Human beings are relational by our very nature. We rely on others to hold up a mirror and help us become aware of obscured spots in how we show up. But some reflections are distorted, like mirrors at a carnival funhouse. How do we distinguish the trustworthy mirrors in our lives and allow them to invite us to a more centered way of being?

When we can honestly name our emotional reactions to change and uncertainty, we might more easily find our center in our life-affirming values.

How can the very active commitment to affirm and promote something invite us toward a personal creative vision? As a community, our vision for the future might flow naturally from the powerful life-affirming values we hold in common.

In this special service introducing January’s theme of Finding Our Center, we engage in a spiritual practice to help us return to our personal center so that we remain nourished as we do the work of nurturing the world around us toward greater wholeness.
