Dean's Christmas message

My preparations for this time of year have been put off, put off, put off so that I am only now beginning to unwind. I hear similar stories from students and others that I meet. In wandering about I see people who are deeply ready to celebrate this season. It seems to bring a deep desire to touch others and to experience connection in a way that is possible, for some, only at Christmas time. In Hawaii that sense of connection persists year round in the spirit of Aloha.

This year we will celebrate the traditional (British Isles) Christmastide, or 12 days of Christmas, with a series of images and quotations from Thane’s lessons curated by Alana Fennie. I hope this gift will help you to dive deep into the spirit of this season - of completion and renewal - and will provide a window upon your own Innate Beingness and the ever-presence of divine fulfillment.
