MISSION STATEMENT: To provide service to the CoachellaValley and around the world during these transformational times. We have volunteers who are trained to "listen" to provide support, empathy, and encouragement. Loving Listeners of Light creates a sense of community by asking for donations in the form of money, gas cards, food, or a good deed. The money will go to paying for expenses to maintain the program and to assist those who need it in the community. In addition, food, gas cards and other gifts will be distributed back into the community. If a person cannot offer any the above then they will sign a "Good Deed Card" and mail it back to Dance In The Light Spiritual Center. They will agree to "listen" to someone else, take them to the doctor, assist with repairs, babysit or any other way they can help another individual or pet.
VISION STATEMENT: Loving Listeners of Light seeks to support, encourage, assist individuals who are in need of emotional, physical and spiritual support. Loving Listeners of Light was created to encourage community support, love, and Non-Violent Communication around the world.
