Ecotones
Sunday morning at 10am
with Chaplain Michael Eselun
Michael Eselun, UCLA oncology chaplain and popular guest speaker, will explore those liminal spaces in which we sometimes find ourselves on life’s mysterious journey — thresholds that are neither one reality or another, and yet may open a path to our deepest truths. Possibly even the sacred.

Something to do together as a family:
Practicing gratitude is a way to help us nurture hope and continue a lifelong practice of social justice action. It helps strengthen the foundation that inspires us to act on our values. Try one of the following practices together or come up with one that can work for you on a long-term basis. Be explicit with kids that practicing gratitude has been shown to benefit physical, emotional, and mental health.
Mealtime gratitude: Take turns, having each person share what they are feeling thankful for as you eat.
Gratitude journal: Start or end each day with writing down one or more appreciations. The act of writing (or drawing) appreciations helps embody the feelings.
Gratitude chain: Cut strips of paper, leave them in a basket. Each day, each person writes something they are grateful for on a strip of paper and adds it to the chain. Do this for every day of 30 Days of Love!
An exciting new opportunity for young children of Ventura County!
