Expanding Consciousness in the Community
My definition of Consciousness is simply awareness of what’s going on around us and what’s going on within us. As well, I believe that, as our consciousness expands, our spirituality grows. So, those people who are helping us to expand our consciousness are actually helping us to become more spiritual. The idea of this program is to feature people who, in my opinion, are the consciousness-expanders. They may not all see their contributions as advancing spirituality but, by connecting us, increasing our awareness and encouraging more positive engagement, that’s exactly what they are doing… and they are the ones who I will be featuring on this program.
