Highlighted & New Events
Dear Devotees of Sacred Waters,
I have continued to track the new cases of coronavirus in St. Joseph County and I was very encouraged most of June. The curve was at least flattening. Then, in the last three days, cases have gone up by 58%. Elkhart is even worse and according to a doctor there, the ICU beds are full. Hospitalizations are also up in both counties. So I have decided to open Sacred Waters on July 13th at the end of Mercury retrograde. Hopefully by then this latest surge will have passed.
When we do open, I will require masks, temperature checks, and social distancing. I will keep the groups to 10 or less. I hope everybody is staying well and being cautious.
Blessings,
Joyce

DREAMWORK GROUP WITH ALMA SPENCER
On the first Wednesday at 7 p.m.
On the first Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Carl Jung believed dreams were direct communications from the unconscious to the conscious, and therefore an opportunity for personal growth. If you’re not familiar with dream interpretation, the process is quite simple: learn to remember your dreams and develop your intuition. But since it’s often much easier to interpret someone else’s dream than your own, we’ll share our dreams in a supportive environment to benefit from each others’ intuitive insights.If you have any recent dreams to share, please type each one up and give it a title. Then bring your written dreams for the group to work on. Love Donation

SACRED WATERS KIRTAN
Cancelled – Friday March 27th 2020 at 7 p.m. at the Unitarian Church at 801 W. Washington
Kirtan is a listening and interactive sound healing experience. Using call and response chanting with easy, repetitive melodies and joyous danceable rhythms, the songs are sung in the ancient languages of world religions. They set free the chattering mind, deepen the breath, and create a state of calm, where the eternal love that lies in each heart can unfold and open. All ages and faith traditions welcome. Bring a cushion for floor sitting or sit in our chairs. Love Donation. For more information see yogachant.org

READING THE GOSPEL OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA
On the 4th Tuesday 7 – 8:30 p.m.
On the 4th Tuesday 7 – 8:30 p.m.
Andrew Harvey once said that if he could take only one book to a deserted island “The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna” would be his choice. The book is written in dialogue form detailing the conversations Ramakrishna had with people that came to see him. It records his moods, his songs, his humor and gives one a sense of what it would be like to be in the presence of a Divine Incarnation. Using wonderful analogies, Ramakrishna discusses some of the most profound spiritual topics and his own spiritual experiences. We will stop often for discussion and sharing. I will have extra copies for everyone.
SUNDAY CIRCLE OF SILENCE
On Sundays from 11 a.m. to noon.
On Sundays from 11 a.m. to noon.
Do you feel stressed and unable to find time to just Be? Do you find it difficult to meditate at home with so many distractions? Come join us on Sunday mornings. According to the great mystic Meister Eckhart: “Wherever this Word (of God) is to be heard, it must occur in stillness and Silence. We cannot be of greater service to this Word than through stillness and silence. There we can hear and understand it correctly.” Sermon 18. We will begin the hour with 20 minutes of silent meditation. We will then do a 5 minute silent walking meditation followed by another 20 minutes of silence.
