GUEST SPEAKER & ARTIST
SUSAN SHANN
"Sacred Ecology"
|

Our earth mother Gaia is a living, breathing, highly intelligent and self-organizing system. We are all connected to the earth with every cell in our body. This is a modern scientific revelation, an ancient wisdom, and a miraculous wonder. In light of the existential challenges created by the failure of our modern society to understand and apply this knowledge on a deep level until now— it is also a grave responsibility. Let's explore how we might become active participants in healing our world.
Susan Shann is a native of NJ and an award-winning songwriter and performer with four acclaimed CDs to her name. A member of Center for Spiritual Living Nashville and a student of Science of Mind for 15 years, she is also a long-time activist for environmental and social justice causes within the vibrant Nashville community. Susan is honored to use her voice and songs to lift up and support ALL people who seek to create a more peaceful, sustainable, and just world for those here and those yet to come.
Susan is beyond excited to have the opportunity to share her own understanding and experience through talks and songs that serve to affirm and heal our connection to ourselves, each other, and our beautiful Mother Earth. Find out more at susanshann.com.

SHOW YOUR PRIDE WITH CSLN
The Nashville (LGBTQ+) Pride Parade is June 25. We would love to have CSLN show the love with a group of people to participate. Is there someone who would like to step up to coordinate this effort? We have a big banner, we can look at getting T-shirts, and we need someone to recruit and organize participants from CSLN! Contact Annie at admin@cslnashville.org if you would like to help get this going!

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
CARL FRANKLIN, RScP
There is One magnificent Power and Presence, and we are one. I rejoice in the gift of life. I live each precious moment expressing who I am— a miraculous creation! I am equipped to create a meaningful, purposeful life. I am a child of God. I am clear, directed, wise, and loving! Knowing my truth, I align with God's purpose and use my thinking to attract loving relationships, vibrant health, and limitless prosperity. I live in the now because now is what life is all about! I know through the power of my belief that I am filled with excitement and joy as I open myself up to being all that I can imagine! I give thanks for the Power within. I say thank you God, for I know this to be so as I release my word to the Law of Mind. And so it is!
