“This is the stillness of the chrysalis. This is the pause on the threshold. A lifted foot in the march of time that might come down in an entirely new direction. It is stillness preparing to spring into action, a pause that is not powerless but a gift of temporary suspension in which any number of futures are possible.” (From Trusting Change, by Karen Hering)
This month’s focus is on Taking Part in Stillness, a practice of pausing in the midst of change. How do we engage the power of pausing when the chaos of our times stirs an urgency that feels like the opposite of stillness? If you’d like to explore this in an online session of embodied practices and guided writing, reflection and conversation, please register for “On the Cusp of Change: Taking Part in Stillness,” on Tuesday, May 14.
Registration through the Christine Center and Prairiewoods retreat centers is open to all. Paid subscribers to Threshold Times can register using the link below, where you’ll also find this month’s audio recording from Trusting Change. Both are benefits of a paid subscription; if you are a paid subscriber, be sure to scroll down to receive them.
However you engage the power of pausing, I hope it makes space in your life in which to discover a wider set of options for living with and through change.
