(Video) Where Are You Finding Spiritual Renewal this Holiday?
I woke up this morning craving the powerful music of Handel’s Messiah. I grew up with a mother who was a gifted classical musician and this piece would permeate our home during the month of December. I listen to the Messiah at high volume and love feeling this timeless masterpiece seep into my bones.
Music, ritual and service to others were some of the many ways my interfaith family experienced spiritual renewal during December as we “honored the light.” This week, I’m anchoring back to the spiritual traditions that most nourish me and asking, “Where Are You Finding Spiritual Renewal this Holiday?” Watch a short video message and join me:
