"IN THE PRESENCE OF FEAR: LETTING LOVE LEAD"

M

Fear can feel loud. It can rise within us and ripple through our relationships and communities, inviting us to contract, protect ourselves, or forget what is true. But fear does not have to be the voice we follow.

 

Join Rev. Marilyn Sprague for a heart-centered exploration of meeting fear with compassion and courage, listening for what it may be revealing, and making the conscious choice to let Love lead.
