Speaker: Melanie Bowe

Channeling Love

As the season of new beginnings arrives, how do we recognize and nurture the sacred energy that permeates all existence—the spirit of life and love that flows through every breath and relationship? Through sharing her personal narrative, Melanie will explore how this spirit is not distant or reserved for exceptional circumstances, but rather inherent within each individual, compelling us to live with purpose, empathy, and openness. Together, we’ll explore what it means to channel the spirit of life and love into the world.

Love at the Center

Theologian Richard Rohr writes: “Don’t start by trying to love God, or even people; love elements and rocks first, move to trees, then animals, and then humans. …. It works. In fact, it might be the only way to love, because how we do anything is how we do everything. In the end, either we love everything or there is reason to doubt that we love anything.” Join us in exploring what it means to put love at the center of our lives and faith.
