Community Explores "Metamodern" Spirituality
A new study group has been launched by the Inland Northwest Unitarian Universalist Community (INUUC) in Spokane. This initiative, dubbed 'Lighthouse Spokane', is an experimental project in partnership with the Clear Sky Retreat Center in Cranbrook, BC. The group aims to explore "metamodern" approaches to spirituality, characterized by a capacity to hold complexity, acknowledge multiple truths, and foster hopeful engagement amidst prevailing uncertainty.
The project is framed as an effort to understand emerging perspectives. It draws from the INUUC's stated commitment to its 'Covenant', described as a 'sacred promise of good relations'. The community emphasizes principles such as accountability, presence, listening, embracing imperfection and curiosity, and cultivating joy and compassion within its diverse membership. This forms the bedrock upon which these new explorations are built.
East Meets West, Now Meets the Future
This venture also involves a collaboration with Buddhist teacher and author Catherine. Her involvement is highlighted in the context of "Where East Meets West Meets Now: Shared Values Across Traditions." This suggests an intention to bridge disparate spiritual and philosophical streams under the broader umbrella of metamodern inquiry.
