Concluding this month’s exploration of #ThisThingCalledYou, Rev. Roderick Norton, Founder and Spiritual Director of The Empowerment Center for Better Living, joined us on Sunday with his message, “Prosperity Is The Will Of God For You.”
February is the month with the fewest days—but here at Bodhi, we’re packing that shorter timeline full of educational opportunities to expand your consciousness, continue your spiritual journey and connect with others in our community doing the same. See all our workshops and classes in the coming months at our Education page. Below we’ve highlighted two upcoming in February focused on the Enneagram, and how you can use it to form “Radical Relationships” (next month’s theme!).

After the Celebration Service on Sunday, January 10th, we hosted a New Home Community Meeting to communicate the latest information and updates in regard to our upcoming move, as well as hear input from the community. Below is a message from our architect, Elva Rubio of Rubio Studios, shared with those in attendance. Plus, we’ve included the agenda and notes for download and the slide show presented. Thanks to all who joined us, and for everyone’s continued support as we transition to a new home!
A Message from architect Elva Rubio
This home has served you well in the last 4 years. It has allowed you to create a sense of home, permanency, belonging and contributing to a neighborhood and community. You have also experienced the opportunity to grow, expand and mature.
With gratitude for this place, it is important to take your values, characteristics, visions & aspirations, all that you share, and let the new location unfold. Your new home will reveal profound opportunities and relationships, truly based in your community core and dreams. You have been and will continue to be on a journey of creating a new genre of “Center” which will hold unlimited relationships and possibilities. There is not currently, close example of an organization that compares to the potential of Bodhi. The offerings for our radically changing urban communities are endless. As you innovate and evolve, keep moving ahead “unified” as you do so well with open minds and hearts “And So It Is.”
I have been so honored to be part of your New Home Search and the future of Bodhi. I have been enriched and have learned so much.
The snow has finally arrived here in Chicago! Hasn’t felt like winter without it—we’re currently in the honeymoon stage, before it becomes tiresome and complaint-worthy. This week’s #WednesdayWisdom features that flaky goodness paired with a quote from Ernest Holmes, one mentioned in Sunday’s message by Rev. Lola.
