Ben Dolf “Re-enchanting the Personal” 
May 10 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Our survival depends on integrating our feelings, intuition, and rational mind with love and respect of the natural world. This service lays out practical steps to deepen our personal connections with the world outside and within. In a later service, Re-enchanting the Collective, we plan to look at how our congregation and similar groups can provide the support the community needs as we approach more difficult times. The service will be offered by Ben Dolf, a member of the congregation.
