Join us for this intimate, candid and unexpected celebration of the gift of community.

This beautiful insight from Father Henri Nouwen encapsulates the mood of dynamic reciprocity shared during this online gathering:

“Community is the place where we discover each other's gifts and lift them up to celebrate them. We can say, “Look! This is beautiful. You have something that I want to receive from you. It's a gift that you carry with you and I want to lift it up. I want to be grateful for that gift. That's what community is about —to lift up each other's gift and recognize that these gifts are a reflection of God’s unconditional love.

I discover my beauty in the eyes of the receiver and so community is that we give and receive gifts to each other. You all are leaders from the point of view of your gifts and you all are followers from the point of view of other people's gifts. It's not like somebody has all the gifts and the rest is only there to receive it. A community is where we all are leaders because we have gifts to give and we all are followers because others have gifts to give to us that we need. And in that mutuality of giving and receiving, there's a community. There’s never a community where all the gifts are in one person's hands and all the rest are just followers. Life means to be someone who is willing to receive these gifts and make them visible to this larger community. That's what we are about and that's what our community is about. "

Celebrating birthdays and anniversaries on specific days throughout the year remind us of how we could, and should, and one day will, celebrate each other every day for the gifts we each carry and for those we are in need of.
