* There is limited parking in the front of the building, by I-88 and the elevator. Lots more parking is in the back of the building, where there is a flight of stairs to climb and a hallway leading to our Lotus Center on the second floor.

A big round of applause to all of our readers, healers, and volunteer staff that made our All Soul's SpiritFest a big success!  We converted our already glittering center into a public venue with both quiet space for readings and healings and space for vendors that brought so much fun!  Soups and goodies donated by our members kept us all going and we can't wait to do it again in the new year.

“Things have shifted recently around you so that you may be feeling more support and upliftment in your experience of living right now. The tide has shifted in your favor, inviting you to embrace life with courage and joy. Reconnect with the innocent light of your inner child—a light of trust, fearlessness, and self-reliance. Through it, see the world anew, with wonder and openness, and let each day bring the excitement of discovery and the purity of heart that guides your true path."

The Institute for Spiritual Development in Washington D.C. is doing a special healing service on Sunday, November 23rd at 11:00 AM. Share in a healing experience of yourself, others and for the world. Click the button below to go to their website which will have more information available soon.

The original keepers of this land knew how to fit themselves into the whole, and to connect to and receive life consciously back from the whole.  We will honor indigenous traditions around this great practice, and gain confidence in fitting it into our lives in meaningful and balanced ways for the good of all life everywhere. An easy and fun practice once you embrace it, this is both an artform and a cosmology that has limitless potential to create positive change in yourself and your world. Join us!

Wednesdays, 6 week Series, with Story Ducey

This Wednesday Group is called an Oracle Group because we will be focusing first, on deep meditation for healing and renewal for ourselves as we attempt to reenter the world together.

Then, we will be seeking guidance, teachings and home work from Spirit together for all of us and our families as we move through this transition. This is experimental work with Spirit. We allow Spirit to direct us and present the teachings they want us to focus on.

We will record the messaging and seek the overall message as confirmed by the majority of the messaging.

The overall goal is to dissolve challenging personal and communal karma while we seek strength and guidance in creating a new chapter for ourselves as individuals and for our world.

Nov. 5, 12, 19, 26, Dec. 3, Dec. 10:  1pm-3pm. Please Join us- Register for any one or the whole 6 week series for a discount at button below. . .

  Tarot as an Ally in Troubling Times

Two Thursdays
November 20,  & Dec. 4th, 2025 at 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

In a world that often feels uncertain, heavy, and unjust, it’s easy to lose touch with your inner voice.
This two part workshop, led by Tarot & Human Design Practitioner, as well as folk musician, Anna Kinney invites you to reconnect—with your intuition, your resilience, and your sacred self—through the soulful practice of tarot.

Tarot as an Ally in Troubling Times is a gentle, affirming space where you’ll learn to use tarot as a tool for reflection and healing rather than prediction. You’ll explore the structure and symbolism of the cards, pull your own spread, and uncover the messages waiting for you just beneath the surface. No prior tarot experience is necessary—this is about tuning in, not getting it “right.” For curriculum points, cost, and to register click on the button below.

As we initiate a new fiscal year, with all the the new expenses that come with continuing our non-profit mission and vision in this beautiful physical location, would you consider sharing any abundance in your life by supporting our work with a financial donation or by volunteering your services? It takes a village!
