I take Liam and Reid to kid’s yoga twice a month. It is one of our favorite activities to do together. Lo and behold, last week during class, we learned about “ahimsa,” or the Sanskrit word for “non-injury.” Gandhi, in addition to other wise people, spoke often of the importance of ahimsa. Nonviolence also happens to be the theme of the November RE Newsletter, The Spark. Um…the universe may be trying to tell me something here. But hey, who couldn’t use a little reminder of intentional peace during this busy time of year? Join me in November as we explore nonviolence in our RE CartUUns class, youth group meet-up, and at All Ages RE hangouts each Sunday morning at 10 AM.
