The 1st Agreement: Be Impeccable With Your Word

In this first lesson, we learn how powerful our words are, and how we unconsciously use them against ourselves and others.  We punish ourselves for the same mistake—not once but over and over again.  We judge, find ourselves lacking, penalize ourselves, then pass that judgment and punishment on to others I an endless cycle.  In this agreement, we break the cycle and begin using the impeccability of our word for good for ourselves, others, and the planet. 

God Means It For Good

In the Hebrew legend, Joseph’s own brothers were his enemies…or were they?  Through their despicable acts, Joseph triumphs and finds glory and more—true humility. Pema Chodrun, Buddhist nun, teaches that the worst experiences of life can be our best teachers, as they strip us of our armor and our masks and allow us to know ourselves as we truly are.  Can anyone be against us if God (Love) is with us?

Just The Way You Are

We are all on a spiritual path—a path of growth and evolution.  A path of growing awareness of who we are…and…we are 100% loveable, just as we are. This feels like a paradox.  There is nothing wrong with us, and yet we wish—we yearn--to change.   How do we navigate having goals of being “better” people, while loving ourselves exactly as we are?

To Everything There Is A Season

Are things really getting worse, as it sometimes seems, especially if you watch the news or “reality” TV?  Or is the world pretty much as it has always been?  Life is full of kindness and beauty, also heartache and loss.  Let’s explore this paradox using wisdom from the Hebrew prophet in Ecclesiastes and from Sufi saint Jalaluddin Rumi.

Surrender: Special Guest SuZ Ogden

Join us as we welcome back special guest musician and speaker SuZ Ogden.

We Begin Anew

On this New Year’s Eve we take stock of what “old stuff” we are willing to release and what new good we wish to claim for our lives in the coming year.  In our “burning bowl” ceremony, weliterally set fire to our lists of what no longer serves, and enter into a meditation for guidance of what is to be ours in the newness of life into which we are being reborn!

We Are The Bearer, We Are The Born

In the Christmas Eve story of possibility and birth, we are both the ones bearing the re-birth of the soul into new possibility, and the newness of soul being reborn.  This story is rich in the symbolism of oneness and infinite love that is our source and our substance. Celebrate with us in this special service full of carol singing, extra music and candle lighting. Full music on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ChurchofOneLoveDFW/videos/1499982367451499

We Are the Star, We Are the Wise

The Star was a light that guided the Wise.  The wise men were wise because they had the strength and insight to follow their own inner guidance (the star) instead of listening to what was “sensible” in the physical world.   We each hold the light of the celestial, and the energy of the Divine gives our human selves the fortitude and ability to follow that light.

Hanukkah: We are the Light of Miracles

The Hanukkah (or Chanukah) story says that a single days’ oil miraculously lasted for 8 days to light the temple in Jerusalem so that it could be purified for the celebration of Jewish Holy Days.  The story is rich in symbolism, as we all embody the miracle of light and energy.

We Are The Shepherds, We Are The Wise

The ordinary and the extraordinary exist in all of us.  In the Christmas story the shepherds trembled in fear, and angels both calmed the fears of the people in the story and celebrated the good news.  We are human and divine, of body and spirit. We will look at how the shepherds and angels represent who we are at depth.
