How We Thrive!

We are all in a time of tremendous change.
Transformations has been discerning how we might help feed the evolving hungers of our times:

• hungers for connection
• for living well
• for grounding in something that includes - and transcends - the individual and the everyday 

Calling this work “How We Thrive” we are shifting our focus, for a time, to encourage us all to bring about
life-giving changes based on the Congregation of St. Joseph’s recognition that “the crises of humanity and the crises of Earth are intertwined.”

Join us in spirit-infused learning, practice and engagement in these three areas for thriving:

• Justice: Promote a just economy in which all thrive; in which the benefits of society are spread widely
• Right Living: Extend humane healing, hearing and holding to one another and to all living things
• Walk Humbly: Promote those activities that consider the full cost to the planet of resource use and of waste disposal. We are only one link in the chain of life

Realizing that we are unlikely to gather in groups for a time, we will be extending weekly invitations for things you might do on your own, and consider as part of a larger community.

We may suggest films, articles, books, podcasts, or other sources of information to help you learn and engage around issues you are passionate about. We will share practices that may range from personal spiritual practices to composting tips. We will seek ways to connect our practices with what others in our community are doing for the common good.
