• 2021-11-14 November 14, 2021 – Living One’s Own Brave Truth Rev. Dr. Lauren Artress Rev. Dr. Lauren Artress weaves together the Grail legend, the archetype of the Holy Fool, and the transformative power of imagination in this rich and inspiring message. Drawing on the story of Parsifal's journey from self-absorption to consciousness, she illuminates how each of us can find our own "grail" - a vessel that meets us where we are and gives us what we need. She calls us to resist the hijacking of our imaginations by images of wasteland and destruction, instead embracing the vision of Earthrise and living our own brave truth with courage, openness, and beginner's mind.
• 2019-09-22 September 22, 2019 – A Watering Hole for the Spirit Rev. Dr. Lauren Artress Rev. Kristin Powell shares the fascinating story of how she brought the labyrinth to Grace Cathedral in San Francisco and explores why this ancient walking meditation serves as a profound watering hole for the spirit. Drawing from her personal journey through the AIDS crisis, burnout, and a transformative encounter with a taped-floor labyrinth, Rev. Kristin Powell reveals how this 4,000-year-old tool orders chaos, quiets the monkey mind, and mirrors the soul's deepest longings. She invites us to consider that as we move into a new era of divine oneness and connection, the labyrinth intensifies the quantum field where our open hearts become magnets for our next step.
