Interfaith Community Sanctuary & School – Welcome to Interfaith Community Sanctuary! 10:00am Sunday July 23 "Chants to the Divine Mother" with Isla Ross On the anniversary of Mary Magdalene's Feast Day, Isla Ross will offer Chants to the Divine Mother, A Water Blessing Ritual, and a Guided Meditation. Interfaith Community Sanctuary 1763 NW 62nd Street Seattle, Washington 98107 http://interfaithcommunitysanctuary.org/ Isla Ross is a Devotional Artist and Composer who offers Healing Songs, Interfaith Chants, and Meditative Music, accompanied by an array of exotic instruments. Even as a child , she was fascinated by the spiritual practices and music of many cultures. In 2002, Isla experienced a transformative year in Europe, including a Sacred Clowning retreat in a Tibetan monastery. The lessons included Sacred chants of India. She continued studying with several sound healers in England and back in the US. In 2005, Isla found her way to the Interfaith Community Sanctuary in Seattle, where she shares music for services and events. Please Note: Rev. Karen Lindquist creates the fourth Sunday worship services at Interfaith Community Sanctuary, however, she is traveling this weekend, attending a special Gnostic service in honor of MM, and so will not be present for this service. *** Our spiritual discernment for 2017 is the Guidelines for Engaged Buddhism developed by Thich Nhat Hanh. During the month of July we focus upon "True Community and Communication & Truthful and Loving Speech." Aware that lack of communication always brings separation and suffering, we are committed to training ourselves in the practice of compassionate listening and loving speech. Knowing that true community is rooted in inclusiveness and in the concrete practice of the harmony of views, thinking and speech, we will practice to share our understanding and experiences with members in our community in order to arrive at a collective insight. We are determined to learn to listen deeply without judging or reacting and refrain from uttering words that can create discord or cause the community to break. Whenever difficulties arise, we will remain in our Sangha and practice looking deeply into ourselves and others to recognize all the causes and conditions, including our own habit energies, that have brought about the difficulties. We will take responsibility for the ways we may have contributed to the conflict and keep communication open. We will not behave as a victim but be active in finding ways to reconcile and resolve all conflicts however small. Aware that words can create happiness or suffering, we are committed to learning to speak truthfully, lovingly and constructively. We will use only words that inspire joy, confidence and hope as well as promote reconciliation and peace in ourselves and among other people. We will speak and listen in a way that can help ourselves and others to transform suffering and see the way out of difficult situations. We are determined not to say untruthful things for the sake of personal interest or to impress people, nor to utter words that might cause division or hatred. We will protect the happiness and harmony of our Sangha by refraining from speaking about the faults of other persons in their absence and always ask ourselves whether our perceptions are correct. We will speak only with the intention to understand and help transform the situation. We will not spread rumors nor criticize or condemn things of which we are not sure. We will do our best to speak out about situations of injustice, even when doing so may make difficulties for us or threaten our safety. Read more here. "We are made of light. We are children of light. We are sons and daughters of the Sun." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
