Join Dr. Tom Wagner at the sold-out inaugural Sunday Morning Cafe, a space designed for adults of all ages to reset, connect deeply, and build resilience. In this episode you’ll explore with Dr. Tom and the 90 attendees how to create ‘thin places’—spaces where we feel closer to the Sacred—through heartfelt stories from family and friends and live music performances that lift the spirit.
Key Takeaways
- “What’s deepest in us is what’s most universal between us.”
- Embrace your inner critic with compassion rather than resistance.
- Seeing beauty in others can reflect the beauty within yourself.
- Vulnerability and authenticity foster deep human connection.
- Music, poetry, and meditation can cultivate spiritual presence and mindful awareness.
- Intentional love—both given and received—is a “super power” we all possess.
Reflection Questions
- What did you hear or experience from the music or Tom’s talk that was meaningful for you… that affirmed something for you, encouraged you or challenged you?
- Where in your life have you experienced the presence of God, or the Divine, or deep Beauty, or a depth of Love? What did that feel like? Tell the story.
- What things tend to be barriers to experiencing that deep sense of Presence? What helps you notice those barriers, and become more present?
- Where are some “thin places” for you?
