20241013 Journey Toward Wholeness Rev Dr Janet Childs

Let us embrace all of who we are. The world is calling and indeed counting on us all for our specific qualities and energies to bring our unique healing presence forward. As we claim our entire experience without alienating or otherizing any of what we are, we can bring meaningful and powerful energy to all we wish to share. Join us as we explore our various dimensions and expressions. We will be offering a series of activities we can do to strengthen our courage. We will hold the circle of acceptance as we honor it all both/ and in compassion and joy.
