Colleen Rice — From Harm to Healing: How Communities Can Prevent Violence Before It Begins
2026-02-08 10:30 - 12:00 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Leader — Jen Gibson
Speaker — Colleen Rice
Title — From Harm to Healing: How Communities Can Prevent Violence Before It Begins
Topic — Domestic violence does not emerge in isolation—it grows in the gaps where communities are under‑resourced, relationships are unsupported, and systems fail to uphold dignity, equity, and compassion. In this talk, Colleen Rice, Executive Director of the Richland County Domestic Violence Shelter, explores how communities can move upstream to prevent violence before it starts. Drawing from decades of advocacy, survivor‑centered leadership, and community development work, Colleen illustrates how prevention is not only possible but deeply interconnected with the principles of worth, justice, compassion, and the interdependent web of life.
“From Harm to Healing” ultimately affirms a powerful truth: when communities unite around dignity and justice, we create the conditions for peace—one relationship, one family, and one compassionate act at a time.
Bio — Colleen Rice serves as the Executive Director of the Richland County Domestic Violence Shelter, where she leads a mission to build a peaceful, just, and compassionate community. Under her leadership, the Shelter provides comprehensive, life‑saving services—including 24/7 shelter, crisis hotline and chat, emergency hospital response, and specialized advocacy for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, stalking, and strangulation.
Colleen’s career reflects a deep commitment to the inherent worth and dignity of every person. Her leadership spans nearly 30 years of community and leadership development work and public health.
A barrier‑breaker and equity advocate, Colleen became the first woman to serve on the Western Reserve Masonic Community Board and has served on the National United for ALICE advisory board, advancing racial and economic equity for working families. Her work recognizes that true safety is inseparable from justice, compassion, and community collaboration.
Through her mission‑driven leadership, Colleen is dedicated to expanding access to safety while building pathways to healing, empowerment, and prevention—rooted in the belief that a peaceful future is possible when communities come together with courage and care.

Speaker — Josh Ghiloni
Title — I Know Reincarnation is Real, and I Didn’t Even Have to Die to Prove It
Topic — As I finish my 45th rotation around the sun this week, I have come to realize that I haven’t lived a life. I’ve lived at least 2 distinct lives in the past and I’m on my third right now. I’ll delve into how my past experiences really do feel like past lives, what I’ve learned from them, and what I want to share about them.
Bio — Josh is a self-styled software goblin who prides himself on knowing a little about a lot and a lot about a little, but it took becoming a UU to realize the thing he knew the least about was himself. He lives in Bellville with his wife Karli, son Russell, and two dogs who have never been awake and quiet at the same time.

Rainbow Eagle — About Today & Future Prophecies From Indigenous Cultures
2026-03-08 10:30 - 12:00 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Leader — Margaret Lin
Speaker — Rainbow Eagle
Title — About Today & Future Prophecies From Indigenous Cultures
Topic —
Bio — Rainbow Eagle, a.k.a. Rolland J. Williston, is a member of the Okla-Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma. He was honored to participate in the International UFO Congress in 2011. He has taught overseas 47 times in the past 40 years. A personal vision has been given to him by the Great Mystery through major ceremonies:

To be in the midst of many Native communities and traditions, and to have a strong relationship with Mother Earth.
To visit Indigenous elders in order to recover as much of the ancient knowledge as possible.
To conduct various ceremonies patterned after elders and his personal vision.
To share the teachings of an ancient Peace Shield drawing at this time of the 7th Fire—“to help Earth Walkers come into relationship with all life everywhere.” This drawing was handed down to Rainbow Eagle in two winter visits with Erv Romans (PEN-NA-SHE of the Martin Clan), last of the Ontonagon Band of Ojibwe/Anishinabeg.

His second book, Native American Spirituality: A Walk in the Woods, includes teachings related to natural spirituality, “Peace Shield” teachings, and prophecies of both North and South America, as well as spiritual guidance about preparing for cosmic relationships.
Rainbow Eagle’s third book, The Ancient Roots of Christianity: A Native American’s Look Through Christianity, is also available. His view is that, “Until we have the courage to ask questions about our spiritual roots, whether they are from Christian, Native American, or other traditions, we will remain separated from our true spiritual identity.” In reference to Christianity, he says, “It’s not about finding the most pure form of Christianity, but more about how each individual can experience Yeshua personally.”

Christopher Reynolds — It Is the Morning of the Age of Aquarius: Answer to Job
2026-03-22 10:30 - 12:00 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Leader — Jen Gibson
Speaker — Christopher Reynolds
Title — It Is the Morning of the Age of Aquarius: Answer to Job
Topic — It is now the Age of Aquarius because the sun at spring equinox is at the edge of the constellation of Aquarius, the Water Bearer. Full spiritual maturity invites us into collective stewardship of ideas that in the past were the province of private groups. Central to this is taking up responsibility for our imago dei — image of God.
In the past, this information was hidden in the Book of Job. There are things that Job and his community know about the transformation of the God-image through time that the All-Powerful, All-Knowing, All-Good Divinity in the story does not know. Job knows that God is going to die, be transformed, and evolve with humanity.
It is morning in the Age of Aquarius and we are all called to rise up for our sacred labors of the evolution of the God-image.
Bio — F. Christopher Reynolds, M.Ed., is a singer, teacher and alchemical bard. His mission is to sing the dream of Peace on Earth onward through songs, writings, ritual, healing concerts and workshops. He is a singer-songwriter with 20 releases. His publications include depth psychology, soul, creativity, and giftedness. He is a ritual consultant for Warriors Journey Home. Learn more at his website: urrealist.com.
