WISE UP: Soul
Each day we make decisions and each decision often has many good options. It’s not so much which is the “right” choice, but which is the “wise” choice. Wisdom goes beyond right and wrong, and brings to light which choice is best based on the complex realities of life. So join us as we WISE UP in knowledge, understanding and instruction.

It is well, it is well, with my soul."

A soul without a center has difficulty MAKING DECISIONS.
"We feel honestly the pull of many obligations and try to fulfill them all. And we are unhappy, uneasy, strained, oppressed, and fearful that we shall be shallow… We have hints that there is a way of life vastly richer and deeper than all this hurried existence, a life of unhurried serenity and peace and power. If only we could slip over into that Center! We have seen and known some people who have found this deep Center of living where the fretful calls of life are integrated, where ‘No’ as well as ‘Yes’ can be said with confidence."
