2026 CSL Global Theme: Open at the Top
As a spiritual movement, being Open at the Top means embodying our Global Vision: a world that works for everyone and all of creation. It invites us to live as one global family, honoring the interconnectedness of all life, embracing diversity, and choosing love and connection over righteousness. It calls us to personal responsibility and social conscience, to sustainable and just practices, and to the joyful, creative expression of Spirit through us. To be Open at the Top in 2026 is to release outdated practices and fear-based thinking, to honor ancestral wisdom while welcoming new visions, and to live from the eternal Truth that Love is forever creating, forever becoming, and forever expressing through each of us.
Every month is designed to address the theme from four different perspectives or lenses: Personal Outer & Inner, and Collective Outer & Inner. The order in which these perspectives are taken changes from month to month, allowing for a fresh and dynamic unfolding of each theme. No matter the order, all four perspectives are engaged, ensuring that each theme is experienced as both deeply personal and broadly collective, both inward and outward in its expression. Once a quarter, during the months with five Sundays, a fifth perspective is added: Oneness. This lens takes a big picture view of the entire quarter, drawing the threads together to highlight our shared wholeness and unity.
september Theme: radical embodiment
September’s theme of Radical Embodiment will contain both an exploration of somatic practices and wisdom to connect to the wisdom of our bodies, as well as an examination of the ways the body has been misused and maligned both in Western culture at large and sometimes even within SOM teachings. By understanding the roots of the misunderstanding and mistreatment of the body, we can radically–from the root–learn to embody our teachings as well as ourselves. Honoring the body as a sacred vessel and as a primary text for spiritual understanding, this month will provide an open-at-the-top understanding of embodiment as both something to be practiced and an ideal for which to strive.

Week 1- Title: Inhabiting Togetherness
About: This month, join us as we consider Radical Embodiment. The first step is to reconcile with our beliefs about the body, and not just any body, but our body. Today. If our body could speak to us, what would it say?
September 13, 2026, Rev. Steve Van Meter
Week 2- Title: Inhabiting the Inner Habitat
About: We continue our exploration of embodiment this week, looking at our inner worlds and how they are influenced by the cultural treatment of our body. What is embodiment, and what is it like to live in the habitat that God creates through our physical self?
September 20, 2026, Rev. Steve Van Meter
Week 3- Title: The Secrets We Share
About: Shame has been a tool used to oppress people via their bodies for centuries. This week, as we move further into radical embodiment, we consider shame and begin the work of releasing it. Where is shame in our body? When did we learn it? What might it be like to let it go?
September 27, 2026, Rev. Steve Van Meter
Week 4- Title: The Audacity To Be This Comfortable
About: As we conclude our experience of radical embodiment, we explore deep comfort and wonder in our bodies. What might our lives be like if we treated our body with the same wonder, reverence, and delight as we do the Earth?
