On Belonging; Rev. Leaf Seligman, Music by Arif

Blending words and music, Arif and Leaf will offer a service that invites us to consider the inherency of belonging. As co-constituent cells that form the body of Earth, we absolutely belong—and as true as this is, we often experience the sensation of not belonging, or being told we do not belong, or others do not belong. So how do we reckon with the forces that suggest belonging is neither assured nor universal, without questioning the belonging of our co-constituent kin? And how might we assure belonging to the exiled parts of ourselves?

Rev. Leaf will facilitate a listening circle following the circle. Please consider joining in this opportunity to build belonging through our shared efforts to create a safe space for listening and sharing.
