SUMMARY:UU Spiritual Direction Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Queering Contemplation: Finding Queerness in the Roots and Future of Contemplative Spirituality  \nby Cassidy Hall (2024) \nThis month we explore contemplation through the lenses of queerness\, embodiment\, liberation\, and expansive spirituality. Cassidy Hall invites readers to question binaries and reimagine contemplative traditions with greater honesty\, hospitality\, and freedom. This conversation may stretch many of us in fruitful ways. \n~~~~~~~~ \nThis year’s Spiritual Directors’ Book Circle is an invitation into the 3 C’s: conversation\, contemplation\, and companionship. Together we will read across poetry\, prophecy\, contemplation\, activism\, Indigenous wisdom\, creativity\, queer theology\, and spiritual resilience. Some books may feel like balm. Some may unsettle us. Some may give language to experiences we have carried wordlessly for years. \nAs spiritual directors\, we spend much of our lives listening deeply to the lives and questions of others. This circle is an opportunity to tend our own inner lives and vocational imagination. To notice what stirs. What resists. What nourishes. What calls us further toward courage\, compassion\, liberation\, and wonder. \nOur hope is that this year forms not only a reading group\, but a circle of practice and a network of practitioners. \nHosted by Meadville Lombard Theological School’s LIGHT.
