Senior Pastor

Tenth Church

I will be speaking on:

Self-Care and Resilience for Church Leaders

How Beauty Makes Us Whole

In this session, Ken Shigematsu explores the relationship between beauty and freedom from toxic shame. When we are exposed to beauty, the right hemisphere of our brain becomes more active, and our left hemisphere grows quiet. As a result, shame has less room to work. Putting ourselves on the "pathway of beauty" every day is a way to experience joy, awaken to God's love, and live with greater lightness of being.
