This principle from adrienne maree brown guides us to recognize small acts of resistance as powerful moments of collective liberation. There is always a way that we can each contribute to the movement …. we don’t have to move mountains, but we can move hills together.
We return to the concept of covenant, with the help of some jackals and some giraffes. What do you need to be in religious community? We will explore ways that this congregation and our faith are moving forward into beloved community, and practicing restorative justice right here together.
Spiritual practice requires letting go to make space to welcome in the new. We will have a paper and water ritual for each of us to let go of that which doesn’t serve us for the new year.

Join us for a reflection on legacy, where we explore the intertwining themes of death, dying, and the enduring gifts we leave behind. Through the wonder of dandelions we’ll consider how our values, stories, and generosity can seed a future grounded in love and purpose.
