“May the sun bring you new energy by day, may the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new strength into your being, may you walk gently thorough the world and know it's beauty all the days of your life.”~ Apache Blessing

This Universal Service is taking place on the morning of the eve of Yom Kippur, marking a time of the high holy days in the Jewish religion, known as the 10 days of Awe which started on Friday, September 18 with Rosh Hashanah.

Jewish law teaches that God inscribes the names of the righteous in the “book of life” and condemns the wicked to death on Rosh Hashanah. People have until sunset on Yom Kippur to perform “teshuvah,” or repentance. It is a time to be penitent and forgiving, a time for prayer, good deeds, to reflect and make amends. Interestingly the Honorable Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed on, at sunset on Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of these days of Awe, or Atonement.

Interestingly, the Fall Equinox which fell on September 22, 2020 heralds the same opportunity. It is about coming into the season known as the time of the "Looks Within," in Native American traditions. It asks us to be mindful of ourselves and to forgive all things past; to love ourselves that we may reset or rebirth ourselves in a good way, and prepare for the times to come. When all is truly forgiven, we are able to begin again with a lighter load and a new rebirth or beginning.

This Sunday's service will explore these precepts and seek commonality in other religions in this time of fall on planet earth. Please join us this Sunday, on Zoom for this heart filled exploration.

Blessings ever abound each one of you,

Rev. Zan

Blessings of health and well-being to each of you.

A SHAMAN JOURNEY is similar to guided meditation enhanced by the heart beat of the large mother drum.

For those of you unfamiliar with this practice, a Shaman Journey Experience is a guided meditation enhanced by the heartbeat of the large mother drum. The Journey takes us down and out through dimensions of our imagination where reality and dream time interweave into a perfect tapestry based on each person’s own special rhythms, understandings, frequencies, and needs. Guides, allies, and totems await for us just beyond the veil and rejoice in hearing our requests. They are always there to serve us and receive great pleasure from this. This is their job! 

Through the reverberation of the drum, inner gateways of frequencies open our sub-conscious mind with insights for healing and understanding, according to each person’s individuals need. The Journey itself is approximately 30 to 40 min. The rest is preparation and processing.

The fee is $25, payable in advance by 6pm, Thursday before the journey. A confirmation email will be sent to each participant following this payment, and each will receive the Zoom Link along with instructions to help you create a sacred space for yourself, for an awesome journey!

REIKI is an ancient form of hands-on healing whose roots go back to Siddharta Buddha and the India-Nepal border in 620BC. Modern day REIKI was brought to the western world by Dr. Mikado Usui, in 1922.

The word REIKI is two Japanese words, REI which means "Divine Source or Higher Power" and KI which means "Life Force Energy."

Reiki is a spiritual journey of breath, sound, meditation and intent to help overcome the pragmatic "Ego Mind's" limitations. It can be a powerful path of initiation into this ancient, broad and expansive art form for healing.

The planet needs a many Reiki Masters as possible at this time in our evolution.

TESTIMONALS

I had the wonderful opportunity to take Reiki I, II, and III classes with Rev. Zan earlier this year. They were awesome! Rev. Zan is a remarkable and inspirational teacher! Each class was filled with well-presented lessons, beautiful prayers, uplifting meditations and special Reiki sharing with classmates. Receiving each of the Reiki attunements from Rev. Zan was a very moving, sacred, ritual experience for me. I am very happy and proud to know Rev. Zan and be a part of her Reiki lineage.
In Peace, Love and Light, John Sorbo

Zan has made Reiki her life's healing work. Her passion and commitment to this eastern practice is without peer. Her Reiki Training sessions are filled with useful tools and experiential practices for the student to master. There are many Reiki Masters offering this training but from the course I took with her there are few that meet her dedication or the spiritual content that she imparts to students. Her classes last several months with each session giving the student time to practice what was taught. The final initiation is one of ritual, ceremony and a spiritual tone that imparts the wisdom and mastery of this ancient technique. Jo Mooy

Zan’s Reiki training was a wonderful experience and the attunement filled with palpable energy. Her knowledge of Reiki is extensive and her natural ability to share her healing gift is truly amazing. Ben Tucker
