Live the Teachings, Not the Tradition

Facilitated by Rev. Karyn O’Beirne

More people now consider themselves spiritual instead of religious and are leaving organized traditions behind.  If you want to tap into your own innate wisdom, follow the teachings.  Lifting up both modern and venerated perennial spiritual teachings that direct the way to a life fully lived – present, open, vulnerable, compassionate, and wise, the path opens before us. 

Guided by the spirit within and connected to all that is by our interdependence, we will celebrate and explore the inner space while learning to embrace ourselves and each other just as we are – moment by moment.
