Light for the Journey
2025 Advent Series
This Advent, we invite you to a season of reflection, renewal, and anticipation—a time to open our hearts to the quiet miracles that guide us through life’s waiting and wonder. Each week, we’ll explore the inner landscapes of Hope & Faith, Peace, Love, and Joy—not as distant ideals, but as eternal lights we carry with us on the journey toward Christmas and beyond. Together, we’ll discover how preparing our hearts can illuminate our lives, our communities, and the world around us.

Week 1 | November 30Holding a Heart Full of Hope
“Hope springs eternal” is a phrase we’ve all heard, but what does it really mean for us, especially when life feels heavy or uncertain?
Together, we’ll discover how keeping hope in our hearts can be a healing force: restoring our spirits, strengthening our resilience, and rippling outward to touch our world with compassion and possibility.
Week 2 | December 7Peace in a Chaotic World: The Inside Job of Advent
If Peace only worked on calm days, none of us would have it.
Thankfully, that’s not how spiritual peace works. Join us as we explore the surprising ways Peace shows up inside the chaos—and how to access that deep calm even when life is loud, messy, or a little extra.
In the second week of our series, Rev. Aliza, drawing from her book Paradox of Awakening: Finding Peace in a World of Chaos, we’ll rediscover Peace as a living frequency, a spiritual technology, and a daily practice of alignment.
Week 3 | December 14Advent Love: The Gift We Become
Advent Love is more than a candle—it's a consciousness.
In the third week of our Advent journey, we dive into Love as the creative force of the universe, the frequency of the Christ within, and the energy that reshapes our lives from the inside out.
Rev. Aliza joins us through the frequencies of love and Zoom to explore how Love is the real Christmas miracle, not as an emotion we feel, but as a presence we become.
