We hear much talk about shifting to clean power that
doesn’t pollute our world. Can we do the same with our
relationship to our personal power?  This week we’ll explore
what inner clean power feels like.

Rev. Gil Olmstead is RGCSL’s Spiritual Director. Rev. Gil’s ministry and service is grounded in collaboration, community, and compassion. When he first came to RGCSL, he felt it was home. He’s excited about our magical journey together and for what is unfolding.

Rev. Gil also works with his wife, Robyn, in their ministry, Live Inspired. They host "Rockin’ the Love," a weekly podcast, where they share insights from over 20 years of spiritual play, disappointments, triumphs, and growth as a couple.

Laura Webber

I have many creative expressions that bring me so much Joy. I am grateful to be able to share one of those- my voice, with you.

I have loved music and singing since I was a little girl. Singing in school and church choirs, to competing on Karaoke stages, to finally coming HOME to spiritual communities. I thank you from my heart for allowing me to join your family today ….
In Peace & Love.

Renee Perkins

Renee has been composing and playing music since she was a child. As the years progressed, her passions evolved into songwriting and singing.

She was a proud member of the Agape International choir and performed in various venues throughout the US.

A Practitioner since 2001, you can now find her serving and singing for CSL Colorado Springs. Her desire is to continue to write songs that are uplifting, inspiring, and make the heart sing. The world definitely needs more happy hearts!

Solid Grounds Announcements

RGCSL Healing Circle

We are pleased to have Kim Peabody with us this Sunday, offering therapeutic hugs and tantra meditation. Kim brings eight years practice of tantra, a self-awareness modality used for opening chakras and bringing forward emotional stagnations. “Being hugged by Kim feels so incredibly nurturing. It's like being in the arms of The Divine Mother.”

Board of Trustees Changes

On Monday, September 23rd, Yvette Trujillo submitted her resignation from the Board of Trustees. Primarily, Yvette cited her impending position at a CSL community in Santa Fe, along with having diminished time to serve RGCSL. 

We are saddened to lose a powerhouse community and Board of Trustees member like Yvette. We are deeply grateful for the innumerable contributions she has made to RGCSL, especially during the last year serving as Vice President for the Board of Trustees. We will have an opportunity to express our gratitude to Yvette in the next month or so.

The Board moved quickly to fill Yvette's vacancy, as well as induct two other new Board members. We are pleased to welcome Sheryl Rae, Terry Burns, and John Tallon as our newest Board members. They were elected by the remaining Board members and will be ratified by the RGCSL community at its Annual Meeting.

The new Board also unanimously elected Sherry Noone to serve as the Vice President for the remainder of 2024.

In the coming weeks, please take a moment to thank Sheryl, Terry, John, and Sherry for their willingness to serve in such an important role for our community.
