Those ‘atmospheres’ can now be measured by scientific instruments. Pearce says, “Our thought atmosphere contains our own magic medicine. We can learn how to let it radiate for our own best healing.” The fellowship, located at 87738 Highway 101 (at Heceta Beach Road), is wheelchair accessible. Each service concludes with refreshments and a dialogue circle to explore the ques-tions that come up during each worship service.
