May 18th “Stages of Faith and Congregations” Rev. Peg Morgan
Today we will look at the James Fowler "stages of faith" both personally and also in regards to how they apply to the life of a particular congregation...ours. Which stage are we in?

May 25th “The Wave and the Pearl: A New Vision of Global Healing” Victor Shamas, Ph.D.
A Tibetan mystic spent 45 years in isolation, meditating on the most esoteric of ideas: the relationship between form and formlessness. At the end of his retreat, this unique teacher emerged with a realization that has profound implications for the future of the Earth. Dr. Shamas will share this insight with you.

Victor Shamas, Ph.D., teaches psychology at the University of Arizona, specializing in health psychology and consciousness studies. Since 1996, he has led a chanting circle in Tucson, Arizona. He is the author of "The Chanter's Guide: Sacred Chanting as a Shamanic Practice" and recently produced a chanting CD called "Global Chant 1." He is also the founder of Act on Wisdom (http://www.actonwisdom.com), a global healing network that is organizing a series of worldwide peace and healing events called WAVE1 (http://www.wave1.org), the first of which happens at 7pm on June 18, 2008.
