Talks and led practices from a retreat offered on Zoom in May of 2020. How do we make sense of this imperfect world? How do we hold the tension between the ideal, what our heart longs for, and what’s happening now?Discover how engaging with what’s happening now supports us to begin to edge into what else is possible.

We are survivors of immeasurable events,
Flung upon some reach of land.
Small, wet miracles without instructions,
Only the imperative of change.
