A personal invitation to gather in group!
Those in training in the mystery schools were taught to use two phases
of the moon to help them bring the inner world and outer world together:
the new moon for new beginnings, and the full moon to appraise our
progress.
Moon Groups are a wonderful time of ritual, prayer, and enjoying the
knowledge and wisdom that comes when people gather together and share as
a family of Light. Events are child-friendly and held at the Hope
Interfaith Center unless otherwise noted.
Please RSVP by calling
507-386-1242 three days prior.
January Full Moon
Thursday, January 28 • 7 PM
Embraced By The Light
(a near death experience)
Facilitated by Jill Augustin
Come for an insightful and spirit filled evening. In Jill’s own words, "Six years ago, one week before my 40th birthday, I had a freak accident resulting in the loss of nearly 100% of my blood volume. It took two hours and two hospital transfers before surgeons were able to find the source of the bleeding and stabilize me. There are no words to accurately describe what I experienced during those precarious hours of near death, but I can say this...I felt more alive that day while I was dying than I had ever felt while I was living! I will do my best to share this transformative experience, and the days, months and years that have followed, and how my yoga practice has served as an intuitive tool to recapture the glorious expansiveness I experienced that day."
Jill lives in New Ulm with her husband and 3 daughters. She owns 3 Anytime Fitness centers and teaches yoga in her studio in New Ulm.

March Full Moon
Saturday, March 20 • 6:30 p.m.
The Rite of the Vernal Equinox
"Behold, I make all things new!"
Revelation 21:5
The Ancient Mysteries call forth a return to Nature's rhythms on an intuitive level. Spirit and Nature in Harmony! The earth seasons are designed to promote specific evolutionary needs. The autumn is the seed planting time; winter is the gestation of the seed and the taking root. The spring is the bursting forth of those new seeds to release new aspiring life to be harvested in the summer. The Spring equinox opens the veil between the physical and the spiritual so that a resurrection in our lives can be inaugurated. The keynote of this season is creation. It is the drive to move our lives upward, like a seed pushing forth out of the earth into the air. The Spring is the time when the creative powers we have been nurturing through the winter can be expressed to initiate a new world of opportunities for ourselves and the world. We hope you will be able to join us for this special and powerful evening!
Please note that the Serenity Support Group will NOT be meeting during these winter months. We will resume in April! If you have a concern or question, please call Judy Mosca at 507-387-4629.

The vibration of wholeness resides within our bodies. Because of layers of "old" beliefs, thoughts, and paradigms, many of us have forgotten this. Energy work stirs that remembrance of wholeness, and encourages us to "Listen to the Powerful Whisper of our Inner Voice”! Join us for an evening of Energy Sharing. We will begin with a meditation and a brief discussion of our energy bodies. Reiki tables and chairs will be set up and we will take turns giving and receiving energy. All are welcome. We are all experienced energy workers whether we realize it or not. The Joy of Remembrance has begun!

Come and be inSpired by these women who study and live what they study, having a combined total of 25 years experience! From physical nutrition to soul nurturing, they will present varied information on healing and wholeness, helping us all to remember what we naturally know!
If you are ready to learn and practice ONENESS these are the CDs for you. When we realize that the outer world is a mirror of the inner world, when we see no real separation between inner and outer then we can begin to join together in creative and innovative ways to build the new world.
For the past few millennia, humanity has been exposed to so much fear and judgment. Some teachings in our Religions have been an agent of social control and conformity. Strange crazy beliefs about separation from our God-Self locked us away from our truth and the ascension process.
The great awakening is about shifting into a mature cosmology in which we are not broken anymore in search of redemption. Instead, we are divine and creative beings in human form. We are sparks of God in conscious evolution. Within this new cosmology, the Universe is an interconnected web of energy-consciousness. It is consciousness that determines the collapse of quantum wave functions, which essentially means that it is our thoughts and emotions that control what happens in our lives.
These CDs will introduce you to exercises and information that will help you on your ascension path. They will also help you to discover a Universe in which love is so unconditional that it says "YES" to any desire, thought, or feeling we have. No questions asked! So, during these times of shifting Years you might be interested in how to shift your Gears. Working with these CDs will help you, encourage you, and support you in your journey of remembrance and ascension.
Last year’s CDs were received by people throughout the United States. We received great feedback from many. It is not only the messages that are important in these CDs but it is also the energy that is transferred through the words. So if you are interested in signing up for this year’s mailings please contact Penny at the Hope Interfaith Center and sign up today. The CDs are completed by the 22nd of every month.
There are three ways to donate. You can contribute $108 for the whole year, donate quarterly which would be $27, or you can send your donation monthly. We want to make this as easy as we can for all of you. It has been an honor to come into your lives, sending you information about the ascension process and these accelerated times.
March 13, 10 AM - noon
This is the first integration class of this year and is open to anyone who has been receiving the monthly teaching CDs on Accelerated Time from the Hope Interfaith Center. The integration classes this year will focus on our intuitive skills and opening our heart centers. The other two dates for class are tentatively set for July 17 and October 16!

