Julie BrockIn July of 1701 the French colonized city of "the straights" (Detroit) officially became incorporated. The next three hundred years were a complicated tale of colonialism, industry, government sponsored racism, and unimaginable resilliance. Come celebrate with stories of the city and learn the lessons of a region that intentionally marginalized an entire population, and what we can do about it now.Sun Jul 27, 2025 10:30am - 11:30am Sunday Service: A Message from the Margins ~ Gregory SmithA Message from the Margins will be a call to listen more deeply into the voices, stories, and truths that often go unheard. In this message, we’ll explore the spiritual and social realities of “the margins”, those spaces where people are pushed, silenced, or overlooked. We will consider who draws these margins, and why do some stay there generation after generation? Those who control the margins often control the narrative. This is a message about reclaiming voice, restoring dignity, and realizing that justice doesn’t flow from the center, but from the edge.Sun Aug 03, 2025 10:30am - 11:30am Sunday Service: Global Health Charities - Addressing global infant and maternal mortality locally with compassion and innovation ~ Lee SzubaGlobal Health Charities focuses on reducing infant and maternal mortality by providing a clean birthing environment for mother and baby with our Clean Birth Kits.Sun Aug 17, 2025 10:30am - 11:30am Sunday Service: Question Box Sunday! ~ Rev.

Circle of Conscious Evolution Discussions-MBR
Ayahuasca: A Sacred Path to Healing and Transformation
Katie Testa is a healer and guide dedicated to deep personal transformation, conscious communication, and integrative healing. Drawing from Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), and developmental models like Integral Theory, Spiral Dynamics, and the Enneagram, she helps individuals navigate inner healing with compassion and clarity. She is trained in psychedelic preparation and integration, supporting those who seek expanded states of consciousness for growth and healing. In addition to her work with plant medicine, she is a trained birth doula and a volunteer with the No One Dies Alone program, holding space for life’s most profound transitions. As a mother of four, she brings a deeply nurturing presence to all she does.
For centuries, indigenous traditions of the Amazon have worked with Ayahuasca, a sacred plant medicine known for its profound ability to reveal, heal, and transform. Today, many seekers turn to Ayahuasca ceremonies for personal insight, emotional healing, and spiritual growth. In this talk, Katie will introduce the history and purpose of Ayahuasca, explore why individuals are drawn to plant medicine, and offer guidance on preparing for and integrating an Ayahuasca experience. Through personal stories and experiences she has witnessed, she will illuminate the healing potential of this sacred medicine while addressing common questions and concerns. Whether you are simply curious or considering this path for yourself, this discussion will provide a grounded and thoughtful perspective on working with Ayahuasca as a tool for deep transformation. A Q&A session will follow.
