Seminary Class 2012
The Tree of Life Seminary Program has been my anchor for the past two years. It has deepened my connection to the Beloved, opened my eyes to new horizons, and has kept me on course to listen, to cultivate and eventually to harvest my heart's desire. It has allowed me to trust in the course that the Divine has laid out for me, that I am enough! And that I am fully equipped to set sail with my ministry - offering my love, compassion, and presence to all the beautiful souls on the threshold of life and death. Julie A. Beauchemin
Life is a journey that is very difficult to navigate at times. The seminary process has guided me through many rough seas. I believe there is an orchestration of the cosmos - guided by a gentle God - even in the face of adversity. If we can slow down and open our hearts, there are many Graces that can be discovered along the way. This, I have experienced. This, I need to remember as I walk my path. Lisa A. Koziell-Betz
The Tree of LIfe Seminary has offered me an opportunity for very personal spiritual discovery. Laurie Frances Biggers
Seminary was a journey of reconnecting with the Divine by sifting through the layers of resistance and discovering the gem in each experience along the way. I found the treasure itself to be the Sacred Space within my heart, the space which holds the Divine presence and my connection to all beings. I can't think of a better way to be of service than to live from this space. Andrea Carta
This part of my journey through the Tree of Life Seminary has guided me to understand the manifestation of my ministry vision to serve those I love and all who have come and will come into contact with my life and service. I have cultivated a caring and spacious heart to truly be present for people through love, light, joy and laughter. Lorrie F. Kuhn
I came to the Tree of Life following the call of the Crow. I have found friends, love and fellowship. I have found a spiritual foundation upon which I will build a Tree of Life community in the Manchester area. Rita M. Legere
The time I spent in the seminary program put me at the knee of our teacher, Stephanie, as well as all the other beloved and wise members of our class. It allowed me to shed layers of resistance so I could land, softly and humbly, in the heart of God, surrendering myself to accept my higher calling. I am here. I am listening. If you knew yourself for even one moment, if you could just glimpse your most beautiful face, maybe you wouldn't slumber so deeply in that house of clay. Why not move into your house of joy and shine into every crevice! For you are the secret treasure-bearer, and always have been. Didn't you know? - Move Into Your House of Joy." Rumi Clarice Smith
