Visioning and Vision Board Workshop
Saturday, January 6, 1:00-4:00 pm
Facilitated by Lida Martin, RScP
fee – $45
The word “vision” is normally associated with seeing. We are using this word in a slightly different context. Visioning we are using is about asking a question to make us aware of what is moving through us, to be aware of an emergent field of possibility, or the next stage in our development. We are actually asking what are the Divine Patterns in our health, creativity, connections with others, business, community, service, healing or growth?
We are asking what is Spirit’s idea as itself for our life? We then create a collage which is an outward manifestation of this living prayer or vision.
Please come to this experience with your open hearts as we dive deeply into the deeper dimensions of wisdom, knowledge and intelligence that are within us. The room downstairs is set up with tables that have thousands of precut images, poster boards for your collages, gluesticks and a workspace for two people per table. Please bring your own scissors although some are provided as well. Papers for the visioning questions are provided however you can bring your journal too! Hot water and tea is provided.
To sign up please use the sign-up sheet on Sunday or email office@venturacsl.org with the subject line “Vision Board Workshop”
Any questions please contact Lida Martin at 805-890-2581 or lidamartinloveslife@gmail.com
#Heartivism
Facilitated by Rev. Bonnie Rose
In person: 5 weeks, Jan 11 – Feb 8 – 6:30 – 8:30 (Thursdays)
On ZOOM: 5 weeks, Jan 12 – Feb 9 (Fridays)
Fee: Priceless Pricing*
“Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.” These words by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are powerful. Yet in an increasingly polarized society, we may fall short of Dr. King’s wisdom. Fear, unconscious agendas, disdain, and reactivity threaten to dismantle our aspirations for global well-being.
What if we moved from re-activism to Pro-activism; from hate-ivism to #Heartivism?
Schooled at the Gandhi Ashram and ServiceSpace (a global organization for kindness), Rev. Bonnie offers principles to help participants create a personal and/or Center-wide “Kindness Ministry.” We will discuss topics such as leading by inner transformation; the paradoxical power of the small; and the inevitability of the ripple effect. Participants will learn from each other, as they move from resistance to joyful persistence. We will gain practical tools and resources for implementation. Above all, participants will uncover ways to bend hearts toward hope— #heartivism—as we commit to changing the world one small act of kindness at a time.
About the Instructor:
Rev. Bonnie Rose has been a minister for over two decades. She currently serves as the Sr. Minister of the Ventura Center for Spiritual Living, a center that balances mysticism, metaphysics, and practical tools. She is a long-time active member of ServiceSpace, a global organization dedicated to creating a culture of friendship, kindness, and generosity. Bonnie recently published her first book, Dances with Dogs, a memoir that blends human comedy with divine grace.

PRICELESS PRICING
*Priceless Pricing –
We want to dwell in the paradox of making classes accessible for everyone while maintaining the fiscal integrity of our Center. We invite you to ask your heart to guide you to the right amount to pay for this class. Some will pay a little more, some a little less. No exchange is too large or too small. Our combined gifts converge in the currency of compassion to awaken us to enduring good for all.
In other words –
- No upfront fees – just sign up and commit to coming to class. Gift this class to yourself.
- Donate in the last class – any amount up to
infinity.
