When we observe ourselves feeling and reacting from unsettling emotions like anger, sadness, and fear, the self awareness practice helps us investigate so we can release stories and patterns that no longer serve our wellbeing and so we can embrace ourselves and others with more compassion and grace. If you want to learn more about the self awareness practice, please drop in and observe 2 members of the Common Thread Community do this practice together. No prior knowledge or experience is required and everyone is invited and welcome. We will meet in Room 209. Feel free to bring your lunch/snack if desired.

We form Life Story groups twice a year that will meet as many times as there are people in the group (usually 3-4) for about 2 hours at a time. Please complete this form by 10/6 if you would like to participate this fall. For more information about how exactly LSGs work, please watch this video → Sign Up Life Story Group Expectations/Recommendations Confidentiality. We agree not to share even bits and pieces of others’ stories with people who are not in the group. Even without names. Even without identifying details. Even with our intimate partners. That’s how hurtful gossip can happen. Non-judgement. This is trickier because we’re talking about what happens in your heart. One way to avoid the appearance of judgment is to avoid asking questions or making comments. Just listen through to the end then thank the speaker for their story. But you’re not on your own with any feelings and thoughts that might come up after listening! The skill of being a member of a community requires practice and support. Always know you can reach out to our minister or a member of the pastoral team if you need help. 5-minute Meditation. Starting every LSG with a five […]

We are all creators. “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” —Pablo Picasso Painting can be a restorative exercise that guides you to added relaxation and peace of mind.
