How do we live during a time of feeling or being unmoored? To what or to whom are we tethered during times of darkness and feeling adrift?
The chaos, upheaval, and uncertainty in our world are inviting us to tend to our soul and nourish the seed of light within. In nature, seed awakens in the underground soil to the prompting of sunlight and the promise of a New Harvest to come. Nature invites us into its flow by patiently trusting its rhythms and waiting for signs of its harvest.
During this offering, we will contemplatively explore how the season of winter can illumine how to be in darkness and, indeed, offer insight into how to hasten a new dawn, personally and collectively.
“The endurance of darkness is the preparation for great light”
Saint John of the Cross
