The ache for home lives in all of us.  The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned. ~ Maya Angelou

Although it is not a physical place, “Home” calls to our hearts for a continual return to comfort, familiarity, welcome, and serenity.  It is the consciousness of constant abiding in the very Heart of God Itself, and it is available to every sentient being.  As we desire this sweet peace and loving embrace, so we would have everyone experience such a wonderful sense of belonging and wellbeing. At the same time, there is a natural desire within all to venture into the world, exploring, experiencing, expanding, then returning to our divine dwelling.

As we become more aware of being “citizens of the world,” feeling we belong wherever we are, we also realize that we may find various “houses” into which we take our “home.” We live and move and have our being in the divine dwelling that is beyond physical measurement, forever embraced in Love and guided by Wisdom.  As we allow ourselves to be nurtured and cared for by a Presence great than we are, yet right where we are, we know our foundation is strong, and this is where we truly belong.

Our delightful “Re-Opening Team” has been working diligently to determine the right time for our coming together again at “Sweet 16,” and you will be receiving word very soon about our plan to meet again in person, while continuing our Sunday morning live stream Celebration. Our spiritual Home has continued to be a real entity in the virtual world these many months, and we are now planning carefully to return to our beautiful facility. For those who prefer to watch from their homes, and for our friends out of the area, we will continue to provide the means to be with us on Sundays and for classes and special events.  Join us this Sunday at 10:30 A.M. as we discuss, “Come On Home,” by clicking on the “Watch Live” button on www.cslphilly.org  You may also view previous Celebrations and Living Room talks from Rev. Mike and me , or just to scroll through our informative website.

We so appreciate our dedicated Practitioners and Practitioner Interns who provide spiritual support for any human condition. You may contact any of them via our website, and whomever you select will gladly respond to you.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
