Strengthening Community Through Visits, Retreat and Birthdays!

Many of you might recall Richard Savadsky. He has been a member of GOL since 1998. He was one of the original Trustees and is currently an honorary Trustee of GOL. Richard's last visit to GOL was February 2007. He shared his book of poetry on his struggles with M.S. Richard is currently a resident at the Northport VA nursing home. He needs a van that can carry him in his wheelchair in order for him to visit us again. I have the pleasure of visiting him every few weeks and deliver spiritual DVDs to him. If you have any DVDs to share, I welcome them. Today I thought I would sent his picture out to all of you because he often asks about the Gathering community. So here's a 'hello' from Richard!

GOL HOSTED ITS FIRST RETREAT AT ST. LAWRENCE SAT. MAY 3rd.

The event started with simple yoga and ended with human sculptures. Rev Gerard, Rev Annie and myself gave the secret formula to "Living your best life now." I can't draw the secret here (not computer savvy enough) but I can tell you it included Self ---Divine---Others.

Rev Gerard brought out his school bus of wounded parts. Rev Annie helped us connect to the Divine. And I introduced everyone to "the pain-body". There were many songs, chants and experiences to round out the day. We really heated everyone up with all the energy!!

All who attended will highly recommend the next one!
But a picture is worth a thousand words!

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAY BOYS - BURT AND RICK!
Happy Birthday!
