Once a month, we gather — online and in person in Estes Park — for teaching, shared reflection, silence, and practices that reconnect us to who we already are. Not who we think we should be. Not the version of us running the to-do list. The deeper one. The one who already knows.
 

These gatherings are free, hybrid, and require no preparation. Just openness, and a willingness to arrive.
 

Each evening includes teaching that draws from the Christian mystics, the Aramaic tradition, and the wisdom of the natural world — followed by time for silence, small group conversation, and the kind of listening that changes how we see. Some people journal. Some talk. Some just breathe. There is no wrong way to be here.
 

The next gathering is Sunday, May 10, 5:30–7:00 PM MT

2026 SERIES: BECOMING

This year's Second Sundays gather around a single question: What does it mean to become more fully ourselves?

Not by adding something we don't have — but by shedding what's in the way. The mystics would say we are not becoming something we are not. We are waking up to what already is. Each month turns another face of that unfolding toward the light.

February 8 — Becoming Light

Not brightness, not perfection — the presence that sees.

We explored how we've inherited a world that splits light from dark and calls one good and the other bad — and what it costs us. We looked at how we outsource our light onto people we admire and our shadow onto people we judge, and what happens when we're willing to own both. Because becoming light isn't about eliminating the dark. It's about the courage to see ourselves clearly — shadow and brilliance — and to hold both with tenderness instead of fear.

Recording and transcript available below.

March 8 — Becoming Love

Love as more than sentiment — as the force that holds us together.

We sat with what the mystics mean when they say love — not the Hallmark version, not the feeling that comes and goes, but what Teilhard de Chardin called the affinity that draws all things toward union. We explored the self-emptying shape of love — kenosis — and what it looks like to love without requiring the outcome to change. To stay present even when it's heartbreaking. To trust that when we let go of control, something else becomes possible.

Recording and transcript available below.

April 12 — Becoming Whole

Integration over perfection. What does it mean to live with nothing left out?

We carry so many parts of ourselves — the parts we're proud of, the parts we've hidden, the parts we didn't choose. Becoming whole isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about making room for all of it. This gathering invites us to explore what it would look like to stop exiling parts of our own story and instead to let them belong.

May 10 — Becoming Human

The arc lands here — not in transcendence, but in the ordinary, embodied life we're actually living.

After light, love, and wholeness, we arrive at the most radical invitation of all: to be fully human. Grounded. Present. Walking on this earth with both feet. This isn't an escape upward — it's a descent into the beauty and difficulty of the life we already have. Becoming human is where the mystical meets the Monday morning.​

 

WHAT PEOPLE FIND HERE
 

People come to Second Sundays for a lot of reasons. Some come because they're tired and need a place that doesn't ask them to perform. Some come because something is shifting in how they see the world and they need companions for it. Some come because they heard something in a teaching that named what they'd been carrying alone.
 

What they find is a room — physical and virtual — where the pace slows down, the questions go deeper, and no one is in a hurry to resolve anything. Where silence is welcome. Where you might hear something ancient that sounds like it was written for your week.
 

All are welcome. You don't need to have been before. You don't need to believe the right things. You just need to be willing to show up.
