To Whom Do You Belong?![]()
September 7, 2025 at 10:00 am Rev. Bret Lortie & Rev. Joyce Palmer![]()
Belonging is complex. It’s not fitting in at all cost or giving up something of yourself. And it’s not running roughshod through a place to make it your own. This is the paradox of belonging. Brene Brown writes it takes courage to experience true belonging because it is not just about braving a wilderness (of people, new ideas, a community), but becoming the wilderness. It’s about breaking down walls, abandoning our ideological bunkers, and living from our wild hearts rather than our weary hurts. We will have a water ceremony and backpack blessing.
