February 27, 2022 – Perfect Peace in Imperfect Conditions
Rev. Kristin delivers a powerful message on cultivating inner peace during turbulent times, drawing inspiration from Gandhi's lifelong practice of using a mantra to transform fear into fearlessness. She shares how Gandhi's childhood nanny taught him to steady his mind by repeating "Rama Rama" - comparing the restless mind to an elephant's trunk that calms when given something to hold - and invites the congregation to discover their own personal mantra through spirit. Rev. Kristin reminds us that we each have a responsibility to ground ourselves in peace through prayer, meditation, and mantra practice, so that we can be a steady hand for others rather than getting pulled into the quicksand of fear and drama surrounding us.
