Calling all bloggers!
Just posted the secondt Blog Carnival on Engaged Spirituality--Engaging Resistance. Hope you enjoy it!
The 3rd edition of this Carnival will be on the topic of engaging our FEAR in the service of spiritual development. If you're a blogger (either with the Virtual Teahouse or have your own site), please consider submitting your favorite post about how fear and spirituality intersect in every day life. Deadline for this edition is July 26th, and will be posted on this site on August 3rd. It doesn't have to be 'pretty'...just needs to be real.
Working definition of spirituality: The quality of connection we have with ourselves, others, the natural world, and whatever we consider 'ultimate reality'.
Inviting bloggers who are interested in rolling about in the mud of engaged spirituality:
- What does it mean to see life through spiritual eyes?
- Especially invited are difficult topics, for example: where are you conflicted? hypocritical? unloving? ungrateful? etc...
- And what do you do with that realness? Looking forward to reading what you all have to say!
Just click on the link below and follow the instructions...let me know if you have problems.

About Beth Patterson
The Virtual Tea House website became 'word-ripe' when, over a cup of jasmine green, I realized that the web has an expanding part to play in the communal aspects of spiritual growth.
With a master's degree in religion, my career spans 20 years in end of life care and I currently work in the field of child abuse intervention and advocacy.
Here in beautiful Central Oregon, my spiritual homes of the high desert and the mountains are both in proximity. And for good measure, four hours away is Grandmother Ocean and the stunning Oregon Coast.
I'm making decent progress on the goal set by my mother early on: she taught us that the goal of humanity should be to become ever-more eccentric, i.e. more fully human.
Entering the 'forest-dweller' phase of life, I am honored to host the Virtual Tea House for all who wish to explore how our lives are enriched and made new a thousand times each day by the spirituality we embody. Exploring this engagement together is the purpose of the Virtual Tea House.
Welcome! Let's have a cup of virtual tea together and share what brings us joy, what we are being taught by life, how we are leaning into the Big Questions posed to us each day in sometimes 'distressing disguises'.
