The NEW Spiritual Cinema Group starts this Sunday 9/17 at 2PM at Jill Payne's home at 13305 SW 22nd St in Beaverton and will meet monthly. If you loved CWG: The Movie or any of Stephen Simon's movies, What Dreams May Come, Somewhere in Time or Indigo, it is a natural fit to watch movies he sends out every month to his Spiritual Cinema Circle.  Jill is a member and wants to share the movies with all of us. If this time does not work and you can not make it, please email her at aradiagoddess15@yahoo.com because they will be meeting this week and deciding if another time would work better in the future. Please come and join her this Sunday!  Where she lives is off of Hall by the Nazarene church, between Allen and Denney. The house is at the end of 22nd and is the white stucco with a red tile roof, her car will be parked out in front(a green Beetle).

The NEW Intenders Circle starts Sundays on 9/17 at 6:30 PM at Doyle Moore's home in Gresham (219 SE 192nd Street, 97233).  Tony Burroughs was at the CWG Spiritual Connection Center this summer and shared his Intenders of the Highest Good Process, it is a powerful way to bring our goals and dreams or any intention into reality and have those intentions supported by  a powerful group.

7/31/05 - Earlier this month we met with the Global County for World Peace (GCWP) and had a great get acquainted pot luck.  Brian Cooley of GCWP approached me since he is a fan of Conversations with God and had visited our website, He wanted to have a conversation about the two groups working together to promote world peace, the pot luck came out of our initial conversations.  I also invited people from Peace Now which is a peace group within New Thought Ministries of Oregon www.ntmo.org, all three groups were well represented.  GCWP is an outgrowth of the Transcendental Meditation Movement and they told us of plans to build over 3000 “Peace Palaces” around the US and that they were looking for the right land to build the first of 7 or 8 Peace Palaces in the Portland metropolitan area. More info will show up on the website as time goes on. Our next get acquainted pot luck will be later in August.

5/26/05 - For the time being things have slowed down at the Center and we moved out of the physical location we occupied for over 2 years. Our Humanity’s Team New Spirituality Group still meets on Wednesday nights at Jude Norris’s house and Steve & Heather Cohen’s house. Call Jerry at 503.799.4317 to assure you have the right night and location.

12/18/04 - Our Holiday Pot Luck and Get Acquainted Party was a lot of fun, we had great food, great conversation, Karaoke, singing and dancing. 

11/7/04 - The whole congregation of the New Thought Ministries of Oregon (NTMO) (formerly LEC) has been invited as a part of 3 weeks of visioning I have been involved in at the new church. The new Spiritual Community NTMO has a commitment to world peace that has come out of the visioning. I have proposed a partnership or linkages between the two organizations, It is no mistake that LEC hosted the Humanity's Team gathering last year. So join us this Saturday supporting James Twyman's efforts to bring lasting peace to the Middle East.
 

The Humanity’s Team Center of Portland invites you to a Prayer for Peace!

We are supporting the efforts of James Twyman and over 60 peaceworkers from around the world who will be praying in the Holy Lands next Saturday 11/13 at 10AM local time.

Please join us at the center (1236 SW Salmon) at 9:30AM.

11/2/04 - Instead of our regular Advisory Board Meeting we finished our visioning, thanks to all who participated.  Our updated vision and mission are as follows:

Our Vision is “People connecting to explore their unlimited potential.”

Our Mission is “ Creating an inclusive environment that encourages the Human                                Spirit to evolve.

               (By expanding self awareness.)”

Our Strategy: [Expanding Self Awareness]

Having a physical facility

Being of service

Providing [a] communication [hub]

Key priorities of the Business Plan

Profitability

Sustainability

Which will drive the Marketing Plan

10/19/04 - We had a special Advisory Board Meeting for continued visioning for the Center.  Another name that was suggested Center for Spiritual Exploration. We came up with a vision “People connecting to explore their unlimited potential.”  Our Mission rough draft was “ To create an environment that strengthens and expands our self awareness through evolving Spirituality.” Some Thoughts of service and community are still likely needing a place in it. 

10/4/04 - The majority of the Advisory Board Meeting was taken up with the second phase of visioning for the Center and another name was suggested Center for Spiritual Evolution.

9/13/04 - The majority of the Advisory Board Meeting was taken up with the first phase of visioning for the Center and looking at new names for the larger organization we are becoming that still includes CWG and Humanity’s Team and yet is beyond that.  It was suggested we be called the Center for Spiritual Awareness, it later turned out that name is taken.

During September - In the New Spirituality Group (Wednesday Nights 7-9PM we watched some video and studied teachings of Ramtha after two members of hte group had attended a Beginners Retreat for nine days by the Ramtha School of Enlightenment. See the write up of the new Ramtha Group starting on Tuesday 7-9PM on Tuesdays starting November 9th.

8/18/04 - Here are the minutes to the Special Advisory Board Meeting - I am convinced we opened a whole new chapter of love, service, prosperity and abundance at the meeting.

In writing up the minutes I am more excited for the center than ever before, thank you all for your time, talents and energy of all kinds.

Also, someone called a few minutes ago offering us 4 separate weeks in Tahiti to auction off.  The only catch is the minimum bids must cover the $500 fee per week he is wishing to avoid.  I will bring it to the AB as he provides more details.  I have always wanted to go to Tahiti. Maybe you do too.  For the full minutes
