Bless the Mamas!
What better place to be than Gaia's Temple to worship the Divine Feminine on Mothers Day? Mothering is a verb and a Mother is anyone who has nurtured, supported and loved you into being. Join us as we gather to feel our gratitude for and bless the Mamas in our lives! Bring the women in your life who match this description so they can be properly honored. Ladies, come and get your rose!
Blessed Be,
Rev. Judith Laxer

Cease Fire!
Featuring Vocalist Nedra Gaskill, with Kathy Sestrap on Piano.
The element of Fire brings powerful transformation. Fire must be tended to keep it from growing dangerous. We already know how to fan the flames. Have we forgotten how to put them out? What does it take to cease fire?

Exalt the Women!

Take A Leap!

A Great Transformation!
Featuring Aureole Lighten and Joe O'Malley, with Drummers Cynthia Ewers, Brooke Greiner, Sally Pendras, Susan MacKenzie and Kathy Sestrap on piano.
It’s common to enter a new year wanting to begin again. Sometimes all we need is a re-commitment to something already precious to our hearts and souls. Times like these, when the entire world is in agreement that a new year has begun, is when we can use the momentum of the collective and renew our commitment to the highest good of all. In other words, the perfect time for a great transformation.

The Soul of Winter
Winter's aesthetic may be stark but it is no less beautiful. The depth and quiet of this dark time brings necessary rest. When we hold the season with reverence for what it is, and not disparage it for what it isn't, we meet the soul of winter. Join us as we worship Her season of restoration as we prepare for Yule!

The Blessings to Count!

Blessings,

The Wisdom of the Crone!
Featuring Vocalist Aureole Lighten, with Kathy Sestrap on Piano.
The Crone aspect of the Goddess is one of the wisdom of lived experience. She is the wisdom keeper, the reliable truth teller, the compassionate presence. As the veil between the worlds grows thin in season, our worship turns toward the wisdom the Goddess as Elder and Guide.

Featuring: Joyce Allison, and Kathy Sestrap on Piano
There is something particularly poignant about what the month of September brings. Continued harvest. A point of balance. A letting go. At the Autumnal Equinox we cross the threshold into the dark half of the year. This change is necessary for what we gather in season and also in what we release. As the nights begin to grow longer than the days, how might we reorient to this part of the life cycle spiritually? Join us for our 23th Anniversary service!

Featuring: Chanteuse Celia, and Kathy Sestrap on Piano
When the grains are first harvested in season, we know it's time to take stock. Ensuring an abundant future means examining our present practices. How might these practices become devotional, soulful? What must we do, and what must we cease, for the sacred?

At Liberty!
July 9, 2023 2 pm Pacific
Shoreline UU Church:
1st Ave. NE Seattle, WA 98155
Featuring: Teresa Tudury and Kathy Sestrap on Piano
This month, as we celebrate the birthday of our country, freedom is up for examination! While we all know what it means to be free, we might not know that our freedom depends, not only on the laws of the nation in which we live, but our personal mindset with rules of it's own. Join us to contemplate how freeing ourselves from limited thinking, upholds the ideal of freedom and justice for all.
Thank you for listening,

A Fathers Love
As Father's Day approaches, we turn our thoughts to the men who provided the place-holder for the masculine in our lives. What kind of fathers did we have, what kind of fathers are we, what kind of fathering is needed now.

Mothering the World!!
Regardless of our age, we all need the comfort of sweet maternal love. We also know that we must be what we wish to see in the world. As we celebrate Mother's Day in Gaia's Temple, we will contemplate the kind of mothering we can bring and offer to the Earth and thereby to all who dwell upon Her.

The Mysteries of Egypt
For the Ancient Egyptians, the afterlife was of the utmost importance. So many questions are asked- and remain unanswered- about Ancient Egypt. Her mysteries abound! Join us as Priestess Yeshe Mathews from the Goddess Temple of Mt. Shasta shares some of the mysteries of Isis, and Rev. Judith shares some stories of her recent pilgrimage there.

Love Makes It Possible!
The signature of this time on the Wheel of the Year is potential.
Mother Nature is awakening from Her long Winter’s nap,
and new life is stirring, rising to the surface of Her body.
What is awakening in us in season?
When we ally with Her to maximize our potential,
our manifestations shift from possible to probable.

Armistice!
It takes courage to be peace, to call a truce, to enact armistice.
To lean into our faith enough that we feel safe.
We are not practiced at this, and we need to be.
Join us to explore what it means to devote ourselves to peace,
to be peace makers, to risk laying down our arms and our armor
to create peace on earth.

Soulful!
When we think about wholeness, we consider that it must be body, mind and soul; the physical, the mental and the spiritual. In this season of giving thanks for the bounty of Mother Earth, what does it mean to live soulfully?

The Key!
The stories we hear about our Ancestors hold the key to the legacy we inherit from them.
Once we receive an inheritance, we get to choose what to do with it.
What will you do with your Ancestral inheritance?
