March has been an exciting month at the Monastery, filled with lots of activity. We started off with a
two-week devotional with 14 participants from Australia, Canada, and the US. Participants were given
the space and support to go inward, feel into their inspiration, and find and nurture the spark of the
heart’s deep calling.

March has also been a month of joyful celebration! We have both a new licensed minister and a new
Messenger of Peace. During the devotional, we held a joyful and reverent licensing ceremony in the
chapel for Jane Marie McGrady as she became a licensed minister. She is the first participant to have
completed the Mystical Mind Training Program. On the same day, Jason Press became a Messenger
of Peace. For his first church service as a Messenger, he treated the congregation to a musical feast!
Jason started the service by playing his saxophone with no preparation, no planning. It was a wonderful
demonstration of stepping into fear to experience the joy of discovering the unreality of the fear. And
such beautiful music!

The new periphery house, Master Peace, high up on the ridge of the canyon, has been a wonderful
backdrop for joining. We’ve joined together in cleaning, painting, and general fix-up to prepare this new
home. A 10-day devotional will be held at Master Peace from April 13-22.

David spent a couple of weeks at the Kalani Retreat Center in Hawaii this month. In April, he is off to Las
Vegas for a gathering.
