Rebecca Parker and Stuart Higginbotham invite you to share a morning of prayer and reflection on Saturday, May 3, as we engage in the deep tensions and opportunities of this time.
Where Zoom
When Saturday, May 3; 9 AM—12 PM
Contact Rev. Dr. Stuart Higginbotham
Register by Tuesday, April 29
We all feel challenged to live faithfully, and in the midst of so much noise and distraction, the Spirit invites us to consider our own participation in God’s dream for our world. Over and over in conversations we have shared with many, one central question continues to arise: What is mine to hold—and how can I do it consciously?
We are honored to welcome Cynthia Bourgeault to share in this conversation. She will offer a reflection during our time that will assist us in exploring our responsibilities as spiritual seekers, thus guiding us into the deeper spaces of the heart that will nurture a sense of awareness and resilient embodiment. We look forward to this opportunity, and we hope our time together leads to many more fruitful conversations.
Our time together will be completely on Zoom, from 9 am to 12 pm. There is no fee for the morning’s conversation, but should you choose to make a donation, we will continue to develop spaces like this for further transformation. You can register below, and we will send you both a Zoom link as well as materials to read beforehand.
Many blessings,
Rebecca and Stuart
