INSPIRATIONAL EXPLORATIONS for DECEMBER 2018
Oneness Wednesdays has been renamed to reflect a change in the orientation of these Wednesday evening events. Inspirational Explorations will feature a variety of sessions organized by a variety of facilitators, including some sessions that may continue for a while on a monthly basis. The aim of these sessions will still be to explore and experience dimensions of spirit, community and conscious living, but from as wide a range of perspectives as possible. In pursuit of this goal, members and friends of the Church of Truth are warmly invited to send in proposals for facilitating a session or a series to any of the IE co- coordinators—addresses below. Inspirational Explorations will begin at 7.15 (unless otherwise stated), and will be by donation, or free if a donation creates hardship.
Because of the Christmas season, Inspirational Explorations on Wednesdays in December will include only two sessions:
December 5. COMMUNITY CIRCLE. Facilitated by Sanjara Omoniyi.
December 12. Manifesting the Inner Divine. Facilitated by Peggy Muncaster.
IE Co-Coordinators: Chris Bullock (chrisbullock@shaw.ca), John Vanden Heuvel (sunvann@yahoo.ca), Peggy Muncaster (muncasterpeggy@gmail.com), Troi Leonard (troileonard5@gmail.com

Nov 7: PUBLIC SPEAKING FOR THE SHY ONES Facilitation: Marvelous Trudeau
Marvelous Trudeau will present PUBLIC SPEAKING FOR THE SHY ONES, a time for anyone wishing to speak on a mike, sing or play an instrument. This is a free of charge event. A time to challenge yourself to begin to break through the fear.
Nov 14: Spiritual Leanings in Literature. Facilitation: John Vanden Heuvel
This event invites anyone who cares to share – quotes, sentences, paragraphs and poems, from any style of literature, that have inspired you with its ‘spiritual life insights’. We’ll share, contemplate and discuss our offerings in a ‘light-hearted’ informal way. John Vanden Heuvel will guide us through the evening. All are most welcome, invite friends.
Nov 21: Conversing with the Muse: A Poetry and Music Circle. Facilitation: Chris Bullock, Hendrik de Pagter.
Poets, songwriters, and lovers of poetry and/or song are all invited to be part of this event. Participants will sit in a circle, and read aloud/perform a poem or song (either their own or someone else’s), say a few words about why it is meaningful to them, and then invite brief comments from anyone who has been inspired by that poem/song. No-one is required to either perform or to comment. And having said that, we should add that creativity might inspire us sometimes to do quite other things, like write a poem together, express by movement, who knows what. No fixed rules—lots of inspiration (we hope).
Nov 28: Peggy Muncaster.
