order to stay connected and real with the people around you. Come, heal your heart and live again.
All You Need Is LoveFriday, September 4 • 7 p.m.Location: Mimosa Books & Gifts, 260 W Gilman St, Madison, WI 53703 [map]
Suggested Donation: $25Throughout time, people have been better able to open their minds to the complexities of physics, higher math, and any challenging intellectual venture than to the topics of God and love. Often their eyes glaze over and their minds come to a screeching halt when God and love are spoken of together. God loves you in a personal and real way. God fashioned you to flourish and thrive through a relationship with God. This reality has been forgotten and as a result, people live in fear, sadness, attachment, and worry. The mark of real love and real peace is the absence of these things. Come and learn how to truly accept this love and have an experience of this peace that can springboard you into a new way of living and a new understanding of love.
The Joy of Being SingleSaturday, September 5 • 10 a.m.Suggested Donation: $35
There is so much pressure in our culture to be in a relationship. Why are we not ok just being ourselves? Being single can be a joyful experience of freedom and flexibility. Whether for a season, for a reason, or for a lifetime, the single life can be a regenerating, rejuvenating, and relaxing alternative to relationship-hopping. First, however, you must be happy with your own company and fulfilled with your own endeavors. Otherwise, what have you to bring to a relationship should one arise? Come! Learn to relax into the state of singleness and harvest the joys that spring from it.

Creating Your Life Using the Laws of the Universe
Saturday • 10 a.m.
With Reverend Margaret Klapperich
June 20
Cost: Pre-register for $10. Register at the Door for $15. Call to Register: 414.248.7405
Some of us travel through life knowing we are in charge of our destiny, and that everything in our life is there by our choice. We call ourselves "co-creators." Many people don't want to take such responsibility for their lives and would rather blame others for their situation. Co-creators know, however, that when you take on the responsibility for your life, then you get all the power to change it - to change it into exactly what you want it to be!
So what do you want? A relationship, money, weight loss? Most people do. Ironically, however, once we attain these things we often find that they don't bring the peace and happiness we were expecting. Why is that? Because what we are really seeking in these outer things is actually only satisfied by something much deeper, something inside. It is a real connection to Divine Love that brings all peace, contentment, and happiness. Once we are connected to this Source, then our lives become truly satisfying.
In this seminar you will learn how to use the laws of the universe for your highest good and how to make a connection to the Divine that will bring the fulfillment you have always been seeking.
Come and learn how to be a conscious co-creator - and become empowered to change your life!
Body-Mind-Spirit Classes
Saturdays • 10 a.m.
With Reverend Rebecca Alberts June 6 and 20 August 29 September 12 and 26

Friday Night Lights
Every Friday • 6:30 p.m.
Our summertime gathering, "Friday Night Lights," includes the fabulous combination of guided meditation and grilling out! These summer evenings will each be different as we move with spirit and do anything from drumming, to making smores, to singing around the fire, to playing games. Week to week the event will evolve, but we will always begin with meditating and relaxing into peace. You can expect to leave this gathering with a renewed energy and upliftment that can positively influence the rest of your weekend. So bring something to grill and join us for an amazing way to end your week. Every Friday throughout the summer starting at 6:30 p.m.
Spiritual Community Seminar
Saturday, June 27 • 10 a.m.
Have you noticed how it is easier to meditate in a group, easier and more enjoyable to stay focused and relaxed when you are with a group of like-minded and like-hearted people? Gone are the days of living on mountaintops and deserted lands in order to reach spiritual attainment. Now the time has come to be in community, relating and working on ourselves through the work of relationship. God is inside each person and the goal is to know that God, love that God, and love through that God. Come and awaken to the gift that spiritual community can have in your life and how to find the right one for you. You will be glad you did! Pre-register for $10. Register at the Door for $15. Call to Register: 414.688.0134.
Meditation Seminar
Saturday, August 29 • 10 a.m.
When we get still in our mind, we can draw close to the great source of peace and love. This seminar emphasizes the importance of learning to listen, without distraction, to that "still small voice" within through the practice of meditation. How does one come to this place of spiritual silence and stillness in meditation when our minds are filled with chaos and chatter? In this seminar, learn to quiet your mind and tap into a natural state of rest, peace, joy, and creativity that is possible for everyone. Suggested donation: $10
