We use many names to talk about "spiritual experience" -- peak experience, a sense of aliveness, encounter with the holy, a feeling of the sacred, experiencing the world as it is, meeting God -- but no names quite get at what that experience really is. The words we use to speak about it aren't the same as what the experience is: our maps are not the territory.

This congregation is one big community, but it's also a collection of lots and lots of smaller communities. We explore what that looks and feels like, and what it means to take sustenance in being co-creators of this place.

What does it look like to make amends? What does it look like to ask for amends? The simple wisdom of "ouch" and "oops" help disarm some of our resistance to asking for and making repair in our relationships.

In our annual All Souls service, we honor and commemorate those in our lives and church family who have died. We join together in bittersweet memory and love as we reflect on the fleeting and precious gift of life. Bring a photo of a loved one you've lost to create an altar of memories.

Against every doomsayer and nihilism, no matter how seductively packaged, we are a people of hope. At the center of our lives, we work to embody and live into a hope which is neither naive nor cynical. On this Sunday before we vote on the next steps for our church building, we especially embrace hope!

What would it look like if instead of a purpose-driven life, we embodied a curiosity-driven life? How could that change the way you move through the world? We'll also observe a Transgender Day of Remembrance ritual to name and hold the reality of violence rooted in transphobia.

Even if there is nothing supernatural to the world whatsoever -- even if the world is all there is with no divinity -- nonetheless religious naturalism invites us into gratitude, humility, reverence, joy, and wonder which remain at the heart of a spiritual life well lived.
