The Serpent of Destiny ~ led by Ashton K. Arnoldy

Is there something continuous weaving between the seemingly disparate chapters of our lives, our relationships, and the rhythm of our incarnations? Over three sessions, we will follow this living question—the luminous Serpent of Destiny—through reflective writing, poetic expression, and group sharing. Along the way, we will sift the mines of memory and gather whatever gems we find as an offering to the being who is this question.

3 Zoom meetings for 60 minutes each, Wednesdays, September 3, 10, & 17, 2025 at 12pm – 1pm ET