You and your beloved are invited to come to Hope Interfaith Center for an evening of fellowship! There is a small group of folk who have regularly met during this past year, focusing on their love relationships. It has proven to be a source of support and joy for all!
We would like to begin this New Year inviting all of you, those who have been attending and those who we believe may be interested, to join together on the 13th -- HIC will provide coffee and hot water for tea or cocoa. If you have treats or snacks and wish to bring a small amount to share, wonderful! But not necessary:)
Janice Hope will facilitate this evening -- although it will predominantly be an evening of socializing, she does wish to briefly share what this group can do to help make love relationships holier, healthier, and happier!

Both of these women can help you move from the mental to the spiritual solutions to your life. And you can begin the process of unlocking yourself from old beliefs and habits into a magical world of Love, Harmony and Hope. Penny and Ursula can lead you to where you want to go!
Rev. Penny is available for private sessions Tuesday - Thursday afternoons. Call the Center at 507-386-1242 to schedule with her. Rev. Ursula is available on Monday afternoon and evenings. Please call her to schedule an appt at 612.964.9094.

We are Wise Women
We are Wild Women
We are, we are Goddesses
We are, we are Goddesses
Calling all Wise Women and Goddesses! February is the time of year when we could all use some warmth and companionship. Join us on Saturday, February 20 at the HIC for a celebration of the Divine Feminine that resides within us all. The afternoon event will celebrate our Wise Woman self and our unique stories through Ritual, Conversation, and Sacred Movement. A traditional English Tea promises to be a delight for the senses. Come dressed in your most divine and let your inner Goddess shine. Please R.S.V.P. by February 19th to reserve your seat at the table. Cost: A suggested $8 love donation (the number of Infinity).
Monika has been walking the Goddess path for over 20 years. An active member of the Mankato UUFM’s Circle of the Oak and Raven, she is committed to helping women discover and connect to their authentic selves.
The beginning of the year hallmarks a time to make room for spiritual movement within our lives. I will be opening my life and spiritual teachings to those who may be interested in focusing on movement and growth from spiritual interception. Guided teachings will be the main focus of the insights I give and I will lead these sessions within the ability I have to communicate with Spirit and channeling that intelligence through. The main topics of discussion will be life journeys and the prospects for lifting higher the wisdom we all carry about ourselves, as well as methods to revitalize and improve your own communications from the spirit of God within. I have been working with individuals and groups for several years and I am excited to bring my services to the HIC community!
So, I invite you to join me on Monday, January 18th, at 7pm, at HIC for a group discussion/channeled spiritual teaching. This is offered to anyone who wishes to come and listen, ask questions, & discuss topics pertaining to life and how we connect to our Spirit. This will be open for anyone who wishes to attend.
A $5 Love donation will be asked.
Starting in February I will be offering private individual or private group appointments at Hope Interfaith Center. Time can be scheduled for Monday afternoons or evenings. These sessions are based on the individual's or small group's need that may include advising on specific issues or understanding connection based teachings.
A $30 Love donation will be asked.
To make an appointment with me, please call 612.964.9094 or email me at ursichrist@yahoo.com.
I look forward to sharing time with you,
Rev. Ursula

Come join us for our Journey of Joy reunion!
Share your memories of Mexico’s turquoise waters and white sand shores. Let us talk and share about the sun and relaxation as well as our experiences of ancient ruins and historic sights. Let us reminisce about evenings where we gathered outside our villa under pitch-black skies sparkling with stars. Wow- what a wonderful journey it was!
We would also like to invite anyone who might be interested in our next trip which is planned for February of 2011. One spot that has been talked about is Hawaii. Can you imagine picking your own pineapple at Kapalua Farms in Western Maui and sitting up front at a hula contest? Or hiking to hidden waterfalls and be wowed by active volcanoes and otherworldly landscapes? Use your active imagination and notice if the desire to swim with the dolphins, watch the humpback whales, and snorkel with the giant green turtles calls to you. And, of course, find the perfect beach, whether you are dreaming of epic surf swells or romantic sunsets. These and many other ways of experiencing Hawaii will be discussed.
Fruit smoothies will be served!
