Guest Speaker

Peggy Rubin will be our guest speaker on Sunday, January 25.

About Peggy Rubin

Peggy Rubin is founding director of the Center for Sacred Theatre in Ashland, Oregon. She is a Shakespearean actress and leads workshops in Living Life as Sacred Theatre and Sacred Studies of the Divine Feminine. Since 1987, she has also been the principal teaching associate of Dr. Jean Houston.

Working with Jean, Peggy has presented classes, workshops and trainings throughout the United States, and in Australia, New Zealand, England, Ireland, Sweden, Greece, Egypt, The Netherlands, India, West Africa, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Jamaica, and on behalf of the United Nations Development Programme, in Albania, St. Lucia, Barbados, Kenya, and the Philippines.

In her book, To Be and How To Be: Transforming Your Life through Sacred Theatre, Peggy highlights the “Nine Powers of Sacred Theatre” to probe the sacred theatre of our lives as a spiritual path of transformation.

Spirituality and Practice summarizes Peggy’s teaching as:

“The metaphor of life as the stage on which we embody our passion and purpose is a rich one…[and]…The important thing to remember is that each of us is the leading character in our life, which means we must do our best to be at our best. It is also essential that we develop the story of our life and put it in sync with the unfolding story of Life on Earth. There is no need to lock ourselves in the past or flee into the future; the present moment offers us ample dramatic opportunities.”

Peggy has studied extensively with Elaine De Beauport, Ed.D., founder of the Mead Institute, leading teacher of humanistic and behavioral applications of current brain/mind research; and with William Emerson, Ph.D., pioneer in the field of pre- and peri-natal psychology, and its importance in understanding human development.

In 2019, Peggy was awarded an honorary doctorate in Humane Letters from Meridian University.

Guest Music

Windsong Martin will be our guest musician this Sunday, January 25.

“Windsong has been an inspiration to me since I first heard her sing in 1986. Her voice, her songwriting, and her activism on behalf of Mother Earth have been a soundtrack to my life. I am honored to call her friend and always blessed to hear her sing.”

— Alice Di Micele

“Windsong is an amazing singer/songwriter whose music and lyrics continue to be relevant for these times. Her career has spanned three decades, all the while gracing us with songs that open hearts and minds. Windsong is a devoted presence at the summer music festivals in Southern Oregon, often leading the opening and closing of the festivals with sacred songs and ceremonial water blessings, as well as performing beautiful sets from the stage. It has been a pleasure to listen and dance to her music for over 20 years.”

— Joseph Lian, Co-producer of Inlakesh and Peace Village Festivals.

“Windsong Martin is a wonderful, Spiritual musician from Southern Oregon. She and her husband Ohana live on a Pristine Homestead in the Williams Valley.

“For those interested in Windsong’s music I would say that she is Very Blessed to have a Pristine Voice. She is one of those rare singers whose tone is pitch perfect and conveys the Most Heartfelt Awareness of Spiritual Love. I have seen her in dozens of venues, large and small, and in many different situations over the last 35 years and Her Message of Love for The Spirit, Love of The Mother Earth, and For Peaceful Relations between All The Nations remains as the Constant Hallmark of Her Sacred Legacy. She is always one to offer words of Encouragement, and a Prayerful Stance for Healing and Understanding between All Beings. Her songs are delivered in an Absolutely Clear Soprano Tone, with perfect annunciation.

“There is never any doubt about what you’re Hearing, it is a Voice that Comes Directly from The Spirit and Directly form The Heart Of The Ancient Elders. Her Message is, Compassionate, Uplifting, and Soulful, to such a High Degree, that it is common for people listening her to start crying with the joy and sorrow while Being touched by Her Angelic Presence. There is never any question that She is Speaking For The People, for World peace, and for Personal Healing.

“She is a fantastic Leader of Gatherings and Ceremonies, and most Eloquent Speaker, and Humanitarian of the Highest Level. She leads hundreds or thousands of people in Singing Her Anthems of Love, and She is beloved By All Who Hear Her Voice.”

— Sharanam Anandama, Music Producer, and 35 year friend of Windsong

Guest Speaker

Jean Houston as our very special guest this Sunday!

We are delighted to again welcome the amazing Dr. Jean Houston as our very special guest speaker. She will offer another illuminating and uplifting talk on the unrealized possibilities of human potential.

Rev. Kathy Zavada says that she is always learns so much from Jean:

“I must say every time I talk to Jean even briefly, I feel like the seeds of possibility for my own life and its expression are nourished,” Rev. Kathy shares. “It seems to me that Jean’s ‘factory setting’ is set on a perennial openness and awareness of the inherent possibility in every human. That twinkle in her eye, seems to be because she knows we have profound untapped capacities and she is going to spend every moment of her extraordinary life encouraging that capacity into full expression!”

Guest Speaker

Gary Zukav is our guest speaker on this Special Easter Celebration Service!

And, Rev. Kathy Zavada will also be with us for prayer, meditation, music and song.

Is there a difference between the teachings of Christ and the teachings of Christianity?

In my experience, Yes.

Christ opens my heart. Christianity closes it. Christ welcomes me. Christianity judges me. Christ loves me. Christianity threatens me.

What causes these differences? What can I learn about myself from them? What can I learn about love?

I am looking forward to speaking with you about these things on Easter.
