We can’t change the world if we do not heal what has become embodied in us, and we cannot truly heal if the conditions that break and isolate us don’t change too.

“We must transform ourselves to transform the world.”

I’m excited to return to worship with the good people at UUCGT! I’m preaching Sunday at 10:30. I’d love to see you there.

Come thru for a mini grief ritual and song circle.
There is much to grieve

“You do not carry this all alone” : a spell for grieving

Grief is a skill, not an emotion. Like any spiritual practice, when emaciated we are left with a spirit that experiences lack. A void. A hunger. Grief is also not only an individual expression, but a collective one. Grieving together is a political act. Today we will explore grief as a lost competency in our culture, and lean into what grieving together again can offer.

As always thank you to Alexandra Blakely for the powerful spell of a song.

🎙️🎶We have a special song circle planned for tomorrow!

We’ll be recording a few songs to be on an album for a new project called DELIBERATE. It’s a new children’s curriculum designed to create white affinity space for kids to learn more about white anti-racist ancestors and the movement for racial justice. It’ll be dropped soon Garrett Seminary so watch there for it to come thru.

I hope you can join us - we want a strong crew of voices to share these amazing songs on the album and to honor these ancestors whose vision we carry now in the struggle for liberation.

Bring a friend!!

“If we’re present— then we’ll know what to do.”

Read my wrestling reflections about this declaration Terry Tempest Williams made at her visit to Traverse City recently.

It’s a wandering exploration about presence, certainty and what is being asked of us right now.

***Date change!!! ****

Join us on Friday at a new location for the next quarter of the year. We will meet at Boughey Park where M22 and Bingham rd meet on the shoreline of West Bay.

We’ll gather at the pavilion and sing together for an hour and a half. Bring your suit if you want to jump in the water! There’s a porta potty and picnic tables and a small swing set too. Kids always welcome. 🤗

Let’s sing by the water for the world we long for. Let’s sing about abundance. About our grief. About how we don’t want anyone left behind this time. 🌊

These times are calling for more of us to show up with courage and clarity about what we love.

Our attention and energy is constantly being pulled in different directions with our relationships, work, the constant news stream, social media.

It can be hard to know what we need to say “yes” or “no” to with all these increasing pressures.

Come and see how the body can support you to find center inside of chaos.
