It is a true blessing that within our tradition we are free to learn and grow over the years. Our personal spiritual journeys change and evolve. I’ll explore mine with you so that you might reflect on your own.
We humans, every one of us, are creative beings at our core. We owe our very existence to our ability to create – to problem-solve, invent, converse, write, parent, cook, heal, build, think, make clothing, art, jokes, and music.

Easter is about love, loss and redemption. So, is the Velveteen Rabbit. Join us for this All Ages Reader’s Theater telling of the 1921 classic.

We experience grief after people who are dear to us die. Yet there are pressures to quickly “get over it” and “move on.” If we succumb to the them, the suppressed response will likely return to bite us and may be transferred across generations. That’s an evil that does not serve us. We’ll look back … Continue reading Good Grief: Embracing Grief and the Trouble with Not Doing So
