New this Issue:

As fall approaches, we welcome everyone to our October/November issue of Inner Tapestry, and the exploration of our theme "Charity". Our cover artwork and articles this issue afford us the opportunity and space to journey within ourselves to feel what Charity means to each of us. A quick scan of the dictionary shows that it is something given to those in "need". Also mentioned is kindness and tolerance in judging others.

I find for myself that with the onset of fall the feeling of settling into a deeper place within, comes to me as if I were sitting in front of a fire, wrapped in a soft blanket, nurtured by the feeling of the warmth received.

I look forward to exploring for myself how I am in relationship to "need" and where I can look to expand myself into kindness and tolerance and a more charitable way of being. I hope that you will also find yourselves beginning that journey as we continue with our next few issues that will build upon that place within us all.

There are many new workshops and events coming up this fall, Women in God's 4th Annual Spirit in Action Conference on October 27th. Harold McCoy is coming to Yarmouth, ME and Windsor, CT from the Ozark Research Institute. Michael Redsky of Redsky Healing is spending time in Maine this fall offering healing sessions, sweat lodges and drumming circles. Circles of Wisdom in MA has a varied list of visitors, workshops and an exciting collaboration with 9ways Mystery School and Bön Shen Ling to host Geshe Chongtul Rinpoche from Menri Monastery for a 10 day REIKI training in May! We all hope that you have fun exploring the many listings for workshops, classes and practitioners this issue has to offer.
