My Church
When we were searching for a church to baptize the girls, I imagined my perfect church. It was outdoors surrounded by nature, beautiful trees and flowers surrounding the meadow where we sat. I always feel closest to God or the Divine when I am in nature. Also in my church Everyone is welcome. There is NO judgement. The only requirement is an open heart.
What we talk about in my church, isn't a leader. There are many leaders, we are all leaders. We talk about life and love. We talk about how to love deeper, how to manage our emotions, how to create a better more loving world.
In my church we are the leaders of the future. We are connected to the divine through ourselves, through our hearts and wombs. By healing ourselves we can better serve the world. There is no money box, rather community and respect. We cherish our sacred space.
We offer rituals for rites of passage such as pregnancy, birth, periods, menopause, graduation, new jobs, new homes, ended relationships, marriage. We offer friendship and compassion. My church asks you to do your best and try and improve when you mess up yet honor the mess. You learn from the hard times. Forgive yourself and move on. But mostly my church teaches UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and respect for our precious, beautiful planet. We come from a place of wanting to improve and include not judge and attack.
That is my church.
