The moment we choose to love, we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others. ~bell hooks
Choosing love means bringing a courageous and kind attention to the places inside where you feel distress or vulnerability; places where you feel cut off from your own heart and from others. The gift is a spiritual awakening that naturally ripples through all our relationships. Our time together will include short talks, guided meditations and reflections, small group sharing and time for inquiry.
The informal title for this gathering is Calling all Bodhisattvas (awakening beings), which, my friends, is you! Please join us in person or online…we need each other to heal our hearts, brighten our spirits and to serve our precious world.
