Unitarian Universalism

Discover the essence of Seva, a Sanskrit term for selfless service, as it intertwines with the practice of yoga and the call to action for justice. This week, join me (and many others) at two significant events in Minnesota: welcoming legislators at the Capitol and participating in the People's March in Saint Paul. Show up in solidarity for justice, equity, and the greater good, embodying the spirit of Seva both on and off the mat. Let's unite in mindfulness, presence, and intentional service, contributing to the collective good without expecting anything in return.

In a world that can often feel divided, small acts of kindness and inclusion can make a big difference. Inspired by Stephen Cope’s concept of "Indra’s net," which reminds us that each of us plays a part in the interconnected web of life, this article reflects on the power of simple gestures like a welcoming sign, inclusive language, and community-driven change. Whether in a yoga studio, a faith group, or the wider world, every action ripples out, creating a more compassionate and just world. Small as they may seem, these efforts are part of something much bigger—and together, they add up.
