Talk Title: One Spirit: One Universal Beingness–In, Around and Through All of Us
Special Guest Speaker: Rev. Ruth Miller, PhD

Sometimes it feels like we’re all alone in this world, separated from the people and things around us, and all too often, from our Source. Yet, in our heart of hearts, we know that we are part of something greater – and that something greater is within us, too. Both science and spirituality teach us that no matter how isolated we feel, we are always affecting everyone, everywhere.

Inspirational Music from
Guest Musician:
Shelly Rudolf

“SHELLY RUDOLPH has been singing, performing and composing for over twenty-five years. Her projects have embraced soul, jazz, blues, R&B, reggae and pop. Music has taken Shelly all over the world with ensembles that range from intimate duets to Jazz Orchestras and most everything in between. She is currently among the busiest vocalists in Portland, Oregon performing with her own projects as well as with jazz innovator, pianist Tom Grant. 

The ever-evolving—and expanding—Shelly Rudolph story continues onward and upward with the release of her latest album, the ambitious and atmospheric The Way We Love, her debut on the Origin Records label. Well-established as an organically-gifted and sultry fine purveyor of jazz, soul, pop, blues and more in the Northwest, Rudolph takes a step forward with her latest project, a drum-less and sometimes “chamber jazz-like” journey into musical terrain both fresh and linked to her continuing story in progress. Embedded on this adventure are key tracks, textures supplied and contextual cues by the lyrical, ECM Records-connected cellist David Darling.
