Reiki Share Night

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.  ~ Shakespear

Reiki Share Nite is available to the community to allow practitioners and those who are interested in reiki and energy healing to come together and explore the world of energy medicine. Any reiki practitioner at any level is welcome to both give and receive reiki treatments. Members of the community who are not attuned to give reiki are welcome to come to experience the power of reiki first hand and to explore this powerful modality.

The Reiki Share Nite experience can be conducted in a seated position, or lying down on the floor. Blankets and pillows are available if you so desire, however, you may want to consider bringing your own for your ultimate comfort. Please dress comfortably, as well.

This is a wonderful opportunity for practitioners to practice channeling reiki energy, as well as a way for all to gain greater personal experience.

JUNE 2026: Truth & Reconciliation

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. - 1 Corinthians 6

June 07 - Truth & Reconciliation

June 14 - Ecstasy of Surrender

June 21 - The Wheel Makes It Real

June 28 - Soul Recovery

It has never been more apparent that there is much more going on in our lives, both inner and outer, than meets the eye. Somewhere in our heart and soul we know it. There is a mystery here, and it is begging to be solved. Our soul is trying to get our attention. And if we will sit with and be still and let our spirit communicate with us in language and symbol, rather than through our own bewildering behavior and polluted thoughts we will start to see an alternate and even a parallel reality...not in some metaphysical airy fairy way, but with our physical eyes and even our logical mind.

In the concrete levels of reality we may be just everyday people. We are doctors, lawyers, accountants, janitors, students, homemakers, technicians, life coaches, therapists, soldiers, teachers, self-employed or unemployed. We may drink, take drugs, get depressed, overeat, under eat, work too much, play too much, give too much, take too much, try to control everything, get cancer, steal, and make plenty of mistakes. But amidst all that even in the lower levels, the good, the bad and the ugly we are also lightworkers, angels incarnate, bodhisattvas, shamans, exorcists and alchemists. We are human. We are divine. Above all we are healers in whatever it is that we do, with the deeply innate capacity to rebirth ourselves.

Many of us may have started to notice that the vanquishing of one addiction or crisis point leads to ever increasing levels of sobriety in multiple arenas of our life. As we become tempered we may be staggered at the sheer volume of layered and hidden addictions and negative patterns that have been covered in "goodness" and repression. As we bravely continue to face our darkness, some can see the addictions peeling away often in quantum leaps as we excavate our soul and bring in the Light. And this is where our treasure is buried.

Soul recovery is the path of the earth/spirit warrior. This unfolding is part of why we came here. It has taken us thousands of years to even recognize and understand our "foe". All darkness and negativity arises out of the addictive process of entrenched patterns. We walk into this battle in spite of our fear, not because we don't feel it, but because we know that who we really are and what we can evolve into makes it necessary to engage with our own personal Armageddon. 

Some of us have seen what is on the other side of our pain and fear, and we have been forever changed because of it. We have taken our base metal, our base nature, and allowed it to transform us into something very precious. We have transmuted our darkness into golden light. We emerge victorious in ever increasing freedom and remembrance. We are freedom fighters of the highest order, but we do not resist our enemy. We turn it to the Light and use it against itself. We tune the frequencies of addiction, avoidance and codependency into their opposite spectrums of devotion, sacred ceremony and unconditional love. We see the interplay of shadow and light and we honor our personal paths to freedom. 

Our mission, quite simply, is to free our spirit and soul to manifest on the physical plane, and to evolve into our full human potential to create a life worth living. Addictions are simply pointing out to us how much freedom we are willing to allow ourselves to accomplish this. Addictions whet our appetite for true freedom and make us hunger for something more. They give us a peak at our capacity for passion, devotion and true love. Addiction is the ringbearer of our soul, cavorting down the aisle, maybe shirt tail askew, but nevertheless, bringing the ring. And in the marriage lies the paradox, for at the moment of joining and commitment something new is born self to Self, like Beauty and the Beast. Something so grand, so magnificent that it remains unnamable until that very moment. And that something is a new version of our former selves that may be barely recognizable to our own earthbound eyes. 

Once this fight for true freedom, not just sobriety is engaged, the mundane ceases to exist and the exhilaration of the true nature of the heart and soul begins to take root. So when we reach this place, and make our way through hell and back we see what awaits on the other side of addiction and crisis, and we are transformed. We become freedom fighters who come back to run rescue operations on those who still suffer. And we come back not out of duty or obligation, but because we have been re-programmed through the circuitry of our heart and soul to assist others on their journey to the other side. Because what we have seen, what we have become, what we carry back with us is amazing grace which now clings to our body and soul like a new garment.

