“Open Mic: Narrating our Own Experience with More Spaciousness”

The congregation is invited to share in this “open mic” service led  by D. Patton White on the theme of spaciousness.  What choices have you made and then subsequently changed your mind about?  In what ways have you moved away from something only to come back to it from a new perspective? Do you know of a poem about the theme of spaciousness and possibility that you find meaningful?  Have you created a piece of visual art that conveys an aspect of potentiality?  Do you know a song that is inspired by flow that you would like to share?  Have you written in your journal about your own personal transformations?

The open mic COL  is inspired by this recent opinion piece by Melissa Kirsch in the New York Times.

“Resolve, Resist, and Dance!”

“Existentialism highlights the importance of

..acknowledging what is,

..making choices about how to respond,

..experiencing the full range of emotion without getting stuck in any one,

..nurturing the human spirit.

“To bring the light, one must endure the burning.” — Viktor Frankl
