FEATURED ARTIST

RIQUÉ

Our featured musical guest this week is our very own Riqué -He is a three time Posi Award Nominee, singer, songwriter, actor, and Stylist.

He has recorded with Emmylou Harris and had a co-starring role in the last season of Nashville. Riqué shares his musical message to different Spirtual Centers and now to individuals across “The InterVerse”.

He’s especially thrilled this momentous week to do a Sir Paul McCartney song- “Hope For The Future“ along with an original excerpt from his solo show “Centered In The Storm”.

“My friendship with Riqué started over 35 years ago and I've seen him grow...into a fine writer, singer and actor. His autobiographical play makes me laugh and cry, and everything he creates comes from a pure and open heart."

SCIENCE OF MIND 101

DR. MITCH JOHNSON

The Center for Spiritual Living Nashville presents Science of Mind 101: The Thing Itself. This is one of the first classes a student of The Science of Mind philosophy can take to understand the philosophy created by Ernest Holmes. It is the perfect refresher course for anyone who loves our teaching principles, even if you have taken the course before.

In this class, we explore the spiritual path of the Science of Mind. Students will have an opportunity to:

Unlock the secrets of spiritual law
Gain a higher awareness of the nature of reality
Learn techniques for inner and outer transformation
Participate with classmates in various interactive exercises
Learn how to do effective Spiritual Mind Treatments

Live without boundaries! Give yourself the inspirational gift of eight power-filled sessions in the supportive atmosphere of total acceptance. The course will be on Thursday Evenings on Zoom, beginning at 6:30 on January 21. Our founding Minister, Dr. Mitch Johnson, will teach the course. The cost is $100, and as an accredited course will offer the option of applying for certification with our association. Students will have that opportunity upon completion of the course for an additional $45 fee.

JANUARY BOARD MEETING UPDATE

Your Board of Trustees met for the regular January meeting on Monday evening, the 18th. Some of the highlights of what we agreed to do on your behalf were: approval of our Inclusivity Initiative and to staff two Board Committees that were approved in the past: a ByLaws Review Committee and a Member Concerns Committee. Learn more about these new committees and get involved using the information below. Both groups are very important parts of our Inclusivity Initiative whereby we operate openly to address the needs of our community.

Thanks so much to Heidi Dixner, our new Administrator, for stepping up to provide some of the important support that we need right now!!

Please watch the newsletter and the website for the Zoom link to future Board meeting that take place on the third Monday evening of each month, except December, at 6:30 pm.

Blessings,

Cate Prentis, Chair

TWO NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY

Your Board of Trustees has approved the creation of two new committees and we are asking for volunteers to serve on them!

CSLN BYLAWS COMMITTEE

The Center’s Bylaws are in need of revision! Service on this committee will involve review of proposed changes to the Bylaws, one or two Zoom meetings to work through each change, and then working together to submit them to the Board. The goal is to present the revised Bylaws to the CSLN Membership at our next Annual Membership Meeting for final approval.

Please contact David Arnholter (davidharris1964@gmail.com) if you have any experience with Bylaws and would like to assist us in revising them.

CSLN MEMBER CONCERNS/ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The CSLN membership has requested the formation of this committee and your Board of Trustees has listened and agreed!

This Committee will confidentially listen to input from members who wish to bring forth problems without having to take it to the board publicly. They will ensure that ideas coming forward in this manner are not ignored and that all our members can feel comfortable knowing their concerns will be addressed. This group’s purpose is to ensure that members’ privacy will be honored and the needed changes will be brought to light.

The Committee will also monitor and engage our new Inclusivity Initiative and assure that the Board of Trustees is listening to and including community members in decision making for the Center.

David Arnholter and Lucia Coopersmith are the Board members on this Committee and we would like at least one Practitioner and several Community members to join them.

The Committee will decide how to set up and meet the needs of our Center, report Community member concerns, suggest plans of action for changes, and determine what is working well and should continue. They will report all findings at the Center to the Board of Trustees for further action.

Please contact David Arnholter (davidharris1964@gmail.com) or Lucia Coopersmith (lucia@salessynergy.com) if you are interested in serving on this new Committee.

WELCOME OUR NEW ADMINISTRATOR

HEIDI DIXNER

Heidi Dixner was appointed then elected to your Board of Trustees in 2020. The Board appointed her Vice Chair. She has attended and volunteered at the Center since 2008. Heidi saw a need to help organize our growing Center and to support Rev. Lynn, the Board, Volunteers, and Members so she volunteered her services as the Administrator.

If you have any questions or wish to share an announcement about something going on at the Center, please contact her at hdixner@gmail.com or text/leave a voicemail at (615) 398-2684.

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT

CANDY PAULL, RScP

God is the great Divine Givingness, and I am one with that Eternal Source of Life and Love. I am a co-creator with God and now choose to create a more fulfilling reality in the here and now. Resources appear with perfect timing and the Divine plan is now manifesting effortlessly, naturally, and beautifully in my life. I know that everything works together toward the highest good for all. I know that there are no rules because I've never been here before. Old patterns no longer apply. New patterns and happier ways of being are manifesting easily and joyfully every single day of my life. That which I once thought "impossible" is now possible, for I am willing to think about myself in a new way. I am thankful that the Divine intention is working perfectly to bring every good gift and blessing to full fruition. I release this treatment to the Law, knowing that Love and Life are the inevitable outcome.

What lies behind you and what lies in front of you pale in comparison to what lies within you.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
