Envision Peace with Mary Wimberley & Motivational Musician Ginger Coyle

• Organization(s): Awakened Heart Center for Spiritual Living - Teaching Chapter

Awakened Heart’s Spiritual Director, Mary Wimberley, RScP, will lead the commUnity in a meditative spiritual practice called Visioning. Members will be prompted to ask questions of their divine selves to how the Divine Spirit sees Peace unfolding in our personal lives, our commUnity, and the world itself. The group will have an opportunity to share their visions with each other and notice revelations, possible synchronicities, and perhaps even inspiring sacred action. Visioning is one of the three pillars of the Awakened Heart commUnity that is centered in the Science of Mind spiritual philosophy.

MUSICIAN GINGER COYLE is a spiritual activist and singer songwriter. Her new record “Higher Frequency” explores personal vibrations through the chakras and invites humanity to take responsibility for their contribution to the collective frequency. Offering keynote concerts that combine the music of Higher Frequency with metaphysical insights, Ginger is bringing her message of empowerment, healing, and unity to retreats, conferences, and educational settings around Philly and beyond.

Samples with be given in advance for guidance only. Participants are invited to bring their own wisdom for world peace. Paper and pencils will be available.

This in-person session is intended as a gift to the world for peace in the most troubled areas of the planet.
