"Rooted" with Christy Berghoef, next week Thursday, July 10, 7pm, Port 393
We had a wonderful sound healing experience with Davin in June! We will definitely have him back in 2026. Here’s a sample of the experience (Yes, those are my feet).
We welcome Christy Berghoef next week for the launch of her memoir Rooted: A Spiritual Memoir of Homecoming! There will be an opportunity to buy Christy’s book and to have it signed.
Next gathering: “Rooted” with Christy Berghoef, July 10, 6pm Happy Hour, 7pm discussion, Port 393, Holland, MI
Christy Berghoef’s wise and welcoming memoir is a warm invitation for anyone who
has left home—and wonders if they can return. Christy challenges conventional faith
while affirming deep spiritual truths.
This true story of soul, soil and spiritual awakening follows Christy on a life-changing
journey from a conservative Christian upbringing in rural Michigan to the halls of
Washington, D.C., and back again. Along the way, she confronts the unraveling of her
childhood faith, the complexities of parenting and ministry, and the spiritual power of
rediscovering home. Rooted in the sacred ground of her family’s 40-acre farm, Christy
explores themes of spiritual transformation, social justice, motherhood, the healing
wisdom of the land—and the meaning of belonging. Rooted is a story of exploring the
world, coming home—and learning to “bloom where we are planted.”
Christy’s reflections are beautiful and thoughtful and vulnerable. I’ve been thinking a lot about these words from Rooted.
The earth is what God has made and the world is what humans have made. The earth has much to teach us about living in the world and I have found that I cannot endure the world without being close to the earth. When I sit too long with the harsh realities of the world and become distant from the earth, discouragement overwhelms me. I have to be rooted in the earth to live in the world.
Christy and I will unpack this, and much more, next week Thursday, July 10. We hope to see you there.
