Quote of the month


"
Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of receiving anything in return."


By Peace Pilgrim


Welcome to the Divine Connection Network.

Do you struggle to find people in Basel that you can share your inner beliefs with? Do you want to meet and connect with people at a deeper level? Do you want to share experiences of inner growth? Do you feel isolated and alone? Are you aware of the awakening Consciousness? Do you want to be a true creator in your life?

If this sounds like you, become part of this metaphysical community. The intention is to bring like-minded spiritual people together. It doesn’t matter what you do; energetic work, massage, coaching, kinesiology, etc, a working professional or a stay at home parent. This community is intended to support us all.

We meet monthly and each meeting is different. So you may get to experience: a philosophical discussion; a spiritual movie, meditation, processes or techniques to help you on your journey, mini-workshops, book reviews…and so much more. And of course you will get a chance to mingle and share with other like-minded souls and maybe connect with some new friends.

This group is wonderfully supported by Centrepoint, Basel and is run as one of their many fantastic programs that they have for the English-speaking community. For more information about Centrepoint please do check out their website. http://www.centrepoint.ch/

This blog has been set up as another tool on which we can all connect, as we often have busy lives and can't make the meetings. I update it monthly and that we can at least stay in touch between meetings, please feel free to start a post or comment on other posts.


MEETINGS

Become more involved in this community...

Do you have a natural gift or skill you would like to share with the DCN community?

Or do you know of any workshops that our group might like to know about?

Do you want to help to run this community group?


The DCN is always looking for speakers for our monthly events. If you think you can help or know someone who might be a great speaker or is holding workshops then let me know. It is always good to advertise and let our community know what is happening, especially when it is in English.

I have found that within our own community there a lots of people who know great things and it would be great if you would choose to share it with us. The last time I asked the community for help I had a great response, so it really made me realise what great people you all are with fantastic information that we would love to hear.

If you would like to help keep this community group going then we are also looking for help on the committee, to do Administration, develop the future of the group and other small jobs. If you would like to help in anyway then please contact Dawn

It's Valentines

Happy Valentines. :-)  Whether you are spending it with a loved one or loved ones, take a moment or three to love yourself.  We often forget to as we have been taught that it is being selfish or narcissistic.  (But then no one needs to know) Truly Loving ourselves first, gives us the wisdom and steadfastness to then love others from a place that is more wholesome and ecologically sound.  We should really do it just for them anyway.  So how are you loving yourself today?
