Exploring the Cup of Our Life
In these tender and challenging times, it is ever more important to understand how we can hold harmony and balance between our inner and outer lives. While using Joyce Rupp’s book, The Cup of Our Life, as a foundation, we will use a simple cup as a metaphor for our lives. Perhaps you have a favorite cup to hold your morning beverage. Maybe it has a few chips from being used so often. Or perhaps there is a beloved cup that has broken and been put back together with love. All of these cups can act as metaphors for times in our lives. During our gatherings, we will examine how we fill our cup with intention, and what we pour out of our cup into our own lives as well as the lives of those around us. As the seasons of life change, so does the need to empty from our cup that which no longer serves us and fill it with those things that will help us meet the next season more fully. We must discern what to keep, what to let go of and what to add to meet ourselves in the fullness of our lives. Join Spiritual Companion and Retreat Facilitator, Beth Wood-Roig, for this soul-nourishing and enriching winter series from the warmth and comfort of your home. Each week, Beth will invite reflection on a different image of the cup, such as the open cup, the chipped cup, the broken cup, and the cup of compassion, encouraging insight into how we live with intention and harmony. It is not necessary to purchase or read the book. Simply bring your favorite cup and an openness to discover all that this simple tool can offer.
