Contemplative Parenting
Last updated on: January 19, 2024 at 2:34 pm By Sarah Forti
Contemplative Parenting and Control I have been on a journey of contemplative leadership, and that includes how to lead within my own home through contemplative parenting. There is a pervasive idea within our culture that we create change through exerting control over others. This leadership model is on full display all the way from young bullies on the playground to old bullies in each political party. In both scenarios, we are saying, “because I want this, you must do/lose that.” ... Read more

Becoming Episcopalian
Last updated on: January 9, 2024 at 5:41 pm By Sarah Forti
Formed By Liturgy I am reading the book, Walk in Love as part of my journey of being formed by liturgy in the Episcopal tradition. One quote from early in the book is: ‘Our liturgy – the words and actions of worship – is not about “each man for himself” or about “how I like to pray” or even how the priest likes to pray. Instead, we are keeping a tradition of worship that stretches through time and is shaped... Read more

Holding the Reality of Our Experience It can be difficult to admit when we’re holding grief at Christmas. In the movie, “Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown”, Charlie Brown says: “I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus. Christmas is coming, but I’m not happy. I don’t feel the way I’m supposed to feel.” For some of us, Christmas is the happiest time of the year. I’ve had times when I wanted it to be the happiest time of the... Read more

Create Space For A Contemplative Christmas
Last updated on: January 31, 2024 at 10:05 am By Sarah Forti
Contemplative Holiday Preparation There are ways that we can create space for a contemplative Christmas. Even in a hurried holiday season, we can be attentive to our soul. When you think about the coming of Advent and Christmas, how do you prepare the space? We might first think about the garland and ornaments, but there is also the space of your inner life. Are there rituals that you engage in because they feel meaningful and authentic? Are there traditions that... Read more
