From Lens to Mirror ~
The Transformation Within
Rev. Julie Lobato
Transformation asks more of us than changing our circumstances, it asks us to change the way we see. Dr. Shawn Ginwright's First Pivot, from his book The Four Pivots, invites us to make a profound shift: from lens to mirror. The lens examines the world, identifies problems, and notices what needs to change. The mirror turns that same awareness inward and asks, "What is this revealing about me?" After learning to trust the chemicalization of transformation, we now take the next step: becoming willing to meet what is surfacing with curiosity rather than judgment. Because sometimes the thing we most want to change in our lives is carrying a message about the consciousness through which we're experiencing life. Join us as we explore the sacred art of self-awareness, and discover that the mirror isn't showing us what's wrong with us. It's showing us where we are ready to grow.
