Invitation to Sunday, April 11th
Karen Drucker Concert on April 17th
The Swami is appearing! April 25th
Celebrate What is Right with the World on April 25th

Dear One,

* Would you like to know how to manifest something really new and great in your life?
* Are you interested in why "ease" is not always "easy?"

On Sunday, April 11th, I will speak on the topic, "The Joy of Rebirth." Spring is surely the time of rebirth and that means something new appearing in our lives. Often that newness is accompanied by an inner need for us to grow, so we can become the person that can accept that new thing or way of being.

Growth, in turn, is often stressful - have you noticed? My talk is about how we can reframe that stress of growth to be something that is intensely desirable, thereby allowing us to leap into creative evolution with the abandon of a frolicking, new spring lamb. Please come and give yourself a new lease on your wonderful life!

Our music for Sunday is an amazing find of Bodhi's. Dada Nabhaniilananda will perform with Bodhi. Dada is a monk, author and musician. He has followed the Path of Bliss for thirty years and is the author of a new book. On his website: www.eternalwave.com you can get a preview of the wonderful experience we will have on Sunday. Here is some information from the website:

He sings about spiritual experiences and ecological or human rights issues, and derives many of his ideas from myths and legends of different cultures. In performance he uses an imaginative blend of music, multimedia, humour, chanting and meditation to create a memorable and uplifting experience.

You have an opportunity to formally become family with the Golden Gate Center for Spiritual Living, if you are not already a member. We will lovingly welcome new members into our Golden Gate family on Sunday, April 18th. This celebration is preceded by a New Member Orientation this Sunday, April 11th at the Learning Center at 12:30 pm. If you would like to find out what membership entails, please come to this meeting. Coming to the orientation is not a commitment to join; just come and see what membership is all about.

Our beloved Karen Drucker will be in concert on April 17th. If you have not spent a whole evening with this amazing talent, please give yourself this gift. You will laugh; you will cry, and you will fall more deeply in love with life than ever. You can purchase tickets on Sunday at the Events Table. Karen is celebrating her first book, Let Go of the Shore, and a new CD.

Swami Beyondananda is coming to the Golden Gate Center on Sunday morning, April 25th. Swami (aka Steve Bhaerman) is so funny and so enlightening. You will be amazed that spirituality is so hilarious! Be sure to come to this morning of healing humor and bring your friends.

After the Swami, plan to stay for the debut of a wonderful workshop given by two of our professional Practitioners. Diana Smith and Deborah Erwin will present "What's Right with the World." If you would like an infusion of positive energy and a new vision of your beautiful world, give yourself this gift. Remember, that's Sunday, April 25th at 1:00 pm at the Learning Center offices.
