IMPORTANT UPDATE: Rev. Therese Says Goodbye

Dear One Spirit Community,

Spirit has been calling.  I am listening.

Beginning in late 2025, I began receiving clear messages from Spirit to “clear the decks” and step away from the many wonderful projects and communities that have nourished me so deeply, filling my life with purpose and connection. I’ve been reluctant to heed the call, but it has remained steady and persistent, clearly making room for something new!

July 28th will be my last day with the Daily  Morning Meditation Sangha, now in its 6th year of daily service. Join me on 7/28 at 8am to bring closure (for me) to this incredible endeavor.

Founding this sangha and then serving as part of the team has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. I am profoundly grateful to have journey alongside so many of you over these years.  Together, we held one another’s hearts through a time of profound fear, uncertainty and upheaval.

The wonderful team remains strong and deeply committed, so The Daily Morning Meditation will continue without interruption.

As I look at the world today, it feels as though COVID may have been a dress rehearsal for the uncertainty we are not witnessing as authoritarianism and division continue to rise.  More than ever, we are called to keep our hearts open. 

May we continue to hold each other’s hears and hands as we help bring forth a world rooted in kindness, love, courage and mutual service.

We are stronger together.

With deep gratitude and many blessings,

Namaste, dear ones.

With love,

Theres

Rev. Gabriele Ganswindt is a graduate of One Spirit Interfaith Seminary (2008) and serves as an "underground" minister supporting leaders and professionals in both the USA and Europe as an executive, life, and legacy coach and organizational consultant. She is a psychologist by training and has been a life-long learner on how to inspire and foster life-affirming workplaces and noble leaders. She is president of Shared Learning International, an international leadership development firm near Boston. She has studied with Margaret Wheatley for 30 years and been in training as a Warrior for the Human Spirit since 2015. She serves as a senior student with Meg Wheatley. Most recently she created an "O.as.is" in her hometown, Wellesley, MA. It is a sanctuary, an island of peace and sanity bringing leaders and locals together in community to practice being peaceful warriors in these days. Gabriele is excited to bring this offering, a natural next step to deepen One Spirit ministry, to One Spirit at this time. (gabriele@sharedlearningint.com)
