Summertime seems to us to be an especially good time to do spiritual practices around the house. All our everyday activities have spiritual meaning when approached with that intention. We invite you to join us for a 40-day exploration (June 24 - Auagust 2) of all the ways we can make what we are already doing at home into deeper experiences of the sacred. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat share readings from their favorite writers on this subject, then suggest a related practice to be done during the day. In the online Practice Circle, we'll share about our experiences with these simple practices, rituals, reminders, and prayers.  Sign up for Practicing Spirituality at Home

America's Shadow Sides on Film
Americans like to claim they're "Number One," but there are shadow sides to the country's contemporary life and history: obsession with military might, slavery and modern day racism, and environmental degradation resulting from industry and citizen irresponsibility, addiction to violence, and conspicuous consumption. Three very different films reflect the last two.

Remembering Spiritual Masters

Crafting Calm
We are all creations of a Creator and have been graced with creativity. For Maggie Oman Shannon, arts and crafts projects are ways to commune with or be a vehicle of the Divine. In this new book, she displays her special talent to seamlessly meld creativity, spiritual practice, and devotional activity. Best of all, she draws upon everyday experiences and ordinary objects, assuring us that we all can use crafting for calm, clarity, comfort, contemplation, creation, community, connection with others, and connection with Spirit.
