Check out our new Book Reviews Section. Frank Joseph's Edgar Cayce's Atlantis and Lemuria: The Lost Civilizations in the Light of Modern Discoveries explores the enduring mysteries of these ancient lands, drawing from historical accounts, Cayce's psychic readings and recent archaeological discoveries.
We are holding our All Member Convention at ISD Oneonta on March 2nd, at 12 noon at the ISD Lotus Center. At this annual meeting, we review our accomplishments from the previous Fiscal year, and make goals for next year. In our Annual Report, we review reports from all of our committees, vote our board members in, and vote on the proposed budget for ISD Oneonta's Fiscal Year 2025. Our Fiscal year is going to change this year- It will run from April 1st, 2025, through December 31st of 2025. In January of 2026 our Fiscal year is switching to January 1st, 2026 to December 31st, 2026 to be in step with our Chartering organization, ISD National.
I think that we all would agree that moving into a new space has been an incredible group effort and joy.
One of the most engaging aspects was the process of taking suggestions and the voting to name the two active practitioner rooms. After gathering names and narrowing it down our membership came up with the perfect choices!
ISD Sacred Counsel Message:
Our message this week is the urgent plea to stop trying so hard! We exhaust ourselves running circles and managing details, picking up messes and trying to make things happen. There is infinite expression of love here waiting for you to call on it, just ask! ~ out loud!~ Call on Archangel Raphael with a prayer for whatever healing intervention you need help with. Take that moment then to stop, let go, back away and rest for a while knowing the universe is working it for you. Pray, ask for help then surrender to the Magic Stream of Life and stand by! We don't have to do everything!
OFFICE SPACE AVAILABLE. . .
If you have a metaphysical or spiritual practice and you are looking for an office of your own, or an office to share with someone, we have a beautiful sublet available now. If your business is in harmony with the principles of ISD Oneonta, please contact a member of the property committee, and lets talk!
A huge round of applause to our moving crew headed up by Dan Atkinson & Kimberly Winsor, on 11-29 ! We still need help as we are unpacking and decorating gradually. Please note that even though we have moved to 297 River St., Oneonta, NY. We will hold the Sunday, Dec. 15th Service at Tom Landon’s, which will be our last Sunday service held there. We are beyond grateful for that space which has served as ISD Headquarters for four years!
We would love extra hands helping us with the move into our new space! We also are still in need of living room type furniture for our lounge, a microwave, and kitchen cabinets. If you can help out in any way, please drop your contact info in the spaces provided here, or reach out directly to Kimberly Winsor .
