May 14, 2023 – The Wholly Mother
Rev. Kristin delivers a heartfelt Mother's Day message exploring the sacred and expansive nature of motherhood as spiritual practice. Through a touching story of two elephants embodying the cycle of giving and receiving - "first you, then me" - she illuminates how the love ethic of the mother lives within all of us, regardless of gender or parental status. Rev. Kristin weaves together wisdom from indigenous grandmothers, Myrtle Fillmore, and the divine feminine tradition to invite us into fierce, compassionate, wholesome love that can transform our relationships and our world. She encourages us to be mindful sowers of seeds - choosing words of kindness and compassion - and to recognize ourselves as holy mothers called to bring forth healing for each other and for Mother Earth.
