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!

Paying it Forward
Paying it Forward is an interesting expression. While it might mean something a little different to each of us, it usually involves doing good for someone else in response to someone having shown us some form of kindness. Instead of “paying someone back” we pay it forward. This can create a wonderful cycle of generosity and kindness in our world. Bring your stories of paying it forward to share – as givers and recipients!
Teresa Funke will join Mark this Sunday, sharing from her blog posts, and Judi Lucero will join in on the music!

Looking Ahead/Notes of Interest
Sunday, April 21st ~ We’ll celebrate Easter with a potluck immediately following our gathering. Affirming great weather so we can have it outside!
Tuesday, April 30th ~ Next Song Circle7-8:30
** King Soopers Gift Cards – King Soopers is changing their Neighborhood Rewards program!! Their new program will allow those who support us to simply use their registered King Soopers loyalty card to earn funds for Paths of Heart! Any gift card reloads prior to April 1st will still earn 5% for Paths of Heart, but any reloads after that will not benefit us. Whatever money you have left on your gift card will not expire, but once you have used it up, you can discard it, and going forward your loyalty card will serve as your support!
You will need to register your loyalty card online to link it to Paths of Heart. Many of you probably have an online account already, where you load new coupons and digital offers from King Soopers on a regular basis. If so, just go to your account, scroll down to “Community Rewards” on the left hand side, click on it and search for Paths of Heart by name or our new NPO (Non-Profit Organization) number RG782. Once it pops up, just click “enroll” and you are done!
For those that don’t have an online account, you’ll need to create one for your purchases to benefit Paths of Heart. This just requires some basic information, a valid email address and your loyalty card number.
Thanks so much for participating in this fundraising program; if you have any questions or need help registering your loyalty card, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
We hope this change will allow and encourage more people to support our non-profit with greater ease!
If you are an Amazon shopper, please consider shopping through Amazon Smile and designating Paths of Heart as your non-profit of choice. A percentage of your purchase will be donated to Paths of Heart!
We invite you to visit our website, www.pathsofheart.org. There you’ll find past newsletters, a newsletter sign-up form, more about our organization, a photo gallery, and a ‘donate’ button, for those who prefer to donate to our non-profit with a credit card . Stop by for a visit and please share with friends!

Should those areas become full, please park out on Hwy 1, which has plenty of space and a nice wide shoulder. Please watch for cars as you are exiting and entering your vehicle, though! 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. Car pooling is encouraged. We also have a bike rack for cyclists!
