The Wall & The Tunnel by Eric Hepburn
There is a wall, a veil, between our world and the spirit world... the sages and prophets found ways through the wall, they brought back teachings from the spirit world. They left behind signs so that we could find our way through. Some folks who came after, got really into sign making. Some thought that the tunnels through the wall should be enlarged, decorated, celebrated... Some spent their lives making their religion's entrance look more beautiful and inviting than others

Greensleeves by Eric Hepburn
Greensleeves is one of the oldest and most familiar songs in our tradition—tender, plaintive, and enduring.

We’ll sing it, sit with it, and listen again—trusting that sometimes an old song can open new space when we give it our full attention.

When Religion Forgets Spirit by Eric Hepburn

Together we’ll remember what religion once promised: to bind us not in dogma, but in wonder — to help us remember the sacred light that first called us to belong.

Sticks and Stones by Eric Hepburn
You remember the children's rhyme, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Sometimes this landed as good and helpful advice, not to take on the harm that others wanted to inflict on us with their words. Other times, it just feels deeply untrue. For many of us some of the most painful hurts we've ever received have been delivered mostly through words. So, we'll spend some time with this worthy paradox - and hopefully leave with a deepened sense of
