There's a new spiritual term winding its way through the ethers these days - SPIRITUAL FLUIDITY.
I discovered it within the pages of a phenomenal new book by Duane Bidwell titled When One Religion Isn't Enough: The Lives of Spiritually Fluid People.
The moment I began to read his words I experienced a new door to inner freedom open up for me.
I've never been comfortable with religious or spiritual labels; the way we identify ourselves or one another by a belief system. They tend to be stereotypical and inaccurate—and sometimes a source of personal pain. I have been a non-traditional seeker most of my life and that has not been an easy path to walk in my conservative part of the world. (I wrote about it here.)
I've tended to see myself as "spiritually independent," forging my own unique path apart from traditional religious forms. I am also an interfaith type of person and often describe my spirituality as such, honoring the world's wisdom traditions and respecting those who follow them.
But finding this new term, Spiritual Fluidity, changed me. It fit me! And because it did, I have felt a new kind of power surging through me. Call it self-acceptance. Call it release from what others might think. Call it healing. It's a wonderful sense of spiritual freedom that I sense many of us are ready to embrace today.
If you think YOU might be a Spiritually Fluid person—or Multiply Religious—another term for spiritual identity that Bidwell uses (as both a Christian and a Buddhist himself), I'd like to invite you to this:
We believe Dr. Bidwell's work is going to change the spiritual conversation we are having with one another today, particularly how we can embrace our unique spiritual paths with deep compassion and care. His contribution creates a climate of unity and acceptance, as opposed to much of the divisive rhetoric we are hearing bandied about today.
Even if you can't attend the event live, PLEASE register because you'll receive a recording of the webinar for later listening (and sharing with others!).
I hope you will join me for this exciting opportunity to heal and connect with yourself and others in a ground-breaking new way.
