This is the recording from our Dinner & Dialogue gathering on 06/24/26, entitled Seeing Through the Eyes of the Sacred. In this episode, we talk how to encounter the sacred in ourselves and others through learning to see ourselves as God sees us, and how, when we borrow God's eyes, we begin to see the beauty and dignity of everyone around us. Thanks for tuning in!

This is the recording from our Dinner & Dialogue gathering on 06/17/26, entitled The Sacredness of Community. In this episode, we talk about how community life is one way we experience the sacred, and how, when there is room for deep trust and belonging, we find something rare in our fragmented time -- the possibility of contemplative friendships. Thanks for tuning in!

This is a special episode in conversation with a member of our community, author and public theologian Damon Garcia on 06/16/26, entitled Why You Don't Need a Calling.

They also discuss the effects of late capitalism on human meaning, how grounding in dignity and creativity offer us a way out, and what we can learn from disentangling from the vicious cycles of self-improvement and commoditization.
