The Physics of the Quest
What happens when we're willing to leave behind what we know, in order to grow? In this exploration inspired by Eat Pray Love, we’ll journey beyond borders—through Italy, India, and Bali—and into the deeper terrain of the heart.
Based on Elizabeth Gilbert’s bestselling memoir and its 2010 film adaptation, Eat Pray Love invites us to leave behind the lives we’ve outgrown and follow the quiet pull of Spirit. It’s a story of grief, awakening, and the sacred power of saying “yes” to the call of transformation. Along the way, we encounter the healing of pleasure, the discipline of devotion, and the courage it takes to live life with an open heart.
Gretchel Johnson joins us in person for the final installment of our "Metaphysics at the Movies" series. Come explore what it means to wander, to wonder, and to wake up to your truest self.

What if the moments that feel like endings are actually invitations into a new way of living? What if uncertainty isn’t something to fix, but something to walk through?
This Sunday, Rev. Aliza joins us virtually as we explore how life continues to unfold—often beyond our plans, preferences, and timelines—and how the willingness to stay present in the unknown becomes the doorway to something deeper, freer, and unexpectedly alive.
