• 2025-02-16 Cultivating A Heart At Peace Rev. Dr. Johanna van Gelder Rev. Dr. Johanna van Gelder explores the transformative power of cultivating a heart at peace during the Season for Nonviolence, drawing inspiration from Senator John Lewis's commitment to seeing the divine spark in every person - even those who opposed him. She distinguishes between acting from a heart at peace versus a heart at war, showing how justification and "horribilizing" can escalate when we resist returning to love. Rev. Dr. Johanna van Gelder offers practical tools for this daily practice, including listening to the body's wisdom, inviting just two percent more love, and channeling beloved mentors in difficult moments.
• 2024-10-27 Part 4 of 8: "Seven Gifts that Give you Everything Rev. Dr. Johanna van Gelder Abundance Project Rev. Dr. Johanna van Gelder explores the transformative power of giving as part of the Abundance Project series, drawing from Derek Rydell's teaching that whatever is missing in our lives is what we are not giving. She illuminates seven "abundance activators" - giving out, giving away, giving up, giving in, giving thanks, giving to yourself, and forgiving - showing how each practice opens the channel for spirit to flow more freely through us. Using personal stories and the beautiful metaphor of a dried fern returning to life with attention and care, Rev. Dr. Johanna van Gelder reminds us that our source of abundance is not external but the infinite invisible energy within.
