CREATING BEYOND THE BOX OF CONVENTIONALITY  provides us with yet another opportunity to uplift the power of creating what we want in our lives and moving beyond the mediocre to realize the magnificent beings that we are.

We will re-discover how to tap into the infinite possibility of the universe and celebrate who we are through the infinite power of creativity.

We will re-vive the pure potential that called us before our birth to begin the process of unfolding God's good through our imaginations, gifts, and talents.

 God is a Brown Girl, Too®, founded by Reverend Cecilia Loving, is dedicated to the spiritual empowerment of women and girls of color throughout the world.

When this community of like-minded women comes together some magical always happens.  We remember that the celebration of our lives is not important just because of our connection to the oldest bones known to man but because of our divine legacy.

We remember that God is neither He nor She but the substance of life itself in which we as women also live and move and have our beings.  As heirs to the Divine, we are spiritual beings in physical form.

When we fail to embrace the divine, the inexhaustible source of our spiritual power, we make ourselves even more vulnerable to marginalization by others. But when we realize God as ourselves, we support the cosmic transformation of the entire world.

As descendants of the mothers of the earthly realm, we should all recognize that we are co-creators of Spirit, constantly creating.   Our ultimate victory is our awareness that we are not separate from but are One with omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence.

There is no need to wait for or search for the Kingdom of God, which is within and is expressing as us.   Thus, God is a Brown Girl, Too is not only for "brown girls" everywhere but for the conscious evolution of all humanity.

As Reverend Loving writes, "salvation is not merely faith, but knowing that we are the pure potential of infinite possibilities and the beautiful miracles of inexhaustible supply.  If we could just open our eyes to envision all that we are, we would defy the logic of the physical realm; we would surpass the boundary of fear; we would unravel the beauty of our minds constantly creating; we would soar higher than egales; we would swim the deepest depths of our souls; we would pull the limits off of love, and truly realize our greatness.  We would tell a new story -- never told before . . . .that God is a brown girl, too." 

The highlights of the schedule are always ever evolving through whatever Rev.Loving receives from the Holy Spirit, but will at least include the following:
