About the event
Why Consent, Curiosity and Boundaries Matter Spiritually
Have you ever gone in for a hug... only to discover the other person was reaching for their coffee?
Or found yourself trapped in one of those "just one more thing..." conversations that somehow lasts another 20 minutes?
Most of us have been there.
But what if those everyday moments are actually invitations to grow?
This Sunday we'll explore why emotional intelligence may be one of the most important spiritual practices of our time—and why consent isn't just about hugs. It's about respect. Curiosity. Healthy boundaries. Accountability. And creating a community where everyone feels safe enough to belong.
