This Sunday Service will explore what wisdom looks like in the cultural and political chaos that surrounds us now. The speaker will discuss ancient truths and practices that have always sustained the human race. This service will be followed by a Wisdom Circle in the Second Hour for those who are interested in experience with specific methods. The principal service will stand alone, however, for those who do not want to attend the Second Hour program. Julie Patton is an ancient social worker with 80 years of experience in philosophy, spirituality, contemporary behavioral health, and the Hospice Movement. Her specific interest is in aging and end-of-life issues, with a focus on the growth and change that may come as we get older. She incorporates both Eastern and Western truths, along with evidence-based practices that facilitate wise and peaceful living for people of any age. She will facilitate a monthly Wisdom Circle in the Second Hour over the next six months. The full list of dates is as follows: Sept 27, Oct 11, Nov 8, Dec 13, Jan 31, and Feb 28.
