Divinities Ministry & Life Services

03/16/2022

I need help. I have many connections here but often my posts go unnoticed.

I’m planning a major move & right now, I’m mostly doing it on my own.

I’m not a superhero.

I need help. A lot.

If you have skills: planning, organizing, packing, insight… I’m reaching out.

I’ve dropped all my filters.

DM or comment.

I need my friends and support network.

I can’t do this on my own.

If I mean something to you… if I’ve touched you, helped you, if I mean anything to you…

I need you now.

Thank you. ��

As our planet and our people are both healing, take a moment to just recognize how well loved you are. In whichever faith path you walk, even if it is no faith, be blessed. If you can give, please consider giving internationally or locally. Every and any bit helps.

Hello...anyone have any recommendations for wedding vendors? I'd like everything from where to get clothing and where to actually get married to who married you. I'm looking for who catered the event, who wrote the ceremony, who did makeup, who took photos/video, who decorated the venue, who made cake, from where the flowers came and who provided music. (I have a lot of this already, but I'm creating a vendor list for my ministry, so if YOU do any of this and would like to be included, either add a comment, or send me a private message!)

My website is getting updated as we speak!

Also, if you do something that isn't normally viewed as "weddingy" but you can sell it, let me know; I'd like to provide a very full, rich offering.

Finally, I also do baby and house blessings, coming of age ceremonies, rededications for couples honoring an anniversary and singles self-empowering and more. Don't hesitate to present your ideas!!

Hello, my friends! As we begin our summer, I thought I might share some occasional words of wisdom.

The thought for today is something I share with my children all the time: Be HERE now.

We spend a great deal of focus on later: what do I need to do at work today? What will I make for dinner tonight? What bills are due this month? How many calls & emails do I need to return?

Be HERE now.

That doesn't mean ignore your responsibilities; naturally, the wisest of us knows about balance. What this means is to simply be aware of the CURRENT moment, connect and be present.

What are the things YOU do to increase your awareness and presence in the NOW moment? Let's hear!

Our community lost a great man - Wade McDowell - an amazing father, husband, friend and role model. Let us hold him and his family in prayer and know Divinity in Its many forms is wise beyond our comprehension. May Wade's family & friends be blessed in ways to let us know he is happy and well in the arms of bliss.

Hello!

Several of you are aware of the Year Long Spirituality Course I offer every year. It remains huge success and I am beginning another year long workshop for those who may be interested.

Send me a FB email with WORKSHOP INQUIRY in the title and I will elaborate on what you can expect: participation requirements, fees, etc.

If you'd like to participate, please send me an email with WORKSHOP REGISTRATION and a teeny bio about you and why you feel like you would benefit, if you're certain you'd like to participate. *Seating is limited* so keep that in mind.

The workshop is not gender/race/religion/creed/sexuality/age specific but does predominantly focus on teaching the basics of Pagan Spirituality without implying any one Spiritual path is "correct."

The first meeting is scheduled for 11/20 from 11 AM to 4 PM in Amherst, so please submit requests by 11/04. I will contact you no later than 11/11 with additional information.

Thank you!

Warmly,~Rev. Chrystel / Ocean
