December 9, 2018 – Being the Presence of Peace
Rev. Kristin Powell shares the transformative gifts of silence and stillness drawn from her retreat at the New Camaldoli Hermitage in Big Sur, where time spent with monks, hawks, and the vast ocean renewed her spirit. She explores how befriending silence allows us to release tension, return to our true selves, and access the ever-present foundation of peace within. Through the beautiful story of a Japanese tea master who disarmed a mercenary warrior simply by embodying peaceful presence, Rev. Kristin Powell illustrates that when we do what we naturally love with ease and skill, we become the living presence of peace in the world.
