Unfolding – An Invitation to Surrender to Life’s Flow
. . . . . . .

Lead Teacher: Brad Ruggles (he/him), our lead teacher, is a former pastor that deconstructed and later left the faith he was raised in after 18 years in ministry. He and his wife Lisa enjoy adventuring and traveling with their two adult daughters. Brad’s interests are diverse and include backpacking, meditation, breathwork, yoga, sport kiting, and photography.

Musician: Molly (she/her) is an award-winning singer-songwriter from
Grand Rapids. She writes to explore what it means to be a Black woman in America. Her unique past and desire for a sense of freedom inform both her emotive style and her thought-provoking lyrics, making for a moody, eclectic, colorful, and soulful sound.

Moment of Silence

Reading/Teaching: Brad Ruggles

“My formula for success was very simple: Do whatever is put in front of you with all your heart and soul without regard for personal results. Do the work as though it were given to you by
the universe itself – because it was. ”

“Surrender…taught me to willingly participate in life’s dance with a quiet mind and an open heart.”

– Michael Singer, The Surrender Experiment
