Throughout cultures and across time, people have gathered to share stories. Stories of becoming and stories of ending. Stories about small things like seeds and beans and big stories about floods and famine. Storytelling and story-hearing are parts of how we make sense of our lives and imagine our futures. In our current crises, we need these tellers and hearers, those with the capacity and the will to name ways through that other models of response have not yet been able to capture.

In this spirit, we are pleased to offer an eight-month opportunity with The BTS Center, in which spiritual leaders and seekers are strengthening their holy hearing and sharing in group spiritual direction / companioning. Gathering monthly from March through November in groups of six over Zoom, each two-hour session is centered on a prompt related to climate change, liminality, or uncertainty. Rather than a solution-seeking conversation, group members are invited to respond from their hearts to that prompt and each other, together investigating spirit-centered responses.
