Practicing Resistance: A Soul Matters Sharing Circle
Facilitators: Rev. Nan Rogers Flavin and Jim Flavin
Sometimes resistance involves bravely picking up a picket sign; other times it asks us to courageously put down our masks and allow who we really are to see the light of day. And resistance can show up as ordinary things, such as putting our passions and talents into play to support campaigns of love. It’s actually pretty complicated. In our resistance, we will discover that we are part of a larger mycelial network. Marge Piercy reminds us that practicing resistance starts when we say “We!”. Both the long haul and our first courageous step are made possible by reaching out to receive a helping hand. Maybe it’s not more courage that is required, but more connection. Maybe what we really need to hear is not simply “Resist!” but “I will resist with you!”
Let’s invite one another into sharing our reflections on Practicing Resistance.
Youth ages 13-18 are encouraged to participate in our Circle. For children up to age 6: Nursery Care is available. For children ages 7-12: Children will be meeting in Union Hall.
COVID Safety: Masks are optional. Please, if you’re not feeling well, do stay home! Many thanks for your kind consideration!
Please join us at Coffee Hour afterward for conversation and community!
“It can be overwhelming to witness/experience/take in all the injustices of the moment; the good news is that they’re all connected. So if your little corner of work involves pulling at one of the threads, you’re helping to unravel the whole damn cloth.”
