You are one thing only. You are a Divine Being. An all-powerful Creator. You are a Deity in jeans and a t-shirt, and within you dwells the infinite wisdom of the ages and the sacred creative force of All that is, will be and ever was.

There were many special memories from our most recent events here at Sunburst!

We had a full house for the Winter Solstice: Meditation & Labyrinth Walk, and our Light & Renewal Kriya Yoga Meditation Retreat. While last weekend, music and camaraderie filled the air at our All Clans Flute Gathering.

If you missed these opportunities to connect, join us at Sunday Service. After meditation, enjoy a light brunch, stroll the Sanctuary grounds, and take in the stunning view of the hills that have come to life after the heavy rain. Each hilltop is covered in a vibrant green; it's truly a spectacular sight to see!

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action -
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
~Rabindranath Tagore

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.
If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.
~ Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.

The more you struggle to live, the less you live. Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing. Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure....you are above everything distressing.
~ Spinoza
