Embodied Healing Rituals: |  |
Come Worship with the UUs!
Experts tell us that we are in liminal times and experiencing collective trauma that yearns to be healed. What can we learn from the Sufi Islamic embodiment rituals practiced to bring more healing into our own lives and communities? How can embracing embodied healing help heal and lead us to collective salvation, freedom, peace and love? Please join us as we welcome the Rev. Summer Albayati from the Pacific Western Region of the Unitarian Universalist Association this Sunday, and let us explore the answers in a spirit of love.
