The service will explore how language like “woke”(once rooted in awareness and care) has been distorted and weaponized. Reclaiming wakefulness as a sacred act of love rather than a label or division, and what it means to be truly alive to the world around us, to refuse apathy, and to practice mutual care.

This Week’s Wondering Questions:
Think back to a time when you felt eager to learn, share, or get involved with a certain cause or issue, but you were labeled as “too sensitive,” “too woke,” or maybe “too political.” What was that experience like for you?
- In contrast to moments when you may have felt shut down and dismissed, share a time when being “awake” and involved actually made you feel alive—a moment with a group of people that reminded you that you are meant to be right here.
- How has this overall experience changed how you show up for your friends, families, and communities now?
11:00 AM Service — meeting in Hobbs Hall and on Zoom
