Nov 5 “Love More, Fear Less with Stash Serafin”, plus a cameo appearance by Janet Berkowitz!
Kalie Marino leads. *Love is flow, fear is friction.When people stuck on hate begin to ease up, everything begins to work and that leads to moments of mellowness–which can be scary because they don’t know how to deal with it.
Also finding peace in polarity; yin and yang aren’t opposites, they are complimentary. Stosh wrote “a little book” about it called /Insight Beyond Eyesight/ and hopes to start a foundation for “Love More and Fear Less. He is also making “Love More, Fear Less” mugs to raise money for the foundation.
*Mime extraordinaire* Janet Berkowitz will join Stash in a short preview of her Nov. 12 fund-raising concert, to be held following peace soup!
Stash was born blind, but amazed the world by becoming a world class ice skater. He continues to take lessons and teach skating to both blind and “sighted” skaters. Known for his inspirational, can do attitude, he was a favorite teacher for “A Course in Miracles” study group for many years in North Wales, PA.
Celebration starts at 10:30 a.m.Hope to see you there!
P.S. If you arrive when we are praying or lighting our peace candle, please honor the spiritual connection by waiting until we have finished to be seated.

Silence is golden and so is the magic of Janet Berkowitz?s mime and dance. Come support Pebble Hill Church while treating yourself to a smorgasbord of skits that address everything from nuclear war to whimsical dreams, from a walk in the park to a walk around the zodiac wheel. Love is the common thread running through the skits that deal with cooperation, honesty, fantasy, and world peace. A delightful combination of music, props, and costuming keeps the audience enthralled and guessing. Some say she is the best mime they have ever seen and the only mime that dances. Janet is a rare treat and real super star! Don’t miss her performance.
Janet has been performing since high school. Among other things, she performs in the mental health field where she playfully teaches creative arts and mime?acting workshops. She also performs at Birthday Parties, Theme Parties, and social events. Pebble is still her favorite venue.
(That’s November 12th?at 2 pm, right after the Peace Soup meal at Pebble Hill Interfaith Church, 320 Edison-Furlong Road, Doylestown, PA 18901, $20 in advance and $25 at the door. No one turned away.)

*Nov 26 On Dying: 1st Sunday of Advent. Norm Danis leads, taking his subject from the book, ‘Who Dies?’ by Stephen Levine. Dying is also about transition: the dying of the old in preparation for the coming of the New, thus, we segue into the Christmas season: the birth of Jesus and a new age; a star appears to lead the way–following your star; realizing rebirth and what is coming forth in you.
*Dec 3 “My life among the Sikhs of India” with Rev. Kalie Marino MSW. Like Jesus, Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism was an Avatar, born God realized. He was the first interfaith teacher, teaching equality of religions, classes, and sexes.He said, “We are all brothers and sisters under the love of the same God.” The Muslims and the Hindus were killing each other in his time and he brought peace and respect between them as he demonstrated the hypocrisy of some religious customs and superstitions. He taught a life of love and service to the poor and each other. They demonstrated that every day I was living in their community in India. Spiritual life and ordinary life are the same for them, for they serve God in everything they do, whether it is in business or in the temple. They are amazing people and are often confused with Muslims because they too wear turbans. Very relevant to today’s issues.
Kalie is a spiritual teacher, author of “Breaking Free from Critical Addiction: Our #1 Social Disease” and holistic counselor who has traveled the world studying with many powerful spiritual masters who authorized her to teach. She has taught seminars on “A Course in Miracles” since 1978, initiated over 2,000 people in Transcendental Meditation, was the director of a Kundalini Yoga Ashram, and later founded “The Open Heart Institute” to teach year-long courses in *Spiritual and Holistic Counseling* in both NY and PA.She is a Clinical Social Worker, Interfaith Minister, respected leader in the field of personal growth, and popular public speaker. Her unusual background in quantum physics theory, psychology, and spirituality makes her uniquely qualified to share a practical perspective on creating positive change.
