November 16, 2025 – "Ordinary Mystics Unveiled"

In this culminating message of the "Ordinary Mystics" series, Rev. Kristin explores the profound truth that spiritual awakening doesn't require mountaintop experiences or cave meditations - it unfolds in the sacred simplicity of folding laundry, smiling at strangers, and being fully present to everyday moments. She acknowledges that spiritual transformation, like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, often involves grief for what we're leaving behind and the disorienting process of growing into our new selves. Drawing on Emily Cady's concept of "chemicalization," she offers compassionate guidance for navigating the sometimes challenging physical and emotional symptoms that can accompany spiritual growth, reminding us that we are explorers of the sacred ordinary and devotees of what is.
