Your Love like Lightning

I find serenity in dark storms,

For in those storms I find You,
 
Even if only for a brief moment like a flash of lightning,
 
Your love drowns out the darkness,
 
It is truly a divine thing,
 
To bear witness to a dark storm,
 
For even though the storm is terrifying,
 
We know You are by our side,
 
O holy one of Israel,
 
Let Your love like lightning,
 
Drown out the storm,
 
Even just for a moment,
 
So that we may find serenity in dark storms.

Learning to Say "We": Writing Identity

In this immersion, we will reflect and expand on our personal experiences of identity, using writing exercises and in-depth discussions to think about, challenge, discover, explore, and experiment with different ways to identify ourselves, to consider how those ways connect us to and separate us from others, and how they represent and misrepresent aspects of who we are.

Four sessions, starting June 15th
