Since ancient times, humans have been on a personal quest for wisdom. It's hard to put into words exactly what we are seeking, but it has to do with discovering the meaning and purpose of life in general and specifically what's happening in and around us. As we step through the threshold of one state of awareness to the next on this quest, it is important to celebrate our rites of passage, to honor what has come before, and open to what is next.
Join me on Sunday as we allow ourselves to celebrate our awakening in consciousness.
With Great Love,
Rev. Kylie Renner
Somewhere along the way we got the idea that love cost something, that love had to be earned, that to love someone or allow ourselves to be loved meant we had to lose or forfeit something - independence, self, freedom... Nonsense!
Mother’s Day can be a sticky Holiday for many who have unresolved feelings about mothers and motherhood, and also because it can be seen to celebrate the lie that the only mothers in our lives are related to us by blood, or are only female for that matter. Mother’s Day can be about so much more, if we are willing open to celebrating the divine feminine in all of us, regardless of our anatomy, and if we are willing to allow this celebration to be about honoring everything we have birthed in our lives. 
We’re on this planet to be independent, creative, powerful, free, passionate, innovative... to bring our unique perspective, our special gifts, our individualized vision... to adventure, to discover, to explore... we’re born to be wild. Woo hoo!
Happiness is one of those fine energetic states that change the world, individually and universally. We'll explore happiness as a spiritual practice, how we make choices for happiness, and find some new reasons why it is important. And happiness should never be limited to an hour.
To be human is to have an abiding respect for the mysteries of life — all those aspects of our experience that cause us to realize that we live in a world that baffles that part of us that wants to know. The wisdom traditions challenge us to live within a cloud of unknowing. Living in the cloud of unknowing is an affront to the modern need to have answers to every question and our tendency to create tidy systems with a cubbyhole for every problem and aspiration. It is this rage for order can cause us to be timid in our willingness to dive fully into the mystery.
