We are a community centered in the teachings of Jesus, learning about the expansive nature of Love, and creating space to encounter and notice the Sacred in the midst of our busy lives on Long Island. We don't do any of this perfectly but we are learning, trying, and growing. Sacred Space became a community when through conversation several of us realized we all shared a deep longing for "Somethin
g More" than what we were currently finding in our busy daily lives, in our churches, in our friendships, in our yoga practices, or in trying to "do spirituality" on our own. Though we come from many places on Long Island we decided to meet weekly (or as often as we can make it) to create space for each of us to pay attention to how God is meeting us in each moment of our lives and how God is also sending us out to work for justice, to show compassion, and to try to reconcile people to one another in this politically and religiously fractured culture. An important thing to note about our group is that while we are centered in the teachings of Jesus we do not all come from the same religious background. We want to learn from one another. We appreciate and cooperate with other denominations, religions, and cultures. Your voice is important to our growth. We trust in Love. We want to grow in Love. You are invited to join our conversation. Whether you are still connected to a particular religious tradition, have walked away from religion altogether, are spiritual but not religious, are questioning, or simply want an imperfect community of people who will care for and challenge you to be open to God, you are invited.
