A Post-Midterm Election Parable Walk

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die – a time to plant and a time to uproot – a time to tear down and a time to build – a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them – a time to weep and a time to laugh – a time to mourn and a time to dance.
We are told there is a time for all things, a Both/And, especially in the days in which we are currently living. We may each find ourselves at some level of physical, emotional, and spiritual full-to-capacity. It feels like there is no room left.
Last spring’s final offering from the 4-part series A Time for Everything was postponed. What better time to revisit the opportunity to live in the Both/And than following the 2026 midterm elections?
As a response, we will be offering space to be present to how you find yourself. We will give space to mourn what is not, while also embracing what is. During our time, we will be led by spiritual director Jennifer Andersson as she guides us through the spiritual practice of a Parable Walk. If you are able, part of the time will be spent with you taking a short walk outdoors. If you are less able, a videotaped walk will be made available.
When: 8:00-9:30 am Pacific / 9:00-10:30 am MT / 10:00 – 11:30 am CST / 11:00 am – 12:30 pm EST
Date: Saturday, November 7th, 2026
Although this offering is at no cost to you, if you would like to join our generous donors and “pay it forward” for a future JCGL Series or Special Gathering, there is an option to do so. We thank you.
