SUMMARY:In-Person lecture: WHAT REALLY MATTERS
DESCRIPTION:What Really Matters\nA FREE Inspirational Talk\nby Nicole Virgil\nWhen finding solutions seems difficult\, it’s often because we are having trouble knowing what matters. But the right kind of vision (hint: it’s spiritual) allows us to discern what is actually important. Christian Science reveals what is essential\, brings solutions\, and enables us to live God-impelled lives that bless our families and communities.\nAbout Nicole Virgil\nNicole’s father was a freelance church organist\, and her parents attended services at many different Christian churches in New England. Her mom had been on a years-long search to find out how to practice Christian healing just as Jesus did\, and when she started attending Christian Science church services\, she found what she was looking for. As a result\, Nicole was raised in Christian Science\, and developed a deep desire for an intimate relationship with God. \nNicole studied Christian Science with her mom and music with her dad\, and found that each discipline complemented the other. Christian Science healed performance anxiety\, while learning music honed the skills she needed for spiritual practice — skills such as intuition\, listening\, patience and diligence. \nThroughout her life\, Christian Science and music have always overlapped. After studying opera at music school\, she took her one-woman opera review program (That Can’t Be Opera!) on the road\, educating audiences about opera by singing Mozart\, Puccini and Menotti. \nChristian Science guided her through this entrepreneurial endeavor\, just as it led her to start soloing in churches as a teenager (which is something she still loves to do!). Nicole eventually married\, started a family with her husband\, and entered the public practice of Christian Science. \nToday Nicole enjoys raising children\, gardening\, soloing in church\, and witnessing the healing effect of Christian Science. \nThis free talk is sponsored by\nFirst Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Tacoma\, WA

SUMMARY:In-Person lecture: LEARNING TO LOVE YOUR ENEMIES
DESCRIPTION:Learning to Love Your Enemies\nA FREE Inspirational Talk\nby Giulia Nesi Tetreau\nLoving your enemies can sometimes feel impossible. Christian Science proves that loving your enemy is not only possible\, it is natural.\nBut what does it look like to lead with Love\, instead of hate? Giula Nesi Tetreau says study of this divine Science — and answering Christ Jesus’ call to “love your enemies” in your life — replaces anger\, hurt\, and injustice with forgiveness\, freedom\, and peace. \nJoin us for this free Christian Science talk with Giulia Tetreau\, an international speaker and Christian Science healer\, on Sunday\, Oct. 20\, at 2 p.m. at the Christian Science Church\, 902 Division Ave.\, in Tacoma\, WA. The talk is free\, open to the community\, and hosted by First Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Tacoma. \n“Is someone in your life hard to love?” asks Giulia. “Loving others\, including those who may feel like enemies\, can sometimes feel impossible. Christian Science proves that loving your enemy is not only possible\, it is natural. But what does it look like to lead with Love\, instead of hate? The study of this divine Science and answering Christ Jesus’ call to ‘love your enemies’ in your life replaces anger\, hurt\, and injustice with forgiveness\, freedom\, and peace.” \nSharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science\, Giulia will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific\, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves\, as fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures\, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement\, Mary Baker Eddy. \nAbout Giulia Nesi Tetreau\nSays Giulia: I’ve always loved people — their life stories\, their struggles\, their successes.  I regularly meet individuals actively cultivating their spiritual life.  And I love sharing Science and Health with them! \nI see much of my own journey in these seekers.  A few years into my career in the mental health field\, despite having achieved professional success\, I felt empty inside.  I had everything I’d been taught would make me happy but instead was dissatisfied and restless\, yearning for something deeper.  That’s when I was introduced to Christian Science through Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures\, by religious reformer\, Mary Baker Eddy.  In it\, I found a shared sacred space with the author and experienced a profound sense of coming home. \nSome years later\, I was compelled to leave my psychotherapy practice to focus completely on my Christian Science healing practice.  It was an imperative demand from within me — I had to be true to myself. “His word is in my heart like a fire…I am weary of holding it in” (Jer\, 20:9 – NIV)\, I needed to practice in the way I understood would be most helpful. \nSince then\, sharing the revolutionary message contained in the pages of Science and Health has been the cornerstone of my life.  I helped oversee the worldwide activity of bringing the book to a wider public audience.  I also managed a special project established to respond to the growing interest from health care professionals in learning more about Christian Science. I’ve lectured to the public in a variety of settings and venues\, from prisons to professional health care audiences and everything in between. I love all of it! \nWhat a special opportunity Christian Science lectures provide for opening the way for the spiritual seeker in all of us to learn\, grow\, and heal.  I welcome all inquiries! \nThis free talk is sponsored by\nFirst Church of Christ\, Scientist\, Tacoma\, WA.

SUMMARY:In-Person lecture: LEARN TO PRAY AND HEAL (A SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE)
DESCRIPTION:Are prayer and healing for you?\nSpeaker Nate Frederick asks this question in his talk on December 10th.\nSays Nate:\nAre prayer and healing for you? I mean\, if you have no experience with spirituality or religion\, or you’re not even sure what you think about God\, can you still pray and be healed? \nYes. Because prayer and healing are natural to us\, and I say this as one who didn’t even grow up in a religious household. But what I’ve discovered as I’ve studied Christian Science is that a willingness to shift perspectives\, to see things in a new\, more spiritual way\, has an effect–for anyone. \nLike in the case of an inmate I worked with. As I shared the basics of Christian Science with him he said it all sounded great but he was just a bad person. He seemed pretty convinced that healing wasn’t for him. But as we talked about the fact that he wasn’t defined by his past\, but by God\, his source\, who is completely good\, I could tell his thought about himself was changing. \nAnd then he wanted more. So he took a copy of the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s book\, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures\, back to his cell and started to dive into these books. Six or seven weeks later\, I ran into him again and he told me that he’d been healed of a serious illness–just from studying the Bible and Science and Health. His study helped him grasp God and his life in a new way and his disease was cured. \nIn my lecture\, I’ll share more about the fundamentals of effective prayer\, as I’ve learned from studying Christian Science\, as well as how healing is truly possible for everyone. \nPrayer photo by Ben White on Unsplash
