Holding the Center: Love, Boundaries, and the Art of Mutual Movement: In a world that often demands we dig in or choose sides, holding a balanced center takes a quiet kind of courage. Joining us again from Wisdom Grove, Sarah Woodard draws from the sanctuary of Nature, everyday human experience, and the metaphysical framework of the Tree of Life to explore how we navigate life’s divides. Together, we’ll discover how balancing strong boundaries with tender mercy creates true shelter, helps us find common ground, and invites us into a path of compassionate, mutual movement.
- Guest Speaker: Sarah Woodard
- Worship Leader: Linda Karlen
Our guest speaker this week, Sarah Woodard, is an Experiential Nature-Based Perception Guide, speaker, author of The Language Before Words, and founder of Wisdom Grove. She weaves together wonder, presence, and the quiet wisdom of nature to help people rediscover belonging through the practice of noticing. Through guided nature experiences, speaking, writing, and photography, Sarah invites people to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and remember that they are part of the living world.
After the service everyone is invited for coffee and conversation. Worship services are at 10am at Tree of Life UU Congregation 8505 Church Street (in Ridgefield) Crystal Lake, within a multi-congregational shared church building.
