Sophia in Action

Debbie Baker: A Wife, Mother, Dental Hygienist, Cancer Survivor and Woman by Debbie Baker

Submitted by Adair on Aug 31, 2011

‘I wonder if they know I’m Jewish!’ I said to myself as I entered the July 2009 workshop entitled Mary Magdalene Re-Visioned, led by Nancy Corbett and Carolyn Rivers. I was soon to find out that this was not a seminar on religion, but the beginnings of a new spiritual journey of my own.

After two episodes of cancer – one in 1995 with throat cancer and then again in 2009 with breast cancer, it was time for a new and re-visioned ME.

  • The only thing we need to be saved from is our insane thinking.
  • Do you have faith in the power of the disasters you’re facing or in God’s ability to handle it?
  • It doesn’t matter where the issues came from, they are yours now. Focus now on not coddling the neurosis, but on becoming what you need to become.
  • God has an answer at the moment the problem occurs.
  • Get over the thought you can be happy if you’re not doing what you need to become what you need to be.
  • They say the devil’s in the details. The devil’s in the speed.

Terry Monell: Art as Self Discovery

Submitted by Adair on Aug 31, 2011

With characteristic foresight, Carolyn Rivers decided to implement a new visual arts initiative at The Sophia Institute. Speaking with Terry Monell at length about possibilities, the mini curriculum was born.  Following the principles consistent with the vision at Sophia, the art program blends in seamlessly. Its objective follows the idea of transforming people who transform the world.
