Class facilitated by: Bis Thornton, Chaplain.
What kind of relationship do you have with your own religious past? Many of us have an ambivalent relationship to our childhood religions–alongside painful memories of rejection or control, there are often things we miss that brought us illumination, connection, wisdom, strength, and more.
The good news is that you don’t have to return to the religion of your past to bring the joyful, supportive practices into your present spiritual life. If that sounds like something you’d like some support in, please join us for “Owning Your Religious Past.”
“Owning Your Religious Past” is a 5-week group workshop that will provide simple tools for re-examining and retrieving positive aspects of past religious connections. This course will involve both group sharing and private exploration.
The workshop will meet at 1:30-3:30pm from November 3rd to December 1st at Wildflower Church. We will meet over Zoom on November 10th.
