The Power of Love and Diversity

May 22, 2018 by Christine Lines Leave a Comment

Exploring the value of diversity and inclusion was our theme for the 2018 Gathering. Following on from our heartfelt time together earlier this month, ripples continue to flow out through the many centers we represent and into the world.

Carol Donahoe, Program Director of Omega and co-host of the Gathering, shares some thoughts that came to her this weekend as we watched the Royal Wedding together early Saturday morning.

Bishop Michael Curry shared this quote in his sermon, ‘We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love. And when we do that, we will make of this old world a new world. Love is the only way.’ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. [Read more…]

The Value of Diversity and Inclusion

January 13, 2018 by Christine Lines 2 Comments

Our 2018 webinar series began by exploring ‘The Value of Diversity and Inclusion in our Holistic Centers’ hosted by the Omega Institute in upstate New York. This is a theme Omega have been actively diving into for nearly four years and although they don’t claim to be experts they offered practical tools that we can all learn from.

Carol Donahoe, Program Director of Omega, began by sharing how life changing the conversations have been and highlighting the necessary first step to embrace the learning journey, “It’s vital to have everyone on board. The leadership team must be in agreement that this topic is a priority.”

Insights from Diversity Webinar

March 23, 2017 by Christine Lines 2 Comments

Our monthly webinar in March focused on the theme of diversity and participants contributed from The Haven in BC, Canada, Breitenbush Hot Springs in Oregon, Abrevista in Florida, Omega in New York and the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland.

In advance of the call, we were invited to reflect on the following questions and this formed the framework for our discussion.

1) How do you define diversity?
2) What is your Center’s current conversation/focus around the topic of diversity?
3) What action steps (if any) toward diversity are happening at your Center?
4) Do you have any success (or movement) stories around this topic?
5) Where do you find resistance, struggle around this topic in your Center?
6) What are small steps that you’ve taken (or seen) that you think would be great
to share with the other Centers?

Unity in Diversity

January 1, 2012 by Centers' Gathering Leave a Comment

Welcome to 2012, may it be a year filled with peace and love, joy and harmony, health and happiness all over the world.

Sharing words of wisdom from Eileen Caddy

Let there be unity in diversity. See the many paths all leading to the centre, each one different and yet each one leading in the same direction. The closer they come to the centre, the greater the unity, until all become one and there is no longer diversity but complete unity.

You will find it taking place more and more with the many centres of light all over the world. As the world situation grows darker and worsens, so shall they grow brighter and brighter, until light overcomes all darkness.

It is good to see a wider picture of what is taking place, but it is also very important to realise that it all starts within you. Realise that what is taking place within the individual goes out into the world and is reflected in the world situation.

That is why peace of heart and mind is so essential within you, and why harmony, understanding and deep love should flow between you and others.

The 2020 Gathering…

The international Centers Gathering was originally being hosted by Esalen in May this year, the birthplace of the human potential movement,

Given the unexpected crisis around the world, with many people 'staying in place' and centers closing temporarily, HCN is now offering a virtual gathering for holistic centers.

We come together to meet the challenges, and embrace the opportunities of an ever deepening sense of community, in service to the renewal and rebalancing of the world.

Network of Light Meditation

Our global meditation to strengthen the network is every Thursday 2pm GMT.

We invite you to join Insight Timer and actively contribute to more stillness in the world.

When you join Insight Timer you become part of a world-wide community of more than 950,000 meditators in 130 countries.

This gathering has been INCREDIBLE. As a small center based way out in Yosemite National Park, I really feel folded into the greater network. This feels so vital. Thank you for creating this!
