New Years Day Burning Bowl
2027-01-01 12:00 - 14:00 UTC
Our Annual Burning Bowl Ritual has been a favorite at CSLDallas for over 20 years. We begin by releasing 2025 along with whatever we don’t want to keep carrying around, Let’s burn up the old, literally! Let that sh*t go! Then we pause, for a moment, in the sweet in-between. A breath. An opening…and then the possibility.
How will we take up the challenges of this New Year? Not with a list of resolutions, nor a list of fears. Rather, we listen for the revelation in the whisper of our heart or the shout from our soul - who will we be? what will we contribute? where will we stand?
This year we practice letting go and then taking up in a whole new way! Explore and experiment with Rev Marquita as our guide.
The only way out is through, and the only way through is with intention, practice and community. Let it be us, traveling together through 2026, in co-creation with each other, with the soul of humanity, and with the unquenchable universal presence of Divine Life, Light and Love!
The Event Includes:

Powerful Music
Compelling Ritual
Freeing Fire
Observing Self Awareness
Engaging in Simple practice
A Way to Move Forward

Following the ritual join us in Berrong Lounge for light snacks
Bring the whole family! JOY Village will be open and celebrating with a burning bowl experience for the kids and teens.

Move your body, let go of the pragmatic world, and let your senses guide you into Soul Science!

Lastly, as we come back into our bodies, we pause for a short break before moving into a guided mind-map exercise followed by small group dialogue.

Awakening the Oracle Within – Sacred Travel to GREECE with CSLDallas and Spirit Tours
2027-05-21
Travel with CSLDallas to Greece in 2027
For thousands of years, pilgrims journeyed to Greece seeking wisdom from its sacred temples, mystery schools, and renowned oracles. They came with life’s deepest questions, longing for clarity, guidance, healing, and transformation. This pilgrimage invites you to discover that the greatest oracle has been within you all along.
Awakening the Oracle Within: Ancient Wisdom and Sacred Revelation
For thousands of years, pilgrims journeyed to Greece seeking wisdom from its sacred temples, mystery schools, and renowned oracles. They came with life’s deepest questions, longing for clarity, guidance, healing, and transformation. This pilgrimage invites you to discover that the greatest oracle has been within you all along. Join Rev Marquita and Dr Petra May 21 – 30, 2027.
CSLDallas, led by Rev Marquita Pierre-McAlister, and Spirit Tours have partnered together to deliver an intimate 10-day pilgrimage. You’ll experience Greece through both the eyes of a traveler and the heart of a seeker. Walk where Socrates challenged conventional thinking, where the Oracle of Delphi inspired generations, where the Mysteries of Demeter celebrated the cycles of life, and where Meteora’s monasteries continue to beckon the soul toward higher vision. Along the way, you’ll participate in thoughtfully designed ceremonies, reflective practices, and meaningful conversations that connect the timeless wisdom of ancient Greece with the questions and possibilities of your own life.
Each sacred site becomes part of a transformational journey—from awakening the mind in Athens, to opening the heart beside the Aegean Sea, to discovering courage at Thermopylae, rising in spirit at Meteora, listening deeply at Dodona, honoring the past at the Nekromanteion, and finally arriving at Delphi, where the ancient inscription Know Thyself continues to echo across the centuries.
This is far more than a tour of Greece. It is a pilgrimage of remembering. A journey inward as much as outward. Ancient Greece is not simply a collection of temples. It was a civilization asking profound questions and they will be asked of you along this Journey of the Soul. Are you ready?
Surrounded by extraordinary beauty and a supportive community of fellow travelers, you’ll return home not only with unforgettable memories, but with greater trust in your own inner wisdom, a renewed sense of purpose, and the confidence to live from the guidance of the oracle within.

Sunday Celebration Announcement – Assumes Rev Marquita is doing it herself
Good morning, CSLDallas family!
Have you ever dreamed of walking where Socrates taught, standing before the Oracle of Delphi, or experiencing the breathtaking monasteries of Meteora?
In 2027, I’m thrilled to be co-leading a sacred pilgrimage to Greece with Spirit Tours and Dr Petra Weldes called “Awakening the Oracle Within.” This isn’t simply a sightseeing vacation—it’s a transformational journey through some of the world’s most sacred places, where we’ll explore ancient wisdom, participate in meaningful spiritual practices, and discover that the greatest source of guidance has always been within us.
Together, we’ll visit Athens, Delphi, Meteora, the Temple of Poseidon, and many other extraordinary sites while connecting the timeless teachings of ancient Greece with our own spiritual journey today.
If this speaks to your heart, use the QR Code to go to Spirit Tours’ website for all the details. Including our Zoom Informational Call. Know that we expect this to sell out quickly since we are limiting it to a small group. We’d love to have you join us for this unforgettable pilgrimage.
I trust you’ll consider giving your Sacred YES to awakening the oracle within.
