Thresholds & Transformation Last Week in the Seraphic Grove
How do you practice hospitality toward your own soul?
Last week in the Seraphic Grove, we gathered beneath the ever-turning branches to explore the threshold moments that shape our sacred lives. From the dragon-slaying courage found in facing old stories to the radical hospitality of Midsummer’s light, each offering invited us deeper into the mystery—where pride becomes revolution, scripture becomes both salve and sword, and the invisible chains of empire are seen for what they are. In a world aching for healing and authenticity, we reflected together on how ritual, myth, and mindful defiance kindle both personal transformation and collective liberation. The Grove thrums with these questions: What do you welcome in? What do you resist? And where do you stand, heart open, at the edge of the world’s becoming?
Have you ever experienced scripture as both a weapon and a healing tool?
