I was leading a yoga retreat in the beautiful Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania in October with 8 wonderful ladies, and on a hunch, I decided to add in an apophatic meditation I’d listened to on Spotify with The Liturgists on a few occastions.

Someone should really put a round-a-bout here, but that is a different blog post. I’m seminary educated, but I’m a lay person. I am from a [&#8230;]]]></description>

And that last part, community, is where we can find comfort, help, and motion forward. (Here is a resource that can help us process these events and create community.)

Heather’s mother is exactly the kind of person who would raise a daughter that would be willing to give her life to defend the sacredness and rights of another. I don’t know what to say any more.

Recently, however, I watched an interview with him and I want you all to see it. Let me tell you why. I grew up in a small Virginia town that lacked diversity. [&#8230;]]]></description>
