The pre-gathering is held to celebrate 3 main things, our loved ones that we only get to see rarely, to meet new people drawn to the Fellowship, and to deepen our spiritual awareness and expression. We also nourish our bodies with good breakfasts and lunches.
We will begin Wednesday the 15th at 9:30 AM with coffee, tea, and juice with granola and yogurt and fruit. There will be a donation basket for you do make a donation. The idea is that we can have a healthy morning meal while reconnecting with our dear friends. And we’ll all help clean up so we begin by 10:00.
The morning study sessions are from 10-12:30 PM. Then a Lunch break with Judie Midgett’s Wonder Soup, Salad, and Bread from 12:30-2:30. There is enough time to visit, go out if you like, or catch a nap, but be back by 2:30 PM. The Afternoon sessions are from 2:30-4:30 PM.
The Wednesday evening session begins at 7:00 pm. There is no evening session on Thursday night. On Friday evening the main gathering begins with registration at 5:00 PM, so our afternoon session will be over at 4:00, and then we’ll help set up.

“What you will find is the Law of Love, and that Law, that One Law speaks in such a manner as to say: Love yourself, your Source, and others equally, not loving self more and others less, not loving others more and loving yourself less, not loving God more and loving yourself and others less."
"But if you have loved yourself enough that you cannot be offended when others do not agree, then you will learn to see that those who are unkind are those who are in pain, and you will not be available to be hurt by insults or by such actions as are meant to hurt and such. You will simply know yourself to be alright. You will not be a victim. You will be alright, and in that alrightness you will have the strength to give healing to those who do not feel alright about themselves.”
The Fellowship Game
The Fellowship Game was created by Annaleah Atkinson to use the teachings of Inner Light Consciousness (ILC) to connect with our Source. Within the heart of humankind, there is a deep desire to connect with our Creator. Within the heart of the Creator is great joy when we do. Groups come together not by chance, and a group that is joined for each other’s highest good, and open to Christ’s Presence, is a powerful transformational tool. As one player said, “The Fellowship Game is a source for answers, a tool for enlightenment and education, for self-realization and personal growth.”
Every prayer we ask is answered, but we are not always tuned in to hear it. People come with a prayerful question. Playing the game demonstrates 3 ways prayer can be answered. By observing it (cards), our own inspiration that comes during the experience, and/or from hearing an idea in a conversation one might have with another. Synchronicity. Players all agree to listen for inspiration for themselves and others. All cards are shared, as others at the table might also have a similar question. And at the end, all the knowledge received is synthesized together to get the answers and inspiration. And it’s also a lot of fun to play! Much gratitude to Rev. Paul Solomon for giving us ILC! And blessings to Rev. Annaleah Atkinson for her creativity and vision.
