In today’s lesson, we will discuss the importance of cultivating and identifying your loved one’s ideas on “Home” and ”Community,” what how they feel [or don’t feel] like they belong, what implications this could have on their spiritual life, and self-image, and what you can do in small ways daily to reunify positive communities and healthy identities through revisiting ideas on “divine hospitality,” for our loved ones and strangers. We are working today on an exercise to create a sacred space in our homes.
