The Monthly Theme for March is Regulating Emotions.
On Sunday, March 1, at 11am, we warmly welcome back to the UU Coastside Pulpit Bill Heavlin, with a sermon entitled “Rusting Buddha, Shrugging Angel, and the Search for Grit.”
This service is anchored in the work of therapist David Richo and the so-called 5 givens of Buddhism: (1) Everything changes and ends. (2) Things do not always go according to plan. (3) Life is not always fair. (4) Pain is part of life. (5) People are not always loving and loyal.
In an original sermon, Bill incorporates Buddhist wisdom, modern psychology, engineering science, and art history to examine our responses to life’s disappointments. He then describes the deep connections between core coping skills, spiritual seeking, and a fully adult, fully human point of view.
Bill Heavlin retired in 2022 after a long career in Silicon Valley. He has one son, now living in Minneapolis. With his wife of 32 years, Bill is a principal lay leader of the Unitarian Universalist Coastside Community, centered in Half Moon Bay, California. His theology, which continues to evolve, centers around the recurring themes of ethics, interpersonal communication, and poetic imperative. For hobbies, Bill creates bits of poetry and watercolor.
Gorgeous music will be provided by Diedrik Edholm on piano and Vera Vanderschalk on classical guitar. This service starts at 11 am at Odd Fellows Hall, 529 Main Street, Half Moon Bay, CA.
