Gloria\u2019s lecture will be based on her book, Barefoot on Holy Ground: Twelve Lessons in Spiritual Craftsmanship<\/em>, which offers basic truths for crafting and living a practical spiritual life.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we experience the evolutionary shift now occurring in the Universe, the patterns of our lives are speeding up,\u201d she says. \u201cProjects, people and events are coming to us at a blurring rate. We may wonder what to accept and what to reject. We may also ask, \u2018How do I support growth in my corner of the world with positive action and at the same time accept that everything is as it should be?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Gloria says that we need to be both still and skilled to stay consciously poised and balanced during this significant energy shift, which can produce a lot of personal and global chaos. It is a time, she says, when everything hidden has to come to light.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce we awaken and are committed, we become caretakers of the new vision for our Earth. That vision asks us to become \u2018practical mystics\u2019 whose inspirations are from the heavens and whose feet are on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a quote from her book, Gloria writes, \u201cWith every step on the Path, we are invited deeper into a love that is both mysterious and so practical that it transforms everything it touches. Love continually corrects our meandering and brings us back to center. It realigns us with our purpose and breathes through us into the world. It stretches us until we know no strangers to our love. Love takes us into the fiery death of lies and resurrects us to truths…\u201d<\/p>\n
