New Class (evenings): Finding Yourself in Transition
Finding Yourself in Transition
Thursdays February 12th- March 26th (6 classes)
6:30-8:30 PM
Facilitated by Angela Denton MA; P.D. MFT
Change is part of life. We see it reflected all around us in nature as the seasons and our landscape transform every few months right before our eyes. Many changes can be exciting and we welcome them with open arms like when we witness the miraculous birth of a little one into this world. All too frequently, however, we experience unexpected changes that are not welcomed and we experience both emotional and physical pain. It is during these times we feel alone and even question our faith and wonder if God truly exists. Robert Brumet in Finding Yourself in Transitionguides us to discover the deeper meaning in the disturbing, unsettling events that happen in our individual lives and in the world. Brumet offers a road map for us to navigate our way through life’s transitions and to help us discover that within major life transitions are opportunities for spiritual rebirth and new life.
During class sessions we will explore the following:
- The paradox of change
- The process of transformation
- Rites of passages
- Navigating through endings, the void, and new beginnings
- Surrendering to the ebb and flow of life
Fee: Love offering
Required Text: Finding Yourself in Transition by Robert Brumet
Wishing you Joy in 2015!
Dear Friends,
As I write this we are about to begin a New Year, entering “January”. The word come from an old Greek God by the name of Janus. Janus has two faces on the same head; one looks at the past and one looks at the future. Many times we have that Janus nature inside of us. We have difficulty moving ahead because we are stuck in the past. To truly experience the blessings of Spirit, we must realize that we are not locked into the limitations of yesterday. While the Past is nothing to hide or run from, it is still the Past. However, the moment we live in is the PRESENT. Will we let this day be sufficient “unto itself”? If so, then there is a need to let go of our Past, otherwise we simply continue to repeat it in the Present.
For this moment to be new, we must fully live in this moment. To fully live in this moment, this moment must be all there is. It cannot be determined by what came before. This means what we can experience Now is not bound in any way by what we have experienced before.
Joy is living in this very moment and that is my wish for each one of you here at Unity by the Shore.
A Very Blessed “Now”!
Rev. Joanne
