Sermons, meditations, and conversations from Foothills Unitarian Church. Featuring Rev. Gretchen Haley, Rev. Sean Neil-Barron, Rev. Elaine Aron-Tenbrink, and special guests!
Rev. Gretchen offers a reading from “The Seven of Pentacles” by Marge Piercy.
Rev. Elaine announces our new Text-A-Blessing hotline and shares her KINDemic story.
Rev. Elaine Aron-Tenbrink offers a guided meditation to cultivate self-compassion. This meditation is adapted from the work of Dr. Kristin Neff, who is a scholar on the topic of self-compassion.
Rev. Elaine explores how to access kindness in the face of fatigue and frustration. She shares the simple power of offering a blessing as a gift of attention and acknowledgment - a gift you are worthy of offering to yourself as well as others.
Dr. Dan McKanan, Ralph Waldo Emerson Unitarian Universalist Senior Lecturer at Harvard Divinity School, and Rev. Sean Neil-Barron discuss the relationship between our religion and the American progressive tradition. They explore how people rise up seeking to come to terms with America’s white supremacist and colonialist legacies, and how the current trend of increasing economic inequality affects progressivism across religion and politics.
Rev. Elaine Aron-Tenbrink leads us in a centering and connecting meditation. Rev. Christopher Watkins Lamb enhances the meditation with music.
