Wholeness + Completeness
There is a greeting in many Semitic languages that can be traced back to the same root. The words vary from dialect to dialect – shalom in Hebrew, salaam in Arabic – but the semantics are the same. Peace be with you. The root meaning translates to “whole, safe, intact” – implying that to be at peace with others and ourselves requires that we carry alongside us a deep sense of wholeness, completeness and even safeness. What does it mean to be truly at peace with ourselves? And if we were to truly be at peace within our own beings, how radically could that change the world around us? In a season in which we talk a lot about peace, yet often find ourselves living in chaos, we are going to take a closer look at what peace – in the sense of the words shalom and salaam – looks like. And how it might transform our understanding of how we move through the world.
Here are some article ideas:
- How can we redefine wholeness
- Showing up for yourself
- Redefining hospitality
- Not feeling “good” at hospitality, while still being hospitable
- Dealing with stress
- How to deal with introverted-ness in times of fellowship
- How do you and your family stay “healthy” (physically, spiritually) in the midst of the seasonal rush
- Tell us about a person in your life that embodies peace or a special place that encompasses peace
- How do you promote “peace” in your home
- Finding space for shalom in the everyday
- What area in your life is in the greatest need of wholeness and safety
- Letting go of places or people who do not help/encourage you to pursue wholeness
