SUNDAY, November 24, 2024
10 AM
This Sunday at New Thought Center, guest presenter Tracy Spring will share selections from her “Songs of Hope and Humanity.” She has created and compiled this body of work to honor and celebrate the enormous potential and capacity of our human family for compassion, acceptance, courage, and resilience. Tracy also draws inspiration from Nature’s cathedral. She embraces the beauty of our connections to each other and to the natural world.
Tracy will be doing both program and music, and since she is primarily a musician, there will be lots of music. Basically it will be a mini-concert of uplifting original songs.
“In my travel itineraries,” she writes, “I like to include Sunday services, sharing my musical offerings with any congregation where the guiding principles of Love and acts of kindness are paramount.”

Tracy Spring
A songwriter and performer with decades of experience and impressive credentials, Tracy continues to write music that speaks to the Heart and helps unite us as we strive to create more understanding and peace in the world.
To support others who want to develop and refine their skills, Tracy will offer a songwriting workshop on Sunday from 2-3:30pm. (See separate article for details.)
Tracy Spring was raised in the Pacific Northwest in a family loosely associated with the Methodist Church. She enjoyed participating in choir, bell choir and summer camp. But her most important spiritual education was not in any church.
Tracy explains, “My family spent an extraordinary amount of time out-of-doors, my father being a freelance photographer and my mother, a freelance writer. They covered stories about interesting people and places, mostly in Washington, Oregon and Alaska, that appeared in the Seattle Times and numerous other publications.
From an early age, I recognized Nature as sacred and holy space. I sat still in the forest, and listened. While I appreciated the loving teachings of Jesus Christ, organized Christianity never resonated with me.”
In college, she took an Oriental Art and Religion course, which introduced her to the teachings of Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Hinduism, Jainism, and Shamanism. A few remarkable explorations into psychedelics led her back to the sacred forest. The cathedral of Nature showed her the undeniable interconnections of all living things, affirming what she had sensed and felt as a child.
