FRESH GREEN BLESSINGS

On Wednesdays at 4:00 pm (EST), we meet LIVE ONLINE

for a unique, audacious, creative, and inspiring Bible Study Group called Fresh Green Blessings.


We read the Judeo-Christian Scripture with "Buddhist eyes,” through a “Mother Earth lens,” and by engaging other worthy perspectives.


Our desire is to "touch the Sacred" within (and through) the Biblical texts 

- focusing on Personal, Emotional, Experiential, & Mindful Responses to the Bible -

while also "breaking the imperialism of the one-dimensional meaning.”

“And by “Christian” is understood no stated form of church attendance or worship, and no iron-bound grip on God; but a spirit of reverence, a feeling of helpfulness towards neighbors, and human kindness towards all living creatures.”


Ruth Sawyer in her 1931 book Folkhouse

The Holy Now

Our aspiration is to live in THE HOLY NOW, where the present moment meets the sacred.  In which EVERYTHING we do MATTERS and EVERY SECOND of our lives COUNTS.  The sacred is available to us at any time, in any place, and with anyone.  We only need to slow down to recognize and see the sacred that always surrounds us.
