What were you born to do? Who have you come here to be? And have you gone through that becoming? Because some people haven't. Some people never wind up as the person they were meant to be... even if they spend a lifetime wanting that becoming to take hold of them. Some people remain too focused on what it's like to be the prey rather than what it's like to be the prayer. This is a service for those who feel called to something great and who go after it, despite the danger.

When we listen with open hearts, avoiding response or judgment, we can learn more than we imagined. At the same time, we are giving the gift of unconditional love.

Belonging

Kathleen Hogue
“True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness. True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.”- Brene Brown What does it mean to be a community of belonging? When, in your life, have you felt as if you truly belonged? How do you welcome people into your spiritual community?
Please note audio is currently unavailable for Heart & Soul services.

"Mindfulness" is a word we hear a lot these days. It means living in the present, being fully aware and awake to the world. Poems can be expressions of mindfulness, giving us a glimpse into a moment that transforms the familiar into something sacred. They can provide refuge and inspiration when we need a reminder of how to live fully and compassionately. Rima Snyder and Dorothy Steinicke share their reflections on poems from the anthology ""Poems of Presence"" (edited by Phyllis Cole-Dai and Ruby R. Wilson)
