Can spirituality be an adventure? Can we breathe new life into a stale belief system? So many of us arrive in adulthood still searching for meaning and connection. Many of us, wounded from the religious or spiritual experiences of our youth, are still wondering what, if anything, we believe. Does our current belief system help us cope with everyday stressors and anxiety. Is there a way for us to regain the loss of connection to our bodies? Can we remain open to life after suffering the pain of grief or loss? And, can we develop a spiritual practice that encourages exploration and questioning, that enlivens us, that we can embody?
Using Elizabeth Lesser’s book as a compass, we will explore how to integrate mind, heart, body and soul in this human experience. Through meditation, contemplation and discussion, we will explore different wisdom traditions and practices that may provide an inner guide on our spiritual journey.
