“When Love transforms our heart, our actions align with the truth of our being and we remember that which we already are.
”
In the quiet stillness of communal reflection, we find the strength to meet the world with an open heart.
You are invited into a contemplative space to explore how our inner life shapes the way we show up in the world. Together, we will gently hold the question:
In a world that often feels fractured, what does it mean to practice love in our shared lives, communities, and places of belonging?
Through reflection and conversation, we will consider how love takes shape in our daily lives as we:
Listen with curiosity, creating space to truly hear
Attend to the present moment, noticing what is asking for our awareness
Honor lived experience with openness and care
Extend a compassionate presence that affirms the dignity of all
This 90-minute gathering will include a guided practice of Lectio Amoris, a fireside conversation, and space for shared reflection.
Together, we will practice returning to what is most true, within ourselves and with one another.
All are welcome.
This is a no-cost offering, but registration is requested.
