Welcome to Agape East
Rev. Victoria Thomas
Spiritual Director
Welcome to the Agape East Spiritual Center! We are a modern Omni-faith-based community, a
community committed to personal transformation, spiritual growth and conscious awakening to a life
lived on purpose, by Grace. We embrace all religions, all spiritual paths, and all of humanity regardless
of orientation, perspective, affiliation, and identity. All are welcome here.
No matter where you consider yourself on the spiritual journey, know that it is a Spirit of courage that
chooses to be alive, walking a path of awakening consciousness at this time in human history on the
planet. I bow to you and welcome you to a home of heart and soul.
We practice an awareness of the presence of God, the Absolute Love-Intelligence that creates
everything out of Itself. We know that everyone is at one with this Power and Presence and as a
community, we seek to be an environment for individuals to wake up to this spiritual truth.
We seek right seeing, a knowing beyond the five senses that in back of appearances and circumstance
there is unity, justice, wholeness, giving-ness, and love seeking to unfold as a world that works for
everyone.
We activate spiritual practice rooted in self-love through meditation, affirmative prayer, sacred study,
fellowship, tithing, and sacred service. We support each other in fellowship, love, compassion, and patience. This entails individual inner work of spiritual healing and personal transformation as well as the outer work of generosity, service to our communities, and taking a stand for social justice and racial equality.
We hope you will come back again and again so that we can know and love you as we all anchor the
transforming power of Unconditional Love together in our community, individual lives, our families and
the world! Please browse our classes, events and regular weekly offerings and join us. Right where you are the Light and Love of Truth prevails and unfolds your very life!
Welcome to Agape East.
In Love and Light,
Rev. Victoria Thomas
Monthly Themes
Radiance
This June we celebrate Radiance as out monthly theme. We awaken fully now, from a seeming long slumber, emerging into the fullness of the Summer Sun. Let us find ways to step into the game of living our own lives fully now, stepping out from the sidelines of playing small and dimming our light. Life and our time here together is more precious than ever.
The Freedom to fully shine, fully Radiate our greatness, our compassion, our generosity, our understanding, our creative gifts and talents, without a sense of withhold or embarrassment, without compromise or defensiveness is at hand now. This is Radiance, unabashed courage and love.
Happy Pride! Happy Juneteenth! Happy Father’s Day and Happy Summer Solstice!
In Love and Light,
Rev. Victoria
The Divine Feminine
May is here and with it, an enjoyment of the new baby birds and wild animals, new tree growth and beautiful flowers of Spring! It is no wonder we celebrate Mother’s Day this month, for the Divine Feminine is making Herself known and available to all with Nature’s magnificence in the play of the circle of Life.
Our theme this month is The Divine Feminine, giving us an opportunity to lean into a greater awareness of the qualities of the Goddess: Creativity, Intuition, Compassion, Wisdom, Sensuality, Gentleness, Receptivity, Nurture and Nature.
Whether we are born into masculine or feminine bodies, we all have access to the embodiment of the Divine Feminine and Her qualities. Let’s celebrate!
In Love and Light,
Rev. Victoria
Delight
This month let us rejoice in the Light of our Consciousness for we are pure Consciousness, created from Love and for Love.
During the last year, retreat, seclusion and even isolation brought forth new priorities in our hearts. We have all been reformed internally in one way or another. Now we are Resurrection.
As in Nature, everything is born again. We too are raised up by a Power and a Presence that created us out of Itself and placed all of Its Beauty, Grace and Bounty in us. Now we are Ascension. We say YES to new opportunities to Love again, to bring Peace and Hope and the Light of our own Consciousness to the world.
And so it is.
In Love and Light,
Rev. Victoria
The Quickening
This month we celebrate Women’s History and the time of our Spring Equinox, that point of balance between the movements of dark and light, between the movements of our Mother Earth and our Father Sun.
