Joy as a form of Resistance – The VUU’s latest episode

https://sunflowerchalice.com/2015/12/10/the-case-for-santa-claus/

This episode commences with a delightful visit from Jackson Crawford, a wonderful young UU who recently interned at the White House.  As the show continues, the hosts discuss how to hold precious personal Joy through challenging times and in the face of what seems awful, to use Joy as an act of resistance.

And, Rev. Joanna Fontaine Crawford, explains her beautiful and inspired take on the levels of Santa.

An invitation to friends

twinkles-place-11-9-16-invite-uu

An invitation for my friends.

This is the meditation room in my home.  I open this and my home up to friends when they need a quiet place to sit, gather their thoughts, connect with their hearts, either in solitude or in small group ritual.  

I often host gatherings in my home honoring my own Unitarian Universalist spiritual traditions and explore the mystery of living on this planet.  

I also welcome friends from various faiths and traditions to come lead workshops, retreats, meditations and concerts.

If you feel called to gather together for any of these, let me know and I am happy to host.

Or, if you desire to simply have a place to come, sit and reflect, I offer my home for that too. 

Love,

~ Twinkle
