August 2024 Theme: Un-Status Quo
In person Meditation at 10:00am, in person and Facebook Live Services begin at 10:30.
We have come to expect a status quo in our spiritual community. We tend to know what to wear, who we will see, what the topics will be, when the music and treatment will happen… everything! When we only operate in the status quo, we miss so much of the beauty and growth that happens when we move outside of our “normal” and step into the beyond. Here lives a rich community, with a variety of topics, ideas, and things that we often stuff down because it would be “inappropriate.” What we forget is that when we have these “taboo” topics in the spiritual community, we isolate those for whom these topics are at the forefront of their lives. Sex, Marginalization, Trauma, Abuse, Disabilities, Ableism, Addiction, Shame, Chronic Illness, Mental Health, Consent, Racism, Poverty, Food Insecurity, Politics… we are all impacted by one or more of these human experiences. We all deserve to have a grand rising, and so we must be willing to embrace the wholeness of humanity, including those things we would rather ignore, especially in the spiritual community. Oneness equals wholeness and therefore no topic is taboo!
August 2024 Weekly Themes
August 4th • The Impact of “Othering”
This week we begin talking about “taboo” topics that are often avoided in spiritual community. Join us on a transformative journey of self-discovery, collective growth, and creating a society rooted in love, justice, and the celebration of our shared humanity.
August 11th • Trauma 101
Today’s world can be incredibly challenging to navigate; war, abuse, neglect, poverty, violence, loss, and more seem to touch the majority of people in some way or another. Since trauma is a part of the human experience, it is time we talk about it in our spiritual communities. How can we be a part of the solution, working together to heal individually and collectively?
August 18th • Saging with Grace
As we deepen our understanding that we are eternal unlimited beings in temporary human bodies, we place the emphasis on “Essential” matters – Saging with Grace – instead of worrying about aging.
August 25th • The Truth About Wholeness and Disability
Discover the truth about disability and wholeness, a topic often overlooked in spiritual communities. Join us this week as we delve into the Divine Blueprint of every body, transcending our idea of physical and mental perfection.
