Today, Claude AnShin, the guiding teacher at the Magnolia Zen Center in Florida, joins us to share his wisdom. One of the most important aspects of Buddhist teaching is the truth of interconnectedness: the truth that within me exists the entire universe, so, as I am, the world becomes. It is my responsibility to slow down, to invite more silence into my life, so that the truth of my own suffering can become more clear. When my suffering shows itself, I can stop acting in automatic, habitual, or conditioned ways. I can pause and make new choices.
As a community, we are poised on the cusp of major, transformational decisions about our future. Join us to explore and celebrate all of Chalice’s possibilities, and kick-off our annual pledge drive.

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.
Loss shatters our world, but in the fragments, wisdom gleams. We are cracked open, not broken. Join us as we explore the alchemy of loss, transforming grief into strength and wisdom.
