How do we celebrate freedom when so many are enslaved? How do we honor the Earth in the face of destruction?
In these challenging times, the answer lies in coming together to build bridges of connection. We are the custodians of the Earth, entrusted with the responsibility to treat our planet and each other with respect and gratitude.
Recently, we gathered for a Passover Seder where we embarked on a journey of reflection and renewal. We began with a moment of meditation, opening our hearts to compassion and understanding. Each person broke off a piece of matzah, symbolizing our collective pain and sadness, yet also our resilience and strength.
As we blessed these broken pieces with love and peace, we reaffirmed our commitment to healing ourselves and the world around us. We shared our visions for Earth's restoration and pledged to take meaningful action, whether it be reducing plastic waste, volunteering in our communities, or planting trees.
This spirit of connection and action extends beyond our gatherings. I invite you to join me on transformative journeys to ancient lands and cultures. On April 27th, we will explore ancient Egyptian rituals at the Metropolitan Museum, connecting with timeless wisdom and practices. Then, on September 29th, we embark on a spiritual journey to India, delving into its rich traditions and teachings.
These experiences offer more than just travel; they provide opportunities for personal growth, resilience, and connection with like-minded individuals. Together, we can deepen our spiritual understanding and cultivate true abundance in our lives.
If you long for community and seek spiritual resources to enrich your journey, I invite you to join us. Let's celebrate freedom, honor the Earth, and embrace the transformative power of connection.
Until next time,
Barbara
