9:30 a.m. In-Person in the Fireside Room and on Zoom. The Personal Theology Committee is delighted that PT member, Karen Voorhees, has invited Rev. Dr. Jane Simmons of the Unity Church to be our guest speaker. Dr. Simmons and her husband, both retired ministers, teach a yearly course called Integral Ministry Certificate Program, based on Ken Wilber’s Integral meta-system.  Dr. Simmons will tell us why they have allied themselves with the Integral movement, and how it can help guide us through this time of cataclysmic change and on into a world we want to see for ourselves and our descendants.

As we look back on our lives and ahead to the future, how do we honor our losses without being defined by them? This workshop explores the shift from living in grief to living with it—integrating our past heartbreaks into a narrative of strength and grace.

From Fauré to Saint-Saëns, this program captures the full sweep of French music — beauty that moves you, and joy that delights you.
