the mystical hearth π₯ ft. Kati Devaney
Dear hearth-tender π₯
The Mystical Hearth (www.themysticalhearth.com) is a Sunday service for pluralistic explorations of the sacred in community. It is a place to practice reverence without dogma, to re-remember who we are, and to be together in the vastness of whatever we call God, Mystery, Reality, Love. You do not need a specific belief to belong here, or any belief at all. Only a willingness to be honest, present, and open with however the sacred emerges for you and together.
~~TOPIC~~
π§ββοΈ The science of awakening: What is gained and lost when we apply the scientific process to matters of spirituality, and what do we know and not know so far.
