Give Back to Homebound Veterans
Nov 8 all-day
online

This Saturday, November 11 is Veterans Day and we want to say thank you to all of our homebound clients who served our country—we thank you for your service.

We are proud to deliver #MoreThanMeals to over 200 veterans.

In honor of Veterans Day this Saturday, consider making a donation that will bring nutrition, connection and independence to homebound veterans in Greenville County.

Faith + Justice Forum
Nov 8 @ 9:30 am
Gunter Theatre

As the holiday season starts with Thanksgiving leading the way, many of us count our blessings for all that we have. During this season of gratitude and giving, we may also consider others who are less resourced. Perhaps we volunteer to serve Thanksgiving turkey at a shelter or take a child’s name from an angel tree to provide holiday gifts.

This forum will expand our minds to consider the 365-days a year reality of racial and economic injustices and inequities. We will be inspired by the soulful lyrics of Kyshona Armstrong and then hear the stories of some of our neighbors navigating our housing, financial and criminal justice systems. These stories will challenge our beliefs about why so many people are financially insecure and inspire us to seek solutions.

Village Engage’s Faith & Justice Forum: Economic Liberation for All is a daylong event designed to inform and connect us with inspired solutions and people working to build a community where everyone can thrive. The symposium includes live entertainment, panel discussions and a networking lunch.

For more information about the speakers at the event visit villageengage.org.

NEW OPEN FORUM SERIES ON THE TAROT
Jan 14 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Carolina Karate & Fitness Center

We would like to welcome you to an Open Forum discussion on the Tarot, Qabalah and the Path of Return B.O.T.A. style!

New Open Forum Series on the Tarot

In this series, we will take up each key of the Major Arcana singly and in sequence, first looking at their magical images, which will lead us into a discussion of the meaning of their symbols, and practical uses in our spiritual work.

To make this series accessible to all aspirants, regardless of experience, we will use only 4 B.O.T.A. publications as our resources:

The Tarot, Key to the Wisdom of the Ages, by Paul F. Case

The Highlights of Tarot, by Paul F. Case

Inspirational Thoughts on Tarot, by Rev. Ann Davies

The Book of Tokens, by Paul F. Case

We will have these books on hand to use during the Open Forum along with an essential resource of a good dictionary. You may also purchase them at our Online Store at: www.bota.org

This is also a forum to ask any questions you may have about the Order, our lesson curriculum, the Western Mysteries, and meet like-minded spiritual aspirants on every level of the Path of Return. This is a down-to-earth meeting with an encouraging and supportive vibe and sharing with each other. We are cultivating a community of TRUE B.O.T.A. aspirants who are interested in the Path of Return as taught by our Founders and our only teachers, Paul Foster Case and Ann Davies.
