Our Monthly Spiritual Themes guide our Chalice Circles, which are small, intentional groups of members and friends that gather for spiritual enrichment through personal sharing. For more information on Chalice Circles, please email Linda Benson at chalicecircles@uuprinceton.org.

Our Chalice Circle thoughts and questions around the theme of Transformation this month are:

“Instead of birth and death, there is only continuing transformation.” ⎯ Thich Nhat Hanh

 

What does transformation mean to you?

“Transformation is a process… It’s a journey of discovery—there are moment on mountaintops and
moments in deep valleys of despair.” ⎯ Rick Warren

Can you describe a time when you felt transformed in a positive way?
Or in a way that did not feel positive?

 

“Transformation requires that a person be prepared to receive unexpected opportunities.”
⎯ Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

When has transformation led to your receiving an unexpected opportunity?

 

“If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a
transformation.” ⎯ Jiddu Krishnamurti

How is transformation essential to understanding yourself?
