SUMMARY:Lowly Listening as Spiritual Practice
DESCRIPTION:Lowly Listening as Spiritual Practice\n\nWith Rev. Beth Banks\,
  Vicki Wolf\, and Brian Shaw\n\nLooking for meaning and happiness in life?
  Rather than hoping to finding it in a moment of peacefulness\, be ready t
 o discover it when life’s intense. Then\, with as little anxiety as poss
 ible\, listen carefully. Unitarian Transcendentalist\, Ralph Waldo Emerson
 \, wrote that by "lowly listening” we will hear the right answer. Let's 
 “lowly listen” for some answers together.\n\nThis Sunday we’ll honor
  Father’s Day.\n\nThis bio recognizes the spiritual practice of listenin
 g\, and the courage of choosing to be heard. Communication in all its form
 s\, can present what we believe is sacred.\n\nRev. Beth Banks studies the 
 hammer dulcimer and has recently shifted from Advanced Beginner to Interme
 diate. This means she makes many mistakes but makes them with more confide
 nce. With much trepidation\, she has signed-up to play on her porch in the
  August 31 international “Play Music on Your Porch Day." She’s praying
  that no one wanders past her porch\, but she is drawn to the festival’s
  message:  "What if for one day everything stopped? And we all just liste
 ned to the music.”  She hopes to learn how to turn mistakes (musical an
 d otherwise) into embellishments.\n\nRev. Beth Banks currently works as th
 e friendship Host Coordinator with the Humphrey Fellows program. This Fulb
 right Scholar program brings accomplished mid-career professionals to the 
 United States from countries with developing economies.\n\nBeth served as 
 a UU congregational minister for 34 years\, and taught English as a Second
  Language in Washington State and South Korea.\n\nShe lives with her livel
 y mini-Australian Shepherd who knows how to listen\, and sometimes chooses
  to do so.\n\nHYBRID SERVICE: in-person &amp\; online.\n\nOnline: join HE
