MAY 24 -  SINKING BENEATH THE CHATTER – AN INTERFAITH APPROACH  - Tina Fire Wolf (Tina Powell) Motivational speaker Tina's purpose is to ignite us, to help us to realize that we are "Spiritually Free." She walks us through a bit of her own "unleashing" – including a 3 foot-tall corn plant growing in her yard overnight – into a place for us to consider a new way of connecting to the world of the unseen, whatever name we give it – God, Higher Self, Great Spirit, etc. And she shares her Tools, Tips and Tales to help us in our journey Home. 

FireWolf says she grew up feral, and then was trained in the fields of biology, education, and interfaith ministry. She is also a self-taught photographer and author of the newly released book of photos and meditations "that will stir you to ask questions, to allow yourself to feel, and inspire you to see life for yourself".

A NEW MODEL OF THE UNIVERSE

  with Dr. Don Emon. 

We are delighted that presenter Don Emon returns to Forum. Don, a retired engineer, has spent four years studying the various models of the universe and existing data.

He will share with us some ideas about the universe including: What has happened in the past?; Where is our portion of the  universe today?; Where does it appear to be going? He is sure that this new model will provide ideas for us to think about and discuss. …

Don has a Ph.D. in Nuclear Science and Engineering and some associated Master's degrees.

Also remember these other two Sunday events: 

the DREAM Scholarship Fun-raising Fiesta for students who must pay out-of-state tuition at NC colleges (four times the in-state rate) in the Immaculata gym,

Both events are at 3 pm. However, attendance at both is certainly easy, since the terrific home-made Fiesta dinner begins at 4 and is on-going until 6, as is the entertainment and remarks by scholarship recipients.
