This circle provides a safe space to connect with the greater community. They are an opportunity for a community to come together, slow down, and connect around stories and themes that everyone can relate to in some way. Participants share to the extent that they feel comfortable. Topics are set to allow the circle to share and different depths, with one person talking at a time, each person is seen and heard.
No two stories are alike, and telling a story is connecting with others.
You are invited to explore the video series for yourself and consider how your shared story would look. Telling your spiritual story means sharing a part of your identity.
The Spiritual Lives at Lawrence video series allows members of the Lawrence community an opportunity to let their story be known, and to let others into this special part of their identity.
Consider what your spirituality means to you, what your journey has been, and sign up to be a part of the series.
