About this episode

Amy Brunell discusses the radical spiritual act of looking closely at the natural world through the lens of religious naturalism.

What if the most radical spiritual act is looking closer? Religious Naturalism is a faith practice that finds the sacred not beyond the natural world but entwined into the very core of it. It is the practice of interdependence. When we ground ourselves to look closely at what is actually real, something unexpected happens — call it reverence, call it wonder, call it joy. Come ready to see differently. This podcast begins with a reflection by Worship Associate Charlie Caswell.
