  • Each of us loses "balance" from time to time. Spiritual practices, though, help us to regain that equilibrium.

  • Confronting Racial Bias -- A practice to move the subconscious to the conscious
    Apr 15 2021
    Fast thinking, a term coined by Nobel winner Daniel Kahneman, is what allows humans to survive and thrive. Conversely, it also leads us to make assumptions about other people. Assumptions and stereotypes are the root of division and separation, be it on lines of race, gender, size, or other.
    In this episode, Greg leads a practice of shining a metaphorical light on our assumptions and implicit biases for the purpose of changing those biases, which is an admittedly difficult task.
    For full effect, bring this on a walk down a busy sidewalk. Alternatively, sitting at home and using your imagination will have a profound effect.

  • Forgiveness - A Practice of Both Offering and Requesting
    Apr 12 2021
    Each of us needs forgiveness, and more of it. Forgiveness if the gateway to flourishing relationships.
    But it's not always clear how to ask for forgiveness, or even that for which we need forgiveness.
    Join Greg, either on a walk or as you are, to consider two prerequisites for forgiveness and two circumstances from you own life where forgiveness is needed.

  • Letting Go - Kenosis
    Feb 23 2021
    During both the temptations in the desert and at the crucifixion (including in the Garden of Gethsemene), Jesus engages in the self-emptying practice of kenosis. He liberates himself from his own will and desire to make room for God's will and God's desire.
    We also can practice letting go; we can empty ourselves to allow God's will to be our will. Then our behaviours and desires align with the promise of new life.
    Join host Greg Powell for a sit beside a creek to practice kenosis.
