Advent Week 4: Acknowledge the Waiting

By |2022-12-22T14:11:37-06:00December 22nd, 2022|Christianity, Christmas|

And now we wait, not for the birthing of the Gospel in each of us, yet communally as well. As the year comes to an end, we notice many of us are hurting, exhausted, feeling alone - not everyone for sure, but more than we may realize. Advent reminds us there is room for our [...]

Advent Week 3: Being Silent

By |2022-12-22T15:21:56-06:00December 10th, 2022|Christianity, Christmas|

In the season of Advent silence can be a lot to ask of a person. And yet silence is the sound of Advent. Mary carried a child in the silence of the womb for nine months. It is where we hold space for what we long for – new life, collective healing, yet also the [...]

Advent Week 2: Embodying the Communal Womb

By |2022-12-22T14:12:53-06:00December 3rd, 2022|Christianity, Christmas|

Advent begins as a solemn time. It’s the story of a woman who is the archetype of power and hope within her body. Our invitation this year is to encounter and embrace this solemnness, much like the story of Mary, as an embodied practice. Embodied spirituality is reintegrating our emotional and interior lives with the [...]

Advent Week 1: In the Dark While We Wait

Advent holds such a sacred space - the story and formation of the womb is tucked into our souls. Advent is most often thought of as an individual journey, even though we may celebrate together. We can think about it all year around, but probably don’t. This year, the invitation is something different, holding it [...]

Some of my favorite characters from the Christmas story are the wise men. Even though I know the stories aren’t historically true, I love that each character represents a part of me. As I have mentioned in the previous two articles, the narratives we have for the birth of Jesus are found in two of [...]

The other day I was talking with a friend who lives in Germany. It was already nightfall for her and she was sharing with me the beauty of their first snowfall this season. She described the scene outside her window with such clarity, that I couldn't help but close my eyes and imagine it for [...]

A Mythical Christmas: In The Beginning

By |2018-02-09T19:26:33-06:00December 3rd, 2012|Beginnings, Christianity, Evolution, Jesus, Religion, Transformation|

Christmas holds a special place in my heart, not because of any religion or theological beliefs, but mostly because it was my dad’s favorite holiday and because it’s a time of year for many family traditions and rituals to be played out. Every year we know the traditional frustration of hanging lights on the house [...]

Mary’s Journey is My Journey

If you think about it, doors are everywhere, we breeze through them hundreds of times a day, rarely noticing them. Doors offer us protection, solitude, safety. They can let someone in, or keep them out! They show us the direction in which we are headed. Stop and think about all the doors you have passed [...]
