This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful; in a word, more alive. ~ Alice Waters
Welcome to “Paths of Heart“- a high spirited, heart-centered community where we gather together in music, poetry, commentary, and dialogue to create and nurture joy, compassion, gratitude, and love – in our own lives and throughout the world. Paths of Heart is a 501(c)(3) Human Services/Educational non-profit organization that uses the arts, especially, to encourage and propel seekers of a better, more peaceful world to find ways to serve, while becoming more kind and compassionate human beings.
We welcome you as we collectively and individually explore the sweet mysteries of life – this is an invitation into co-creation! Our gatherings are most every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. at 117 Evans Drive in north Fort Collins. Childcare is available (please let us know ahead of time so we can make arrangements).
We hope our paths cross soon!

Dumping Ballast
Pat Kendall, Ph.D., a healing practitioner with LifePath Consulting, will be sharing her ideas on a process we might find useful as we “intention into” 2018. In a recent blog post, Pat writes, “So often our intentions and promises to ourselves for the year ahead feel more like weights than wings….What if that weighed-down feeling comes from trying to rise up, to add new behaviors, new regimens, new changes, without dropping any of the old ballast that’s keeping us grounded? It’s hard to soar if outdated and limiting beliefs, decisions and reactions are anchoring us firmly to old ways, attitudes and energy levels.” Pat will be sharing tools we can use to dump some of our old, limiting beliefs that may be weighing us down. Let’s all soar in 2018!
“Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they’re yours.” ~ Richard Bach
“There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.” ~ Carl Sandburg
“It’s only out of reach when you choose to keep your feet flat on the floor.” ~ Lana M. H. Wilder |

The carport area is reserved for folks with special parking needs. Out of respect for our neighbors, we ask that you kindly refrain from parking on Evans Drive beyond our property line.
