SUMMARY:Poet-Prophet Formational Journey Cohort
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to respond in these times as a Poet–Prophet—a fellow traveler on the Formational Journey—by joining a 12-week cohort of 8 meetings\, weaving together: \n\nPoetry of the soul: attentiveness\, imagination\, presence\nProphetic courage: truth-telling\, discernment\, hopeful action\nCommunal flourishing: connection\, place-making\, and the shaping of a sacred commons\n\nStarting in March and running through June\, we will meet on the first and third Wednesdays from 4:00-5:30pm in Shields Hall.  \nTo register\, simply email Deborah@Meetinghouse.life.\nRegister Now\n  \nCohort Meeting Dates: the first and third Wednesdays from 4:00-5:30pm in Shields Hall.  \n\nMarch 4\, 2026\nMarch 18\, 2026\nApril 1\, 2026\nApril 15\, 2026\nMay 6\, 2026\nMay 20\, 2026\nJune 3\, 2026\nJune 17\, 2026\n\n  \nAN INVITATION TO A JOURNEY \nThis is an invitation to a journey in response to a collective longing for wisdom and for courage in these times. These longings are not incidental; they are signs of a threshold moment—a time of both exile and emergence. In such times\, the Formational Journey becomes our compass: an ancient path made new\, guiding us from the reclamation of Core\, through the shaping of Character\, toward the embodiment of Community for the sake of communal flourishing. \nThroughout history\, such moments have called forth Poets and Prophets—not as titles\, but as capacities of the soul formed over time. They help us remember what matters most and call us toward the world that longs to be born. \nThe Poet: Knowing and Being Known \nThe Poet emerges as we reclaim our Core—our true identity in Source. The Poet listens beneath the noise\, attends to the subtle\, awakens imagination\, and restores our capacity to see. This is the Know of the inner journey: remembering deeply\, locating ourselves in story and belonging\, and discerning truth from illusion\, presence from performance. \nThe Prophet: Giving and Acting in Truth \nThe Prophet emerges as Character is formed—through surrender\, courage\, shadow work\, and the refining fire of love. The Prophet reads the signs of the times\, discerns what is breaking and what is being born\, and speaks truth in service of shalom. This is the Give of the outer journey: living with integrity\, acting justly\, loving mercy\, and walking humbly with God and neighbor. Nurturing both Poet and Prophet brings alignment between what we profess and how we live. \nWhy This Journey Matters Now \nWe are living at a social\, spiritual\, and ecological inflection point. Our systems are strained\, our communities fragmented\, and our imaginations fatigued. The response is not simply new programs or institutions\, but a return to formation—to journey together toward wholeness\, wisdom\, and courageous presence. \nFormation teaches us to: \n\nConnect with Source\, one another\, and the living world\nRead our context with discernment and hope\nShape communities where belonging is nurtured and responsibility is shared\n\nThis is a practice that becomes our path.

SUMMARY:2026 Book Club: "Small is Beautiful" by E.F. Schumacher
DESCRIPTION:2026 Meetinghouse Book Club\nSmall and Revolutionary: Stories about Community and Transformative Change\nRead along with us!\n  \nSaturday\, June 27\, 2026 from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm\nJune’s book: Small is Beautiful by E.F. Schumacher\n  \nJoin us in The Market for our FREE monthly book club! Tickets available below. Please get a ticket to register for the event. \n  \nAbout this book: \n“Nothing less than a full-scale assault on conventional economic wisdom.” —Newsweek \nOne the 100 most influential books published since World War II —The Times Literary Supplement \nHailed as an “eco-bible” by Time magazine\, E.F. Schumacher’s riveting\, richly researched statement on sustainability has become more relevant and vital with each year since its initial groundbreaking publication during the 1973 energy crisis. A landmark statement against “bigger is better” industrialism\, Schumacher’s Small Is Beautiful paved the way for twenty-first century books on environmentalism and economics\, like Jeffrey Sachs’s The End of Poverty\, Paul Hawken’s Natural Capitalism\, Mohammad Yunis’s Banker to the Poor\, and Bill McKibben’s Deep Economy. This timely reissue offers a crucial message for the modern world struggling to balance economic growth with the human costs of globalization.

SUMMARY:2026 Book Club: "The Shoemaker & the Tea Party" by Alfred F. Young
DESCRIPTION:2026 Meetinghouse Book Club\nSmall and Revolutionary: Stories about Community and Transformative Change\nRead along with us!\n  \nSaturday\, July 18\, 2026 from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm\nJuly’s book: The Shoemaker & the Tea Party by Alfred F. Young\n  \nJoin us in The Market for our FREE monthly book club! Tickets available below. Please get a ticket to register for the event. \n  \nAbout this book: \nGeorge Robert Twelves Hewes\, a Boston shoemaker who participated in such key events of the American Revolution as the Boston Massacre and the Tea Party\, might have been lost to history if not for his longevity and the historical mood of the 1830’s. When the Tea Party became a leading symbol of the Revolutionary ear fifty years after the actual event\, this ‘common man’ in his nineties was ‘discovered’ and celebrated in Boston as a national hero. Young pieces together this extraordinary tale\, adding new insights about the role that individual and collective memory play in shaping our understanding of history.
