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!

Easter Sunday,
April 16th
Please join us for our Easter potluck following our Paths of Heart Gathering! Bring a dish to share and your own reusable plate and utensils. We’ll provide reusable cups, cloth napkins, and a variety of beverages. Our aim is for zero waste at our gatherings. We thank you and the environment thanks you for being mindful!
Our discussion this Sunday (before the potluck) will focus on the Easter themes of rebirth, resurrection, and renewal. We all have the ability to “Begin Again” in every moment, to wake from our deep sleep and celebrate a new life of love, joy, and gratitude. Bassist, Marty Rein and Emma Sloniker will join us in musical merriment!
“As wave is driven by wave
And each, pursued, pursues the wave ahead,
So time flies on and follows, flies, and follows,
Always, for ever and new. What was before
Is left behind; what never was is now;
And every passing moment is renewed.” ~ Ovid, Metamorphoses
“For within your flesh, deep within the center of your being, is the undaunted, waiting, longing, all-knowing. Is the ready, able, perfect. Within you, waiting its turn to emerge, piece by piece, with the dawn of every former test of trial and blackness, is the next unfolding, the great unfurling of wings, the re-forged backbone of a true Child of Light.” ~ Jennifer DeLucy |

Last month, the Paths of Heart Community decided to sponsor a child through Children International! We are excited to support and nurture Brithany, an 8 year old girl living with her family in Quito, Ecuador. Thank you so much for your ongoing donations which will help support this unique sponsorship that breaks the cycle of poverty and helps Brithany grow up healthy, educated, and empowered! What a beautiful opportunity to be of service!
If you know of other service projects we might participate in, locally or globally, we are always open to suggestions.
