There is a hard truth to be told: before spring becomes beautiful,
it is plug ugly, nothing but mud and muck…
But in that muddy mess, the conditions for rebirth are being created…
So writes author, educator and activist Parker Palmer. Pagosa Springs as plug ugly? I don’t think so, but I get the drift. We give thanks for the added moisture whenever it arrives and even with the growing light we know that in the Rocky Mountains we wait. More than likely, it will snow again and again as spring makes it way up the mountains.
During this season of rebirth and renewal, the Pagosa Unitarian Universalist Fellowship gathers each month to share in a small group setting we call Going Deeper Sharing Circle. This 2nd Sunday-of-the-month offering is from 10:30 to Noon, and is for those with curious minds and open hearts. We come together to share with one another and practice deep listening. We explore themes of recent topics and leave space for reflection through poetry, music and personal sharing.
We invite you, even if you are not a regular attendee or have ever been to the Fellowship. Come to make friends and practice the art of listening with others as we grow our spirits. Light refreshments are offered.
Also, on Sunday, April 13 is the Meditation Practice and Dharma Talk from 9-10:15am. Facilitated by Dan Dempster, a certified meditation instructor and Buddhist teacher, authorized by Lama Migmar, Harvard Buddhist Chaplain. All are welcome. You do not need to be Buddhist to benefit from these beautiful, authentic practices. Just bring a kind heart and an open mind. We can even help you to find those! Join us!
We meet at Unit B-15 of the Greenbriar Plaza, 301 N. Pagosa Blvd. on the north side facing the Pagosa Peak. We also offer Zoom services the first and third Sundays of the month. Find our current newsletter at PagosaUU.org for the link to join, and to find our current programs.
