Aside from the lack of regular weekly inspirations my timeliness has been wonky and a little sporadic, in part because, at least for the past month I have been very busy with a new project.  One that has been wildfire through the cutting edge spiritual community we all belong to, I’m speaking of the Oprah/Tolle Online Webinar.  

The Okanagan Centre advertised in our local paper and through Oprah’s website, offering a supporting study group.  We had over sixty people respond.  We have created three groups, limited to a maximum of twenty people each, who are showing up for two hour group study sessions.  It has become a large commitment of my time and our Centre’s resources; and very exciting. 

I discovered how large our spiritual community within Vernon is; people who had been studying all alone in their homes discovered overnight they were not so very alone.  

Wow!  Over two million people world wide for the Webinars.  Just in Vernon one bookstore alone has sold over seven hundred copies of the book “A New Earth” by Tolle.  It really is an idea whose time has come.

So here is the idea that woke me up.  Why not create online study groups.  Not just for this book but for all the classes and workshops the Centre offers; Science of Mind, Tolle, Chopra, Dyer and other authors.  Subjects like dream interpretation, meditation, spiritual community action, inner and outer growth; whatever will make the difference.  Any time, anywhere you could drop in and explore with a growing community the ideas that will make the difference in your life.

What an idea; using the web to bring us together in spiritual community, to grow, nurture and support ourselves and each other. The Centre already has the online facilities with it’s forum, I’m sure my webmaster could easily set up an online ‘study hall’ in the forum and even find a way to utilize online ‘Skype like’ video technology to make the experience more tangibly present. 

If this idea is appealing to you or anyone you know simply respond to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it with yes in the subject line.  I will keep you informed of interest and general progress.

Now maybe I can go to bed and back to sleep. 

Good night all.
