“Spheres of Sanctuary”

We are called to create physical, emotional, social, and spiritual sanctuary spaces for ourselves and others–to be agents of sanctuary in the wider world. Together we will look at how we create spheres of sanctuary and how to live as bastions of sanctuary in the greater community.

“Origin Stories: The Journey of the Universe”

No one knows for sure how the world and life came to be, but that doesn’t stop humans from wondering, from seeking explanations for the great mysteries of life. Ever more complex tools of scientific inquiry – like the James Webb telescope – continually add details to our origin story. What does this story mean for us humans and the inhabitants of our precious Earth? Can a sense of wonder help us face the challenges of today – and tomorrow? Let’s explore together!
