Thursday, July 22 at 7pm, join the cast of Crescent Moon Theater Productions’ When Your Skin Calls You Home and Rev. Laurie Manning, Pastor of Skyline Community Church, for a Zoom discussion to share responses to and explore the rich, intercultural myth of their Selkie folklore inspired circus-theater production, based on Sealskin, Soulskin by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Read the SF Chronicle’s show review. We’ll also explore Estés’ Women Who Run with the Wolves, including the loss of sense of soul as initiation, losing one’s pelt, the lonely one, the spirit child, drying out and crippling, healing the old one’s call, cutting loose, diving in, the medieval woman, surfacing, the practice of intentional solitude, our innate ecology.

Scripture and sermon from our worship service commemorating Juneteenth.
Matthew 10: 34-39 (NRSV)
Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law – 36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. 37 Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.
