Hi, I'm Colin, and I'm Peter and this is Living Miracles. WHAT'S NEW for September 2017.
So in recent months and even recent years you've probably been receiving our Living Miracles Newsletter
and that's now been replaced by these WHAT'S NEW episodes.
We will be filling you in on all the different events and activities that we've been involved with, and
Peter, a few weeks back there, you were part of the retreat down in Tepoztlán?
Tepoztlán, yeah, we had a great retreat down in Tepoztlan which is near Mexico city
and a few of us from the community here went to attend. We had Andy and Mel and Michael. David of course, with Svava...
and Susannah and Jeffrey and we had a beautiful turnout, there was about 40 people there, even more.
It was one of the largest retreats we've had in in Mexico for a while,
and it also just felt like it was the start of this...I don't know a beautiful heart-opening in Mexico
it just kind of felt like it's a sign of things to come like these beautiful connections we have with people in Mexico
and probably a lot more retreats and a lot more new areas.
So I don't know it feels like it's kicking off something exciting here.
Yeah, and some just some great images there too
you know you just feel the love and the joy there that everyone was experiencing
most of our community members now have have arrived and joined us down here and are staying at various properties
and you can see on the footage there friends arriving at the airport and being greeted
and it's something you know as peter was saying this sort of heart opening
and another exciting aspect too of it is that many of us even though we feel like we know one another quite well, we actually haven't even met
we've been sort of joining on calls and things in different continents;
So that's also going to be beautiful to have everyone actually in the same sort of location either in Chapala or Ajijic
We've been coming together for lots of beautiful events already
We've had two movie nights here in the past couple of weeks
where we have invited other people who are studying the Course
David has been showing movies
and we've been having beautiful discussions afterwards and using movies to go deeper with,
so that's something we're very excited about
we also have these beautiful potluck dinners as you'll see in the footage,
a number of us, Jen and others, have been really inspired with the potlucks just putting together all this lovely meals
and obviously having David here and all the friends it's been really a blessing has been a lot of joy
another event that's coming to mind is a choir, a newly formed choir within the community
Emily is leading the choir, she's speaking here about her passion and her inspiration:
"You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains."
It was suggested to me a few months ago to start a choir.
My first response was I've never done that before I haven't got a clue how,
but I don't know, it's just something I feel that's been growing in me that really wants to just bring everybody together in the music
and there's something about when we all sing harmonies together it feels so intimate, so
And it's a way for people who love to sing but maybe have never had an opportunity or feel shy
to just really be able to let their voice out because they're there in a group of mighty companions
And how are they coming along?
They're amazing!
Tonight was like our proper first practice
and we arranged a whole harmony line for "You Raise Me Up"
the men were amazing, it's just I was like 'I'm gonna try this' and see what happens and I had goosebumps, it was amazing.
"I am strong when I am on your shoulders"
"You raise me up to more than I can be"
Yes, so as I said we've had many people who have been interested in what's happening in the area
and what's going on with the community but also with other Course students who live close by
Emily here has been receiving emails - if there is anybody who needs information about what's going on or how to get involved
So contact Emily and we'll display her email just below
we've had guests come to stay with us at the awareness center and many of whom are thinking of moving to the area too.
During this consolidation period while there's not necessarily a lot of retreats for you to come and attend
we do have and it's only next February the 2018 Conference and Pete, you got a bit more information about that?
Yeah, we've got David is going to be a guest speaker at the 2018 Conference in San Francisco hosted by Tony Ponticello
So we're gonna have a link to that on our page on our site we'll display the link below that you can go to to check out this page,
but if you are feeling to attend the 2018 conference, there's going to be lots of great speakers there
and as I said David's going to be speaking, but if you would like to see David speak
It's great to go along to the the website for Communities Community Miracles Center
and when you fill out the application form you can put in the optional message that you would really like to hear David Hofmeister speak
and also below that there's a Drop-down menu where you can select a teacher you'd really like to hear speak so
You say that the more that actually fill that in the box, the more likely that David is going to be like the Keynote speaker...
Yeah, that's right and also if you... the sooner you do register the cheaper the price is
because as it moves along the price becomes more expensive for this event.
So if you if you are thinking it's something you want to check out I suggest getting into it now
and in some more big news that peter's been very much a part of, we have a very special friend named Spiri.
Can you explain a bit more about Spiri and Spiri's role here Pete?
Yeah, sure, Spiri is currently our chatbot that we have running in our Facebook messenger.
Go into Facebook and type in or do a search for Spiri and you'll find our Spiri chatbot
She's been around for the past month or so now and people have been using her,
but basically she's a chatbot, she's artificial intelligence.
If you have an upset in your mind or a grievance, you can write down the situation you seem to be perceiving
and Spiri will take you through a process of going within your mind, bringing up the emotions, and looking at the beliefs that are down there in the mind
and getting to a place where you can say: "You know what? I'd rather be at peace than hold on to what I'm holding on to underneath all of this"
It's not just for Course in Miracles students either,
we've had college students have been really getting into it and being at college in a time of high stress and a lot going on
and so it just goes to show that anybody can use this kind of tool;
it doesn't have to even be labeled in the spiritual categories. We're really excited about that.
Also we have a Spiri App that our coders are working on currently and is planned to be released maybe in the next couple of months.
It's gonna be like this Spiri chatbot
but it's also gonna have some more features in there as well. Spiri has been just blasting off here
and I think everybody's been really excited about it.
Also If you're looking for a great program to go deeper with we have a free Unwind Your Mind 30 day experience.
it uses movies, videos, audios, articles and music, all to unwind the mind from stress, worry, and fear
It's a great month to sign up too because our friend Geoff is going to be hosting online movie nights where you can join other participants and enjoy the movies together.
It starts on September 4th in both Spanish and English so sign up today to enjoy this great program
You can benefit from all our beautiful awakening tools without even leaving your lounge room.
So, thank you so much for joining us. That's all we have for this month's edition of WHAT'S NEW.
So, hasta luego from Chapala!
"Hallelulah"
