Parking Ambassador Program

Hello beloved colleagues,

Our new Parking Ambassador seva program is working.  Demonstrations include but are certainly not limited to:

  • NO vehicle break-ins since we started the program on December 3, 2012;
  • A radical reduction of unwanted / suspicious activity in our parking lots; specifically ZERO incidences this year;
  • Our Parking Ambassadors report gaining an increased sense of peace and acceptance of others;
  • Congregants, class & workshops attendees, staff and visitors alike are increasing their practice of gratitude by saying “Thank you” to our Parking Ambassadors as they arrive and leave our Center;
  • Increased and on-going education of our Parking Ambassadors and our Congregants, class & workshops attendees, staff and visitors alike to situational awareness and listening to our intuitive voice.

The Parking Ambassador seva created an abundance of opportunities for service to our Spiritual community.  While the number of people volunteering for this seva is growing, many more are needed to fill all the coverage times.
I am reaching out to each of you and asking that you take this into your spiritual practice: prayer, mediation, visioning, etc.

If this calls to you come join us.

If you think this might call to someone else, have a conversation with them and send them our way.

If any information / awareness / guidance is revealed to you – share it with us.

At the very least, please know with us, in consciousness, that the volunteers we are seeking are already seeking us and that everything is coming together perfectly to support this program and the safety of our beloved spiritual community.

If you have questions, you can contact me directly at:

(Note: I will be having knee surgery on Friday, February 15 so I might be unavailable or slow to respond for the first week after my surgery)

Blessings beloveds,

Rafe

Jail Ministry Gratitude

  We would like to publicly recognize and celebrate the incredible dedication of Susan Bennett, Rosalie Sulgit-Shay, and Tamarya Hulme - who have tirelessly served in our community’s jail ministry.  For the past six years, these women have committed themselves to visiting incarcerated individuals every week, bringing with them compassion, hope, and spiritual guidance. Their unwavering presence has provided comfort and a sense of dignity to those who are often overlooked, offering a light in some of the darkest moments of these individuals' lives. Their work is a powerful reminder of the impact that loving-kindness, faith, and consistent support can have in transforming lives.  Let us all take a moment to honor and thank them for their extraordinary service and the difference they have made in our community.   Thank you.
