Paying Attention: What is in Your Cup?

In a wisdom tale, Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh tells us the bump in the road doesn’t create what spills out of the cup we are carrying. Instead it reveals what is already inside. The question is not about who bumps us rather, “What am I carrying in my cup?”

“Symbols of Soul: Nature, Story, and Dreams” - Adult Religious Exploration Wednesdays, February 24, March 30, and May 4, 2016 Facilitator: Kathy Crabb Symbols of Soul will meet in three sessions: Nature on February 24th, Story on March 30th, Dreams on May 4th. Pioneering Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung said, “I am … a symbol of my soul” (The Red Book, p. 234, 2009). Jung perceived images and symbols as expressions of the ineffable – and relationship with charged images as essential to knowing one’s own soul. In this three-part course we’ll approach the images that tug at our psyches, explore their meaning in our lives, and discover how to live with them in soulful ways. Note: You are welcome to attend one, two, or all three sessions; however the three will build on each other so you will likely get more out of each, if you’ve attended the previous one.