We know that if nothing more than through a smile, a kind word, a hug, a listening ear we carry within us the unspeakably rare and precious antidote to all addiction: compassion, forgiveness, unconditional love and self love. This is love incarnate. Many of us are invisible warriors, no longer engaged in codepent "fixing". We understand the art of doing without doing. We understand power versus force at its truest essence. For us, a smile is no longer just a smile, but a way to set body chemistry aright, to shine a ray of love out into the world and a sign of affection for its witnesses. It is a beam of love projecting and connecting to sources by most unseen, triggering an avalanche of support and energy. 

As we unveil our power the implications of this at first looms large. For we now know that we are a healer and a lightworker. We now know that this is what we have resisted all along. We know that this is what was being born within us, honed and crafted in the womb of our soul. Finally, we begin to see the power and the glory of the kingdom accessible through our spirit made manifest in the flesh. And we now know without one shadow of doubt that we are divine.

Before these words were at best allegory and at worst not applicable, now this concept is self-evident because it has been cross-stiched and interwoven into our experience in a manner as radiant and dependable as the rising sun. And what's more, because we know who and what we are, we now know that human...all humans....even those we deem unworthy are divine. We know that even when WE were at our worst we were still divine.

Our soul starts to tickle us with inklings of the limitlessness and the possibilities. And when we realize that we have tracked our personal mystery down and jumped into an alternate reality, something clicks inside of us and life becomes an amazing adventure. Pain and suffering no longer have the bite they once had, perceptions are clearer, thoughts are purer and love is truer. Life is good, even when weird things are happening. Being human isn't what we thought it once was at all. And we are sobered to realize that there is always going to be more. And the knowledge that we are standing on the shoulders of the way we used to be brings us tears of gratitude. And the knowledge that one day we will stand on the shoulders of the way we are now gives us the three things we cannot be without: Faith in what we cannot now see, Hope that there is an eternal will to good at work in the world, and Love and appreciation of all creation, including and most especially ourselves. And this changes everything, even as it changes nothing.

This is the journey of soul recovery, a sacred pathway to healing, enlightenment, empowerment, wisdom and awareness. We find that this dirty, humble road we've been traveling has been swept clean to reveal just below the surface a street of gold. The wheel comes full turn, the snake is eating its tail and worlds are without end. Kingdoms and places in the soul as yet to be discovered beckon us on to adventure. The process of addiction and crisis has alchemically changed our soul. Quite simply our addictions have helped us give birth to a new consciousness and opens the door of everything that has been waiting inside of us. It activates our ability to create the reality of heaven on earth. This is the Truth and Reconciliation of the Alchemy of Addiction.

MAY 2026 : Self Care Soul Values

"It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." 1 Corinthians 13:5

Sunday Talks with Renee Bledsoe

May 03 - Self Care: Soul Values

May 10 - Honoring Mother

May 17 - The Three Graces

May 24 - Divine Feminine: Goddess

May 31 - Nurturing: Nature of Angels

As we work with verse 5 this month we will explore the deeper meaning of selflessness and soulfullness, and clarify the seeming paradox of this scripture.

Self care isn't selfish if it is backed by soul care. By serving our soul we expand our reach automatically for the simple reason that the soul is a collective. Right out of the box we breakthrough the paradox. For if we are serving the soul, we are both serving the one and the all.

The soul values and feeds upon inspiration and life force. It requires beauty and vitality to create something new and treasured from its depths. Exposing ourselves to and experiencing beauty is not an option, but just as nurturing to our being as eating and drinking food. Our spirit snd soul.need food, too. 

In the natural world he flowers, foliage and insects of the first harvest are literally what give rise to the second, typically food crops which nourish our bodies. It is interesting to see the interplay of the two and how they are connected, with certainly one no less important, than the other. For surely if the body is weak and hungry, the soul has no vehicle, and if the soul is weak and hungry, the spirit and ultimately the body will wither.

The month of May, with its focus on mothering, flowering, nurturing and blossoming is a reminder to us all to give the joys and the artistry of the soul more weight in our lives. It reminds us that the work of the soul is anything but frivolous, for without it, we might be able to squeak by and survive for a while, but the reality is that we must allow our souls to open and bloom if we want to actually grow and thrive!

This month we will be working with the energies of the Three Graces. the keepers of the very qualities which greatly assist the evolution of humanity as she stands in service to the Light, to people and the earth. This is centered around creativity, beauty and charm, and all the joyful loveliness that can come to life if we will allow.

The Three Graces are here specifically to bring us to our soulfulness, and to help us assimilate this part of ourselves into the physical. When we hear the call of Three Graces, we are responding to the request of our soul to become one with Spirit and to transform our Spiritual Warrior aspects into more grace-filled, higher vibrating, highly creative energies. 

