September Theme: Living Everyday Wonder: Work
“When the going gets rough, turn to wonder,” wrote philosopher Parker Palmer. When the work stuff seems mundane or difficult, I invite you to lean in and trust how you can use wonder to spark new insights and messages. Our human task in the work of our hands, hearts, and being is to extend ourselves beyond the measure of success or failure so that wonder might find us.
September 4th • Good Work!
Work is perhaps the most significant block of time allocated in the living of our lives. Be it a task or call; we give more of ourselves to work than any other aspect of life. Given the significance of our work globally, we may find ourselves in need of a shift towards the less tangible and, on some days, the invisible methodology, praxis, and design of wonder as a Way of Work (WOW) that yields more than the desired results. Speaker: Rev. Kathleen Music: Sharon Bousquet and Tom Glenn • 5 Rhythms Dance 1-3pm
September 11th • Creating a Life that Matters
One's vocation is not something out there at the edge of the horizon between now and not yet. Vocation is the Divine energy already and always at work within us. How can we deepen into the wonder of vocation to create a life that matters? Speaker: Rev. Dr. Kathleen Johnson Music: CeleStiaL Joy Ensemble led by Dean Regan RScP

September 25th • Failing Forward
In many circumstances, failure is a given, but what a person chooses to do with the experience of failure is called resilience.
