The Practice of Beloved Community. Rev Kim Wilson

Rather than being a goal or destination, Beloved Community can instead be a way of being in the world. Beloved Community is an attitude, an orientation of the heart. It’s the developing of our own relationship to other people, to others, and to every living thing

Help from Our Friends. Speaker: Emily Quarles-Mowrer

Albert Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” In our can-do, “lift ourselves up by our bootstraps” culture, we have a tough time asking for an outside perspective. Join us as we think about the strength in admitting when we need help.

The Healing Harp Speaker: Betsy Chapman Lay Leader: Sally Martin.

Betsy Chapman has been a harpist since 1988 and completed her harp therapy training in 2006 first as part of the “Harp for Healing” program, following that with VAHT certification from the founder of the system, SaraJane Williams. Vibro-Acoustic Harp Therapy (VAHT) uses live harp music amplified and sent through a specialized table, chair, or other vibro-tactile device to vibrate the dense tissues of the body while also affecting the emotions and energetic aspects of the body. Ms. Chapman will discuss the use and practical application of this revolutionary technique to ease suffering and bring relief to many.

Stillness: A Path to Wisdom. Guest Speaker: Rev. Kim Wilson, UU Minister.

We all want to be wise. Sometimes we think we have to take classes or get a degree or at least do extensive reading to gain wisdom. That certainly can’t hurt. But we can also use quiet time to clear our minds of the clutter and open the way to the wisdom that comes from within.

Revisiting the Grinch –
What Does He Have to Teach Us… This Year?
Guest Speaker: Diane Trieb.

We all remember The Grinch – thegrouchy curmudgeon – who tries to cancel Christmas by stealing the Christmas gifts and decorations from the homes down the mountain… In the tiny town Whoville… on Christmas Eve. Why would he do this? Dr. Seuss’s assessment is that the Grinch’s heart may have been two sizes too small. Lets explore the condition of our Hearts – from a Grinch perspective – as we enter this Winter Season of Darkness and Light.
