What is wisdom? -Reflection-

This Sunday, we continue our summer series, “What is Wisdom?” by exploring how reflection helps us live more meaningful, intentional, and wiser lives. 

By pausing to examine our values, experiences, and choices, we gain clarity, deepen self-awareness, and realign with what truly matters. Together, we’ll explore how to make space for reflection—and why it may be one of the wisest practices we can cultivate, both individually and as a community.

Coming soon… Watch the gathering here

Quotes

“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the bitterest." - Confucius

"The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates

Reading

“To allow ourselves to feel the pain of the world is to dare to reflect on what we love. Grief, anger, and fear arise because we care, because we are intimately connected to life. These emotions are not enemies to be exiled, but invitations to awareness.

By reflecting on them — not suppressing, not dramatizing — we access a wider view of ourselves and the world, a new spaciousness of heart. From this depth of reflection, new possibilities emerge.”

- Joanna Macy and Molly Young Brown, Coming Back to Life: Practices to Reconnect Our Lives, Our World (1998)
