October 6, 2019 – We Are They
Rev. Kristin Powell explores the transformative power of recognizing that "we are they" - that the separation we create between ourselves and others is an illusion obscuring our fundamental oneness. Drawing inspiration from Oriah Mountain Dreamer's post-9/11 retreat exercise and the remarkable Pando aspen grove in Utah - 47,000 trees sharing one root system - Rev. Kristin Powell illustrates how community thrives when we care for all parts of the whole rather than otherizing those we perceive as different. She invites us to release the myth of the lone wolf, remember each other's divine nature even in difficult moments, and commit to building authentic community rooted in our shared source.
