- Feeling stuck, and not quite sure how to get unstuck? 
- Coming to a crossroads in life, and struggling to decide which path to take? 
- Seeking a community without religious dogma and without the pressure to conform at the expense of your individual autonomy? 
- Looking to connect with your deeper sense of meaning and purpose? 
JOIN US FOR A NIGHT OF CONVERSATION AND EXPLORATION

WHO WE ARE:
A BUDDING COMMUNITY OF SEEKERS
- We are looking for community, connection, and wisdom in an era defined by distraction and separation. 
- We are open to the possibility deep truths exist, but instinctively resist the shallow spirituality typically offered by religious institutions. 
- We don’t like being told what to believe or how to behave, and commit to not imposing our beliefs and expectations on others. 
- Our preference would be to identify tools that help us find the answers we seek for ourselves, but do so in a community of fellow seekers. 
- Our group is explicitly irreligious, though we welcome the religious and irreligious alike. 
- All are welcome who support and honor our commitment 
 not to impose beliefs on others.

Co-hosted online by Rev. Erik Swanson & Beth Wylie
First and Third Wednesday Afternoons 3PM
Our current areas of focus are supporting our immigrant neighbors, LGBTQIA+ allyship, fighting Christian nationalism and promoting human rights for Palestinians. If you are passionate about these or topics, drop in to Justice Cafe – we would love to hear from you.
As People of Hope we strive to walk beside those most impacted by injustice…the immigrant and refugee, our LGBTQIA+ siblings, people of color, the unhoused, the creatures of the Earth…to name just a few.
Together, we are better able to face the suffering of the world in love and to have a greater impact with more joy as we work for justice. Learn or share about opportunities to get involved…as a community we can make a difference.

      Anti-Racism Book Club: Beloved by Toni Morrison
Toni Morrison's Beloved is a powerful novel that explores the lasting psychological trauma of slavery on individuals and communities. It centers on Sethe, a formerly enslaved woman who, after escaping to Ohio, is haunted by the ghost of her baby daughter whom she killed to prevent her from being returned to slavery. The arrival of a mysterious young woman named Beloved, who is believed to be the embodiment of the murdered child, forces Sethe to confront her past and the devastating consequences of slavery.