This is about gracefully taking our personal power to an entirely new level, one in which we may have not ever totally imagined. Join us this month as we celebrate the Divine Feminine within and the role of self care and mothering for soul power.

APRIL 2026: Love Wisdom

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." 1 Corinthians 13:4 

Sunday Talks with Rev. Renee Bledsoe 

April 05 - Easter Sunday • Love Wisdom

April 12 - Strength In Tenderness

April 19 - Beauty Way

April 26 - Accepting the Greater Life 

Unconditional love is a substance. True love is a practice. Divine love is a devotion. Supernatural love is a miracle in and of itself. 

I risk my dearest relationships everyday, as the call for higher love is made. Mostly it is my own call to higher love that is ever challenged. After all it is no test of love to love what is already loveable, inside or outside of ourself. 

The notion of unconditional love had become so confusing that I started using other words to speak of it. What came was something even more enigmatic: Supernatural Love. This did it for me. This terminology satisfied my soul. 

Supernatural love is not predicated on sentiment. It comes through the tenacious ability to never give up on love. It is seeing what God sees, and allowing that insight to guide your actions. It takes no prisoners, yet it does not seek to offend or change anything or anyone, with force or manipulation. 

Supernatural love allows the natural consequences of the separated self make way for the higher grace of supernatural love. It makes us wise, not just patient, but understanding in a way that is allegiant to the preservation of true love. If allowing is required, so shall it be. But also, if letting go is for the best, so shall it be. 

Sub-texts involve footnotes behind what is written, but superscripts involves symbols above the line. Super means super positioned, as in always poised to claim the love. Like a TM above your logo, it declares stewardship and responsibility for love. Supernatural love makes a place and holds sacred space, for the substance of Agape and unconditional love. One could say epigentically it provides the environment for divine love to flourish and grow. 

This entire devotion is a practice of the tantra of oneness and ahimsa. It is not just referencing human to human, or human to animal relationships. Supernatural love involves and includes also, Mother and Father God, angelic beings, Archangels, Ancestors,  Ascended Masters, Spiritual allies, animal totems, archetypes, deceased loved ones and last but certainly not least, earth angels and the divinity of humanity as a collective soul. 

When the energy of love is alive in us we become aware that it is constantly running in the background and informing our choices. As the light of love guides our actions this brings the beauty of love to this world in a never ending variety of expressions. 

It is important to remember, though, that loving is not just about rainbows and butterflies. It is about holding ourself in love as the ground of our being, and then sharing our being, most of all, by just being our true, authentic self. This is the great unifying, harmonizing and co-creative power of love that makes life worth living. 

Rev. Renee Bledsoe 

---------------------♡--------------------- 

Love Wisdom Affirmations 

It is love that makes us wise. 

I ask what would love see, what would love do?

Help me see through the eyes of love.

There is always a story behind the story.

As I move closer to my higher self, I reunite with my soul group.

Soul friends and sacred others are part of my higher self.

My soul group is here for me in ways I cannot imagine.

Through my kinship with my soul friends, I heal my relationships with my family.

My family is healed and restored to dignity and honor.

Any deep family wounds are brought to a place of at-one-ment within my being.

I honor the sacrifice of my family in our spiritual partnership, and elevate this relationship into a higher vibration.

My life is a response to the prayers of my ancestors.

Supernatural Love is extraordinary expressions of love.

Love moves my soul to greater creativity.

As I seek to express my soul, my communication improves.

As my communication improves, what I say and see heals myself and others.

My words and creativity inspire other souls to express.

I am connected to the Light of Creation.

2026 Living In Love Sunday Series

Join us for this year long exploration into the enigmatic teachings of 1st Corinthians

We wake up to our peace by waking up to our pain. At first this is more painful, as the light of our soul shines a light on us. But only as we become aware of what is amiss, can we properly address it. We can then truly respond with compassion, love and wisdom.

The cure is in the pain. Only we know from deep inside what it will take to open up to love, heal, grow and reconnect. We, ourselves, are the answered prayer of the monks, and anyone else who prays for the release of suffering.

We always think that someone else will solve our problems, or meet our needs. But it is ourselves who will witness our own suffering, and have compassion to say enough is enough. It is ourselves that allows the flow of healing love to be restored.

When we are merciful, we accept the help, soften our hard heartedness, open our mind, see all that is hiding in plain view that can make our lives easier, heal our bodies, and make our dreams come true... and accept it into our lives.

May each of us reach the zero-point of our beauty, and carry the banner for our own liberation onto the path with a heart. Know that when we do, others may follow suit. Set your spirit free.

Rev. Renee Bledsoe
