EcoGathering: Mystery
EcoGathering: Mystery
If we step away from the dominant culture’s compulsion to classify, measure, quantify, and know everything it can, we find ourselves in the realm of mystery. There is a whole other side of the world that cannot be known, but only marveled at and dumbfounded by. There is a whole other kind of knowing not ground in causal certainty, but a certain kind of intuiting, or feeling, or experiencing. Join us this week as we explore the mysteries in the world around us and appreciate the mysteries in our own lives.
Hospicing Modernity Together
Hospicing Modernity Together
A guided group reading of Vanessa Machado de Oliveira (Andreotti)'s Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity's Wrongs and the Implications for Social Activism
EcoGathering: Spirit
EcoGathering: Spirit
Though most of us are now raised under an institutionalized, empire-approved form of either (monotheistic) religion or aspirituality, many of us still feel some more-ness exists in our experience of the universe. This week, though we might lack the cultural and social means to grasp and explain it fully, we'll explore that more-ness in the world through the perspective of spirit.
EcoGathering: Story
EcoGathering: Story
How can we hold the unquantifiable more-ness of mystery and spirit? How do we begin to describe and share and live these suspicions, feelings, and knowings? Probably the way humans have done it for as long as we've had language: through story. This week, we'll dive into a particular story as one form of entry into the world of spirit and mystery.
EcoGathering: The Sacred
EcoGathering: The Sacred
Right before much of the world enters the dominant-cultural hegemony Christian holiday of empire-sanctioned celebration, worship, and consumption, we’ll explore the original roots of what this holiday and many others sought to celebrate: the sacred. This is not a session centered on any one organized religion or holiday. It will be a conversation about what we find sacred in the world, and how we relate to what in our lives – no matter what religion, spirituality, or philosophies we follow – is sacred.
