Blessing of the Animals ??⬛???????, with Rev. Nicole Jacobson |
| Spiritual traditions across the ages have taught that animals are not here merely for our use, but are beings who deserve love, honor, and respect. They are our companions, our kin, and our fellow travelers in the great web of life. We are called to protect them, to ease their suffering, and to recognize the sacredness of their presence. And when we open our hearts to those we believed we were rescuing, a strange turn of events occurs: we discover that we are the ones who have been rescued. Today we bless the animals who bless our lives, and we recommit ourselves to compassion, protection, and love for all beings. | |

As the Pendulum Swings, with Rev. Nicole Jacobson |
| It’s easy to react. Most of us do it without thinking, one moment of tension setting off another, much like a pendulum where one movement automatically creates the next. Our reactions can ripple outward in ways we never intended, shaping conversations, relationships, and community life. The book, Say What You Mean by Oren Jay Sofer, teaches that we don’t have to continue that chain. We can pause. And choose to lean into love and understanding, remembering that we rarely know the full story of what someone else is carrying. And during that pause we come back to ourselves. We remember that while we cannot control what others do, we can always choose how we respond. We stop the ripple and make space for compassion, clarity, and connection. | |

Love as a Way of Being and Becoming, with Rana Mazumder |
| We often talk about love as an emotion or something we simply feel inside. But what happens when we look at love as an active, daily practice? In this service, we will explore love not as a passive sentiment but as an active force that directly shapes our growth and well-being. Drawing from personal life experiences and the universal philosophy of Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra, we’ll look at how staying attached to a living ideal and living out its principles day to day becomes our path of “Being and Becoming”. When love moves from our thoughts into tangible care for one another, it creates practical equity and helps every person thrive in their own distinct way. Join us as we reflect on how small, intentional actions of love can ground our daily lives and strengthen our shared fellowship. | |

The Walking Fed 3: ? All You Can Eat ?, with Erich Landstrom |
| It’s almost Halloween! A time for mysteries and mysticism. A time for our inner “zombies” — those unconscious patterns that can move us when we are not paying active attention, and deeply buried parts of ourselves that react before we’ve had time to reflect. Rather than running from it, let’s pause and ask what they are trying to protect, project, or protest. In “The Walking Fed 3: All You Can Eat,” we offer brain-food for those inner zombies, feeding them with intention rather than automatic reflex. This year we turn to tarot cards, not for fortune-telling but as tools for a kind of collective “spellcasting” to focus our shared intentions on the values at the heart (and brains) of our faith: justice, pluralism, equity, generosity, interdependence, transformation, and love. | |
