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

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

Science of Mind Archives Relocated and Reopened

I have wanted to visit Unity Village since I first became aware of it, and being at the opening celebration of the Science of Mind archives gave me a perfect opportunity to do that. I am in awe and appreciation for those who have gathered and found a way to preserve the teachings of Ernest Holmes in such a special place that I found Unity Village to be. At the celebration dinner, it was interesting to hear the presentations of those who spoke not only of the early days of Ernest Holmes but also of the Science of Mind magazine. Many of us no doubt remember our first introduction to Science of Mind, as I certainly do. For me, it was the Science of Mind magazine through which I then found the church. At the archive,s it was fun to be able to read and photograph the page from the Science of Mind magazine on the day I was born. How easy it is to take what we have for granted, and as I reflect with appreciation for the teaching and the preservation of the archives, I ask myself what am I doi...

Something New: Volunteer Recognition Team at the Center

As the name implies, the Volunteer Recognition Team (VRT) was created to recognize and acknowledge the numerous groups of volunteers who devote their time, energy, and hearts in support of the Center. Some groups are visible, some work more quietly, behind the scenes. For instance, did you know that the Jail Ministry group provides books and Spiritual Coaching to inmates in Sonoma County? Or that Project Sleep Warm works all year long to produce and distribute quilts to those in need? Starting in July of this year, one volunteer group a month will be recognized for their support of the Center. You will see their table in the social hall, and will be given a flyer upon entering the sanctuary explaining what they do, and any help they may need. Don’t miss the video of a volunteer from that group explaining how being part of the group has touched their lives. The video will be presented at the end of the first service of the month and posted on the Center’s social media. This year, ...
