The dream comes into a clearer vision and then reality through the good works of many.  I have been dreaming and talking about 108 union for about the past 10 years and the time is now!  The hope for our Vision and Advisory Collaboration on December 5th is to bring together the critical mass of interest in order to bring this into reality!

108 Union will be a creative healing space where everything is all good -  when you walk though the door there is a good feeling and you just know that here and now you can be in the space of well-being –

Services will include healing arts such as massage, energy work, reiki, yoga, art, nutrition and sound.

There are wonderful spaces for art openings, events, concerts, kirtans,  classes and even the development of micro-enterprises – we support self-compassion and empowerment for individuals as well as the community

Come in for a cup of tea, a quiet space to unwind, meet friends, enjoy healthy local foods, a class, a massage, a float, something to eat, flowers or gifts, or any combination of the above.

We would love to hear how you might like to participate.

Please feel free to respond with your own appreciations.  At this moment I am grateful for the sweet efforts of Samantha Pooler who is bringing this webpage to life.  I am grateful for the ever present patience and understanding of Steven Kowalski, for my Mom and Dad and their belief in my abilities as a human being. For Connor who is a constant wonder and delight, that my sister Kate will be coming from Maryland for the Open House on December 5th.  I am also ever grateful for my sister on the path, Lis Rolfe-Albright who is a manifestation of all that is beautiful in the world, and for the fact that I am happily employed for the time being.  I could go on and on, for life is very good and there are so many teachers and sojourners who also share in the love of this journey….

There are new Yoga Classes with MaryClare listed under the “Yoga” tab at the top of the page. There will be updates made often, so be sure to check frequently!

So it looks like for the most part this episode of 31 Days for change has turned out to be a personal journey for this writer.  It turned out to be a deep going within, of accepting, sitting with resistances, more accepting, cleansing and letting go,  appreciating some aspects that have always been present, even if not seen   – – – – some good, some not so good, but accepting them none the less as either something to enhance or something to acknowledge and release –

Many more changes are coming!  new yoga classes, new training, traveling, retreats, archetypal astrology, dancing, heart and mind metaphysical counseling services.  working toward a deeper listening and embracing of the wisdom in our bodies –

31 Days for Change is moving to March – Interest meeting next Sunday at 6:00pm.  email maryclare.oconnor@gmail.com for details.

31 Days for Change is a grassroots Wisdom Initiative fostered by an independent coalition of interested individuals.  The idea is to create clusters of awareness over a particular period of time where individuals can share their talents and efforts to create community that recognizes the value of mindful being.  In a way we seek to create a more just society that realizes the value of love and beauty in our lives – to develop an appreciation for the interconnectedness of beings – human and otherwise along with the Earth which fosters our lives.

The Northeast Energy AmeriCorps program aims to make a significant difference in how community members understand and consume energy.  The plan is to provide extensive community outreach at large and specifically in the Hamilton Hill neighborhood.  We plan to hit the streets to create a green zone awareness, host at least 20 community presentations and workshops,  help 100 homeowners and renters choose and complete applications for funding and incentives, help 30 households to receive home assessments and actually weatherize their homes.

As part of the Community  Outreach we hope to weatherize the YWCA gym – Education is key and members can play a large part in designing and delivering the benefits of conscious energy consumption.

All the best,

MC

It makes me smile to voice the words “hello world!” in my mind.  At once I feel joyous and humble before the enormity of potential available to each of us as human beings.  My parents raised me to believe that I could do anything  to which I set my mind – powerful stuff – a powerful creed to live by.  While I always appreciated their belief in my abilities, I never fully understood how true it could be.  Self doubt and hesitation have often stopped me in my tracks.   I am very happy to be coming more fully into the belief that what one thinks becomes reality.  If the quality of our experience is determined by our reaction or response to stimuli it is our perspectives that guide us- so if our actions can be guided by conscious positive thought and intention we will make wonderful space for Good in our lives which of course vibrates in the world.

…so the next time someone smiles at you and says have a good day – look them in the eye, smile, say “thank you!  I will” and feel the vibration! –

all best,

mc
