Gratitude for the Great Work
After receiving the IONS Shift Report which was recently mailed to IONS members and listening to James O'Dea's President's Update: World Wisdom Council, I can only say that I feel blessed to be at the frontier with IONS during the grandest Shift of our times. James, Seattle is really looking forward to your third visit here, May 4-6, 2007 on the theme of An Emerging Science of Peace and Transformation, a collaboration of IONS Northwest and Seattle Unity with several Northwest organizations in support. From past time spent with you, we are all confident that this wise, holistic vision of peace will be passed on through your presence. I encourage everyone to read and share the description written for your May 4 Seattle event linked above...that message alone is profound. Similarly, this teleseminar archive shows the ground work for personal and planetary transformation into peace in IONS domains of science, healing, and ancient wisdom.
Since Unity is now a partner of IONS, Seattle Unity Church, an awesome ministry that is organically connected to spirituality and healing as well as Northwest bioregional change and has been a friend to the work of IONS Northwest for many years, is enthusiastically welcoming your May 4 event in their Sanctuary. We thank our colleagues for their support as well as the many Northwest organizations which stand with us in mind, body, and spirit. We will be posting the names of these supporters soon.
Moreover, I am so looking forward to the dialogue with grass roots peace makers at the reception we will be holding for you before your event. And the IONS NW Community Group Leaders from 4 states and Canada can't wait to once again spend retreat time with you May 5-6. We are all looking forward to this precious time. What a blessing for us in the Northwest!
Your great vision, James, is a beacon. And the staff that stands in unity behind it is an anchor. Thank you all! Unity is such a symbol for the great work ahead. The path is before us.
Great Thanks...Great Peace...Great Love!
Susan Burns
IONS Northwest
