We make May MAGIC! 

 

"Life's a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!"

Surely you have heard this quote before. If you were in church last Sunday, you know I presented it as a central theme in my homily. It comes from the classic, delightful and enchanting movie Auntie Mame, which starred Rosalind Russell as the title character. I love this movie, because it is certainly a story about living life to the fullest -- and, more importantly, LOVING life to the fullest!

So I've decided I am embracing this quote as my Spring/Summer mantra. Because I don't want to be a poor, starving sucker, do you? I want to be a positive, affirmative, determined, unflappable, FEASTER at Life's Banquet. Won't you join me at the table? And you know I always do my best to make it fun!

At ISD-DC, we do serve up hefty, heaping helpings of Life's Banquet, don't we? This May is shaping up to be particularly fun, too! Check out all the fun stuff happening in our oh-so-special Spiritual Home, including:
No need to starve! Soup's on!  

Rev. Rob Banaszak

Creative Visualization
With Rev. Rob Banaszak
Tuesdays, May  9, 16
7:30 p.m.
Cost $25 members/$30 non-members

"If you can see it, you can be it!"  With these three words we'll launch our three-week journey to discovering - or remembering - the power of our thoughts and imagination to CREATE that which we desire for our life.

Through reflection, creative exercises and discussion, we'll hone our abilities to:
  • Envision our heart's desire
  • Align with our hearts desire
  • Release our heart's desire
Bringing your dreams and desires is a requirement - bringing a diary is optional, but would certainly be helpful!

"Unleash Your Super Powers!"
The 2017 Annual Retreat
May 26 - 29, 2017
Clarion Inn and Conference Center
Shepherdstown, West Virginia

The greatest superheroes of comic book legend have an archetypal experience in common: they have an all-to-human personal journey as they move from discovering their power, to accepting, then embracing, their power. During this "super" retreat, which will again be co-presented by our friends at Takoma Metaphysical Chapel, we will take a fun, yet powerful journey to discover our power -- what it is, what makes it stronger, what renders it unusable, and how we can use it to make our world better.
