Jacque Hansen - Why I Serve

I love to volunteer with a heartfelt intention of cultivating more possibilities in people's lives, and in the animal/plant kingdoms.......... more possibility of freedom, peace, love and respect.!

Jacque Hansen, RScP.

Thank you Jacque for your heart of service and demonstrating the profound spiritual benefits of volunteering.

In a world often consumed by self-interest and materialistic pursuits, finding a sense of purpose and fulfillment can be a challenging endeavor. However, one powerful avenue that offers both personal growth and the opportunity to make a positive impact is volunteering. Beyond the practical benefits of volunteering, such as acquiring new skills or building a professional network, there are profound spiritual advantages that can nourish the soul. Engaging in selfless acts can bring about a transformative experience.

When we immerse ourselves in the act of volunteering, we encounter various people from diverse walks of life, often facing challenging circumstances. This exposure cultivates gratitude as we gain a deeper appreciation for our own blessings and privileges. Witnessing the resilience and strength of individuals facing adversity helps us develop empathy and compassion for others. By understanding their struggles and connecting with their stories, we become more open-hearted and sensitive to the needs of our fellow human beings.

Thank you, Jacque, for loving and serving your Center for Spiritual Living community and the world.

What I Love About Being a Volunteer - Mary Ann Granieri

"I’ve always loved using my talents to contribute in some way to my community. It brings me a sense of satisfaction and well-being to help create, nurture, and sustain a healthy spiritual community that in turn supports and sustains so many others, individually as well as those in our local and global communities. Volunteering at the Center has allowed me to meet new people in a way that’s been easy and fun. A spirit of camaraderie easily develops as we collaborate on a common goal. I’ve developed dear friendships with some of the people I’ve met volunteering. It’s also created an opportunity to work with and get to know many of the talented and hard-working staff and ministers who are so dedicated to this Center. My appreciation for CSLSR and for everyone who contributes to it has grown immensely as I’ve glimpsed a bit of what goes on behind the scenes. As I’ve been able to contribute and create by volunteering, I’ve also received much. I feel truly seen, valued, and appreciated....

What I Love About Being a Volunteer - Bette Smith

"I love volunteering at the Center because I get so much in return. I meet new and interesting people and connect with people I haven’t seen in years. I like working behind the scenes so I help Allan Yeager with some parts of the website which is a job I can do from home. I work in the bookstore where I’m surrounded by beautiful items for sale. And I love teaching classes because I have benefited so much from all the classes I’ve taken. Coming to the Center for over twenty five years has changed my life. I love giving back my beloved Center that has fed me and helped me grow." -Bette Smith
