DESCRIPTION:This study of Sacred Earth Sacred Soul by John Philip Newell is
  designed for maturing Christians who wish to go deeper in their explorati
 ve journey of comprehensive mystical spirituality. This study is designed 
 to help participants “Wake Up” to the spiritual callings from Creation
  and to “Grow Up” to face as Spiritual people the evolutionary wisdom 
 of our Celtic ancestors assisting us in maturer ways to face the challenge
 s of life today in all its manifestations.\nIt is eye opening as we discov
 er nine saints of Celtic Wisdom both ancient and modern. The life and witn
 ess of these people give us a foundation for a mature\, inclusive faith jo
 urney that closely resembles the faith journey and teachings of Jesus and 
 his followers but tailored to the modern life with modern understanding an
 d tools that we have today as we follow God our loving Creator as interpre
 ted for us by Jesus\nTo attend this program\, which will enhance your spir
 itual vision\, participants must agree to read the book by John Philip New
 ell titled Sacred Earth-Sacred Soul. The book is available in second-hand 
 bookstores as it was originally published in 2021 in paperback. The book i
 s also available in electronic form from Kindle. Kindle is available from 
 Amazon.\nThe course will uncover the many uses of the term Celtic both his
 toric and modern. Newell uses it to loosely mean the developed form of Chr
 istianity with the focus on the developing faith in all the areas of the G
 alic Empire before the Roman conquest. The countries of what is today Euro
 pe were under Celtic leadership until about 250 AD. Rome conquered all of 
 Europe except for small portions of the British Isles. Scotland\, Wales an
 d Ireland as well as a tiny fraction of Northern England. All remained Cel
 tic after the Roman invasion. St. Paul began Christian work around 50 AD i
 n what is today Turkey but was then a part of the Galic Empire. Paul’s p
 lanted church began a process of intermingling the Christian understanding
  with the Druid understanding of a life journey with the Creator. This cre
 ation-based church spread over Europe. We will see how its sparkle is stil
 l alive in the hearts of Celtic people today.\nOur eight-week book study w
 ill uncover the links between Spirituality and Creation. These links build
  a comprehensive foundation to meet the severe challenges of the 21st-cent
 ury\, with all this new learnings and challenges which include food insecu
 rity\, migration\, violence and climate change. \nThis study may open doo
 rs to new patterns of problem solving and understanding complexity. Newell
 ’s goal is to help us understand a new function for Religion in the mids
 t of the challenge.  We will understand Celtic Wisdom as a re-awakening t
 o what our souls know as well as wisdom to heal our world\nParticipants wi
 ll be expected to learn with each other and reflect upon our faith journey
  through new eyes as mystical Christians on the pilgrimage of life.\nEase 
 of Read: easy to moderate\nFree Study\; Cost of Book $21 (paperback on Ama
