Soup for the Soul
On hiatus for the summer
See below for an alternative gathering. At the Center for Spiritual Living, Eugene
390 Vernal Street, Eugene, Oregon
Rev. Linda offers a weekly gathering on Thursdays at noon, called Soup for the Soul. There is an offering of soup and bread for lunch, and we meet for an hour to discuss one of the Principles of Science of Mind, and the practices that can help us put it to work in our lives. It is about exploring what it is we believe, and HOW to live the Principles into action.
It is offered on a love offering basis, and is a drop-in event.
Each week will stand alone, so it is an open discussion and everyone is welcome!
Oneness Blessing/Meditation
Thursdays noon - 1:20
At the Center for Spiritual Living, Eugene
390 Vernal Street, Eugene, Oregon
Jeanette Adams leads a Pure Consciousness Meditation, a 45 minute facilitated journey using gentle guidance to settle the thinking mind and shift energy from doing into the beautiful grace of simply being. Learn to rest in the spacious, radiant stillness that holds your thoughts.
After the meditation, Jeanette will be delivering a Oneness Blessing, and then the social hall will be open for discussions, socializing and a finger-food potluck until the Writers Group meets at 1:30, in which you are also welcome to participate.
Shamanic Journeying and Drumming Session
With Rich Sixel
Every Third Saturday of the month, 6 - 8 PM
Shamanic drumming uses a repetitive rhythm that begins slowly and then gradually builds in intensity to a tempo of three to seven beats per second. The ascending tempo will induce light to deep trance states, and facilitate the shamanic techniques of journeying.
Generally shamanic journeying is a way of communicating with your inner or soul self to retrieve information.
This is basically drumming meditation. Rich let us know it would be his pleasure to share some of his Frame Drums and rattles to use during the session.
A recommended love offering of $10-$20 will be accepted at the event. No one will be turned away, and everyone is welcome.

Movie - A New Thought-A New You
A New Thought – A New You is a documentary first released at the end of 2014. It features teachers and speakers from across the New Thought movement coming together to share their inspiring true stories of personal transformation.
Growing out of the Emerson Transcendental Movement of the 1800s, New Thought includes Unity, Divine Science, and Science of Mind (now known as Centers for Spiritual Living).
New Thought emphasizes the power of the mind, positive thinking, and the belief that thoughts can directly influence one’s reality. It was often described as a “religion of healthy-mindedness” by psychologist William James. At the center of it all, is the idea that everything and everyone is connected.
It is similar to Eastern Thought in that it teaches that what we focus on grows, while what we resist will have a tendency to persist in our lives.
We are delighted to be showing this video at the Center on August 23rd at 12:15pm. This showing is free to the public, and all are welcome to come watch it.

Gary Lynn Floyd Concert
Gary Lynn Floyd will be our special musical guest at the Sunday Morning Service, PLUS he will be performing a concert at 1:00 PM at the Center, following a special pot luck lunch.

With an engaging and unassuming spirit, his melodies mix introspective yoga vibes with feel-good Sunday energy. Gary reminds us that spirituality transcends boxes, and music can connect us to our shared humanity.
