436: At Home in the Holy

A conversation which begins with a beautiful and stirring song from MaMuse [a link to the song is in the show-notes]. How might we imagine light inside darkness, and call to the light in ourselves and in one another, even as we feel grief and worry and sadness? And how might we bring our imaginative capacities to invite one another into relationships of mutual care, for each other and for the world, especially in a time which often wants to teach us to fear one another instead?

In our conversation we talk specifically about Turning Towards Life - Live - Season 2, which begins in March 2026.

This week's Turning Towards Life is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

Here's our source for this week:

Home in the Holy

I am home in the holy
I’m stepping in fully
To the shift
To the change
To the ground
That’s holding me.

I’m alive to the midnight,
Wide eyed in the twilight
Giving up
Giving in
Giving over to the mystery

May my life be an offering
To serve our mutual flourishing
We are in the care of one another

I keep my inner fires burning
Fuel the passion and the yearning
To give these gifts
To keep on learning
Without end