The root systems and seeds that have lain dormant in the cold soil will begin to feel the Quickening of Spirit upon them, and the Holy Life Force will tremble inside and begin to demonstrate outward again in manifestation as Spring, welcomed and nurtured by the warm Sun.
It is the same experience inside the womb of the Mother. The baby is still, held in the womb, a dark and Holy place, and after a time, the Quickening of Spirit causes a tremble, and the mother feels the first kick. Pure Life Force. First Cause. Spirit moving into form. And so it is for us, even now. We are Pure Spirit, ever evolving into new life, new form. New miracles, revelations, insights, deep recognition of our own Name and Nature are available.
We can’t make the Quickening happen, but we can make It welcome by conditioning our consciousness. If we can spiritually exercise and spiritually practice, work toward becoming more open and available for Love to have its Way with us, to reform us, to renew us, to give us new Life energy, to give us breath, to transform our hearts and minds, to help us see with the eyes of Wholeness and Unconditional Love, then we have made ourselves available and conditioned our consciousness for the Holy moment that comes by Grace. The Quickening.
In Love and Light,
Rev. Victoria
Openings
February‘s theme is Openings. This month we celebrate Black History month, offering a powerful book study group, reading #1 New York Times Bestseller, Stamped, and a transformational 4-week workshop, learning and activating the Orishas!
Have you begun to see the red hearts, boxed candy, pink balloons, and red roses in the grocery stores, as I have? Valentine’s Day is always a good time to take inventory of our Heart, the innate purity of our Heart. A personal inventory requires tremendous willingness and availability and….Openness. When we’re Open, we’re willing to expose, at least a little bit, the parts of us that are calling for more love, more forgiveness, compassion, understanding and generosity to the Light of our awareness. Once the matters of the Heart are honestly and vulnerably brought out into the Open, consciously, we stand at the Crossroads. With choice. Fear or Love? Victim or Blessing? And this is power. Openings are power.
When we intend the quality of Opening, even to be willing to be willing to Open, to an Eternal Power, a Divine Intelligence, a Presence of Grace, Beauty, Wisdom and Complete Unconditional Love, for ourselves and for another, our Soul is then given permission to lead. Our gut, heart and frontal lobe may then become energetically available for intuitions, insights, and Revelations, and we see the Presence of Love and hear the Voice of Love and feel the Power of Love…we’re available for transformation.
In Love and Light,
Rev. Victoria
Destiny
Here we are at the beginning again. There is something about the start of the new year that contains a purified energy of infinite potential. It is an intentionality from our heart of our personal vision, our goals and our deepest desires. The good news is that we are created out of the substance and form of the Love Intelligence governing the universe.
This Love Intelligence, this Power and Presence that is the only power and presence placed all of its magic genius, creativity, bounty, beauty, love and wholeness in us as It created us so that It could express Itself through each of us. These are not just words, but a mandate for us to fulfill. It is the destiny of the rose to fully bloom and release all of its fragrance and beauty. It is the destiny of your soul to fully evolve, awaken, express and give all that you are, which is a perfect Divine Blueprint of Unconditional Love.
This month of January 2021, let us anchor this truth and set each other free.
In Love and Light,
Rev. Victoria

Agape East's Spiritual Principles
Absolute Goodness is the substance, the source and the supply of all existence. This aspect of Life is always in integrity with itself, which means that it cannot contradict its own laws, nature and relationship to its creation.
All Existence is the manifest form and activity of Spirit. This Presence is equally present in space, time places and in all persons, as well as beyond time, space and manifest creation. Ours is a holographic universe in which every part, that which is seen and unseen, is an emanation of the un-manifest whole.
Every person is made in the image and likeness of God and is capable of awakening to this realization and giving expression to the qualities of unconditional love, compassion, wisdom, bliss, peace and creativity.
Every individual has been given the power of free choice and is therefore self-responsible for their evolution, following a path suited to their individual state of evolving consciousness.
We live in a non-static, ever-evolving Universe, which is the source of our individual evolutionary impulse and capacity to expand into our fullest potential.
