However, Shrock pro- poses there is wisdom and benefit in a more mindful approach, such as “loving what is.” He said, “There is an as- pect of us that knows ex- actly what we need to do to heal and grow. It’s time to learn to trust it and let go.” The fellowship is locat- ed at 87738 Highway 101 at Heceta Beach Road and is wheelchair accessible. Each service concludes with refreshments and a dialogue circle to explore the questions that come up during each worship ser- vice.
