Trusting Change

"In Trusting Change, minister and award-winning writer Karen Hering offers pastoral support and spiritual skills building for individuals on the cusp of personal change within the collective context of a world that is reshaping itself at a faster pace than ever. In Trusting Change, minister and award-winning writer of Writing to Wake the Soul: Opening the Sacred Conversation Within, Karen Hering offers pastoral support and spiritual skills building for individuals on the cusp of personal change within the collective context of a world that is reshaping itself at a faster pace than ever. The book's ten thresholding skills give readers practical tools for living on the threshold and through change, but this is not a typical "how-to" guide and its beautifully written and evocative language will connect readers with their own deeper consciousness. From the book's first page, the reader is greeted by a warm storyteller ready to journey with them through uncertainty and change. Hering does not pretend that change is easy but notes its inevitability and some of the ways readers can participate in it, allowing them to trust it more in the future. Sharing wisdom found in nature and in metaphors, the reflections include evocative questions and creative, often embodied exercises that invite the reader into a larger story of change. This book is a conversation with the reader meant to also stir conversations between readers as we learn to live into and through our transformative times together"--
