Booker writes: “Growing up in the Baptist faith, I was taught to believe what I was taught, and to not have my own experience or exploration; to not know for myself. This didn’t sit well with me as a child! During this teaching, I will share my spiritual journey from Bright Faith to Verified Faith. And how I keep returning to trusting my embodied and intuitive nature to guide me from Virginia to Uganda to South Africa.”

(check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahg6qcgoay4 – it only takes 30 seconds) We perceive reality in accordance with…

There is enough space in our hearts to welcome the wonderful richness and diversity of life and of each other. Our open awareness makes…
