Mark Pratt-Russum shares a message about the imaginal cells of the butterfly within the caterpillar. What "imaginal cells" are within you? What possibility of transformation might you already be carrying? Where are you in your current process of transformation? What are the voices within you saying about where you are?

Mark Pratt-Russum asks us to consider holy days as being invitations to wholeness days. When have you experienced something in the routines of normal life that awakened you to an alternative way of being in the world? How do you stay in touch with what makes you whole?

Mica Coffin shares a message about pet peeves and pet delights. Are there pet peeves--cherished annoyances or irritations--that you have been coddling? Have you covered up deeper concerns by focusing on annoyances? What are your pet delights? How do you broaden your perspective to bring more of the goodness of life in? What does it mean to you to choose between life and death, blessings and curses?

Stephen Deatherage shares a message about timshel, the Hebrew word for “Thou Mayest.” The word Timshel is referred to in the John Steinbeck novel East of Eden. Timshel means we have a choice on how to live our lives, and the power to choose our own path.

Mark Pratt-Russum shared a message about attentiveness to the "other way" that Jesus spoke about. How has your life been shaped by attentiveness to this "other way"? How have you been able to access this other "Spirit" and as a result, responded or moved in a new way? How has being in community with other seekers shaped you, and the way you carry yourself in the world?

Inspired by Nadia Bolz-Weber's blog post "Impersonating Ourselves," Greg delves into the topic of personal growth and the challenges of aligning our inner transformations with our external presentations. What does it mean to step more fully into who you are called to be? What parts of your past identity do you need to release to move forward? Join us as we navigate the intricate paths of identity, transformation, and authenticity.

Mark asks, "When have you asked something taboo, or embarrassing, challenging or distressing 'What are you here to teach me?'"

When have you done "the work" only to discover that it has revealed more work to be done within you? Mark talks about the resistance to liberation we often feel we bump up against.
