“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
Mohandas Gandhi

Gandhi’s famous injunction “You must be the change you wish to see in the world” seems the perfect theme for our Center this year – a place and a people dedicated to spiritual growth and deep application of wisdom. Each month we will explore a different aspect of learning what it is we wish for the world and how to transform the wish into action in our own lives.

January starts our first lesson – start where you are! In some ways this may seem silly, for where else can we start? And yet there is good work done at the beginning of any endeavor when we 1) take the time to assess what we already have in the way of tools, talents and knowledge and 2) become centered in the present moment not allowing our dreams and wishes for our future to carry us away in a daydream of possibilities with no way in this now moment to get from here to there!
It takes a measure of patience in the process of starting right where we are sometimes! It is so tempting to just start but the consequences of this “ready, fire, aim” approach can be very disappointing, not to mention not moving us one step closer to manifesting our wish!

I am so happy you are a part of the Center! I wish you the very best year and my deep hope is that you will find the Center here in Bellingham to be a rich resource for your personal spiritual journey!
Many blessings to you and yours,
Dr. Andrea
