Our conversation during the Sunday evening service on January 22 focused on what it means to be a spiritual community or sangha. There were powerful shares about Saturday's Women's March, a moving example of community coming together in Love. Those attending wrote out what they desire in a spiritual community. Here are some of their beautiful statements: A place to feel known and welcome. A safe and friendly place to open up and share my heart and hurt. Trust, acceptance. Being in community with generally like-minded, open-minded people. A safe place to share from the heart, knowing I won't be judged or made wrong. A place to learn from the facilitator and each other. Peaceful communication. A clear focus, theme. Community sharing. Connection, person to person. Fun and interesting topics. A place to share spiritual wisdom and our individual journeys on our spiritual path. Fellowship, getting to know like-minded people around me. Inspire
