Expanding Horizons

Two Suggestions

Listen as Kris reflects on two suggestions by Jeshua.

Our Three Gifts

Kris leads today's service, and invites Di Russell to speak about our three gifts; Life, Mind and Faith.

Signposts on the Path

Kris discusses the signposts on the path to spiritual fulfilment; Disquiet, The Search, The Answer, Crisis, Renewal, Detachment and Reconnection.

Taking lessons from these signposts can lead us to becoming wiser, kinder, more loving people.

Equanimity

Equanimity is not indifference, emotional suppression, or passivity. True equanimity is a state of engaged, balanced presence where you see things clearly and respond without being reactive.

 

Unitarian member Jennie leads this podcast episode; sharing engaging view points from a selection of stories.

"Frankenstein's Monster"

Why is the story of Frankenstein's Monster so popular, even over 200 years since it was written by Mary Shelley? The original title gives a hint: "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus". Mary Shelley was inspired in part by a classic myth and, like all great stories, it reflects many enduring themes, such as loss, guilt, father-child relationships, and the consequences of defying nature's laws. Here Kris explores these themes and their links to spirituality.

Hygge: It's OK to be cosy!

Join Kris for an exploration of the Danish concept of "Hygge": a perfect topic for a chilly wet week in South Australia (and anywhere). Why not follow the Danish example and bring more hygge into your daily life?

The Six Perfections

Join Kris Hanna and guest speaker Lyndy Abrams for an exploration of  The Six Perfections,  a set of spiritual qualities cultivated by Buddhist practitioners.

A Course in Miracles

We don’t talk about miracles much, but on the 17th of May Kris unpacked a valuable 20th Century Christian text: A Course in Miracles, by Helen Schucman. While couched in Christian terms, the author's philosophy incorporates modern psychology and focuses on love, relationships and inner growth. Thus you may find it to be a valuable guide to your spiritual path.

Motherhood Statements

Kris discusses a selection of motherhood statements, in gratitude and celebration of the mothers and mother figures in our lives.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Kris explores with us, some of the ways that we might bring love and social justice into our own daily practices, from the life and words of Martin Luther King Jr.
