Longing is the voice of your soul, it constantly calls you to be fully present in your life, to live to the full the one life given to you. Rilke said to the young poet, "Live everything." You are here on earth now, yet you forget so easily. You traveled a great distance to get here. The dream of your life has been dreamed from eternity. You belong within a great embrace that urges you to have the courage to honor the immensity that sleeps in your heart. When you learn to lis...ten to and trust the wisdom of your soul's longing, you will awaken to the invitation of graced belonging that inhabits the generous depths of your destiny. You will become aware of the miracle of presence within and around you.

Need Lent BUT NOT all the church that goes with it? OR - maybe you need both! Lent begins Wednesday, February 17, 2021 A Flowing Spirit is offering Lent in a Bag Each bag contains elements and symbols for you to create or add to your own altar. We have also included a pamphlet with reflections on what each symbol means and prompts for you to consider during your own inward journey toward the cross. There are ashes to get you started for Ash Wednesday too with a short devotion. Lent offers us time to clear and cultivate our own wilderness and to intentionally remove the obstructions between us and God. It is the season when we focus on deepening our relationship with God as we walk alongside Jesus through the stories of the Gospels. $20 (includes shipping) www.aflowingspirit.com

This is much of what Spiritual Direction is about. www.aflowingspirit.com
Consult Your Personal Compass Balance and going through life whole and holy is often a process of beginnings and endings and beginning again. This is especially true for those who yearn to lead a spiritual life. As we move into 2021 it is a good time to pause and take a moment to steady ourselves and explore the metaphor of a Spiritual Compass. Consider the image of the compass and its circular form and the different directions open to us, like the symbol of the mandala;... it encompasses all the pulls and pushes that lay within us. This can be helpful as we work to clarify the direction that we need to move to achieve balance, wholeness, healing, and a more meaningful spiritual journey. Come, pray, listen, share, and check your own spiritual compass to get some deeper perspective for moving forward this year. Materials included with registration.
