			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Starting Sunday, May 1st, at 9:30 AM- 11:00 AM with <a href="http://bmswc.com/our-people/david-winfree/">David Winfree</a><br />
</strong></em></p>
<h2>A GATHERING FOR SPIRITUAL CELEBRATION, EXPRESSION AND COMMUNITY</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-491" title="logo" src="http://bmswc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/logo.gif" alt="" width="322" height="233" />To participate, express, share and explore.<br />
Realizing and honoring DIVINITY in oneself and in others.<br />
Where you have a voice and can make a difference.<br />
Where you can blossom and grow.<br />
Bring your light.  Be a blessing.<br />
Raise and expand consciousness.<br />
Experience transformation.<br />
Offer and receive loving service.<br />
Be the gift of LOVE that you are.<br />
Experience ONENES and ALLNESS in UNITY.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>WHAT WE DO</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-492" title="meta3" src="http://bmswc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/meta3.gif" alt="" width="250" height="187" />Each session is a unique spiritual expression, with its own flow and synergy.<br />
There are blessings, song, music, chant, readings, poetry, visioning, energy awareness, movement/dance and other creative expression.<br />
The content comes from those who volunteer.  Call 734-353-0906 to volunteer.<br />
Each session includes a period of silent meditation to focus one’s attention and experience that which is beyond the thinking mind.<br />
There may be additional moments of silence to enhance deepening of awareness.<br />
A portion of the time will be devoted to an uplifting presentation, spiritual teaching or spiritual inquiry.<br />
Time is provided for those present to respond to the unfolding experience and voice their insights.<br />
There is opportunity for fellowship and personal connection.<br />
There is laughter, lightheartedness and playfulness.<br />
There are many opportunities to serve others in various ways.<br />
There are refreshments.<br />
Every few months there will be opportunities for frequent attendees to provide their input regarding preferences for future program content, format and presenters.</p>
<h2>GUIDING PRINCIPLES</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-495" title="meta2" src="http://bmswc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/meta2.gif" alt="" width="250" height="181" />There is nothing that you have to believe.<br />
You are encouraged to be a kind, gentle, patient, loving expression of DIVINITY and to be aware and honoring of that same DIVINITY in others.<br />
Be open, accepting, and appreciative of the synergy, connection, harmony and flow.<br />
Come with the intent of being a blessing and a light to those around you.<br />
In so doing, you will be blessed and LIGHT will shine within you.<br />
A wonderful way to lift human consciousness is to raise one’s own spiritual consciousness.<br />
A wonderful way to raise one’s spiritual consciousness is to focus on the DIVINE ASPECTS.<br />
Focus on beauty, peace, appreciation, spaciousness, kindness, abundance, generosity, joy and LOVE.<br />
These will resonate in you and you will be aligned with them.<br />
All who participate in this group are ministers to each other.<br />
Be a gift.  Be a giver.  Also, be a receiver, thereby enabling others to be a giver and a gift to you.<br />
This is DIVINITY expressing, ALL IN ALL.</p>
