Blast from the Past: Deciphering a Blurry Memory from 2006


Hello, everyone!

In today's edition of "Blast from the Past," we're presented with a unique challenge. We have a photo from 2006, but there's a catch - it's blurry. Despite the lack of clarity, this image holds a piece of our shared history, and I believe together, we can uncover the story behind it.

The photo might be a bit fuzzy, but it captures a moment in time, a snapshot of our community's journey. Perhaps with some collective effort and a bit of detective work, we can identify the people in the picture. 

Think back to 2006 – what events, gatherings, or milestones were happening in our community? Who were the key figures around that time? Your recollections might provide valuable context that could help in identifying the people in the photo.

This exercise isn't just about identifying faces from a blurry image; it's about reconnecting with our past, no matter how unclear it may seem. It's about piecing together the fragments of our history and celebrating the journey we've shared as a community.

Let's embrace this blurry trip down memory lane and see what memories and stories we can revive. Share your guesses, recollections, and any anecdotes from 2006 in the comments below. Together, we can bring this fuzzy picture into clearer focus.

Looking forward to your insights and stories!

Best regards,

Edward Viljoen, Senior Minister
Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa

    Looks like Linda Webb Khakaba at the piano and probably Paul Sarran on bass. Maybe Cricket (Astra Fox) singing?

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.

Blast from the Past: Rediscovering Connections within Our Larger Community

Hello everyone! In today's "Blast from the Past" feature, we're exploring more than just a photo from our archives; we're diving into the heart of our larger community. This image captures a group of individuals who represent a specific community within our community. But who are they, and what special group do they belong to?

Nick Carico and The Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa

In this video, our drummer, Nic Carico, shares his personal journey of how playing music at the Center became much more than just a gig. He recounts how he started playing in April 2021 after being invited by Chris, a connection made through Sonoma State University. Initially drawn to the music, he soon realized that the Center provided a deeper sense of community and personal growth. After briefly leaving to join a wedding band, he felt the absence of the Center's influence and returned in 2022. Beyond the music, the experience has led him to develop affirmations that have positively impacted his self-talk and relationships. He expresses deep gratitude for the past two years of being part of the band and his meaningful connections with the speakers and the audience. How has the Center touched your life?  Please share your story in the comments.
