{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Ep. 1 - The Way","description":"In this inaugural episode of Opening The Circle, we explore what it means to be on \"the way\" in our spiritual lives. The path of growth and awakening is one of dynamic movement, accepting uncertainty, and cultivating inner commitment. What might we need to let go of to enter a deeper, more expansive relationship with God, the Self, and the Living Mystery? The Way is a journey of unlearning, transformation, and ultimately, becoming more fully alive.\n\nSources:\nLuke 9:51-62 (New Revised Standard Version)\nFirst line of Dante’s Inferno\nExcerpts from “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost\nThe first line of the Tao Te Ching\nMarion Milner’s book published under the pen name Joanna Field, A Life of One’s Own, as quoted by Maria Popova in her newsletter The Marginalian\nThe Middle Passage: From Misery to Meaning at Midlife, by James Hollis\nJohn Sanford - The Kingdom Within: The Inner Meaning of Jesus’ Sayings\nIrenaeus - 2nd Century Christian Theologian\n\nReflection by Rev.
