For millennia mystics and poets have told us that âAll is oneâ and yet we feel ourselves surrounded by separation, antagonism, and isolation! With help from some intrepid dung beetles, science ambassador JD Stillwater takes us on a tour of findings from mainstream science that reveal an underlying wholism in everything from human bodies to ecosystems to the very fabric of space-time. In short, science agrees: âAll is one."

Every summer RE invites our friends and families, as well as the whole congregation, to join us for ice cream to beat the heat and meet some cool people! This year we are planning to meetup at the Creamery at the Milky Way Farm in Chester Springs where all the ice cream is made fresh! They are accessible for parking and have room for the kids to run around and see the animals. They can also accommodate nut allergies with dedicated procedures and freshly opened products. So save the date and join us on Wednesday July 17th at the creamery at 7pm and plan for August 8th TBD.
One of the greatest gifts we can share with others is a sense of our own peace. However, we canât share what we donât have. Dr. Wicks, an expert on the prevention of secondary stress (the pressures experienced in reaching out to others), will offer insights into how we can live in peace and, in turn, extend our warmth to others without losing our own inner fire in the process.
Dr. Robert Wicks has spoken on resilience, self-care, and the prevention of secondary stress in venues ranging from universities to Capitol Hill, the UK and Beirut. He has published over 60 books, including most recently The Simple Care of a Hopeful Heart: Mentoring Yourself in Difficult Times.
