We asked a few folks from the Harbor team to share about their own personal practices of slowing down during the summer months and the impact that has on their spiritual, mental, and emotional wellbeing. We hope their responses inspire you to embrace the gift of this season in your own life.
Redemption
Suffering is uncomfortable to confront — and we are prone to run from it, recover from it as quickly as we can, or risk breaking under the weight of it. In my experience, whether professional or personal, there is no level of skill, wisdom, or empathy that truly comforts the one who suffers. But this is where the beautiful truth of redemption steps in and begins to undo the work of suffering and loss.
Take Notice
Amid the quiet rhythm of a daily walk, this reflection explores how the changing seasons mirror the inner transformations we often overlook. With gentle observations and spiritual grounding, it’s an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and notice the beauty—and the divine presence—woven into everyday life.
