February 2026 - Embodying Resilience

Resources for a Month of Reflection

from Soul Matters

TThis month’s theme packet, Embodying Resilience, invites readers to reimagine resilience not as solitary toughness or relentless grit, but as a relational, compassionate, and deeply human practice. Challenging cultural narratives of self-sufficiency, the packet explores resilience as something that emerges between us; through shared care, vulnerability, honesty about failure, and the courage to lean on one another in times of strain, grief, and uncertainty.

The packet offers a rich collection of spiritual practices, reflection questions, guided conversations, quotes, and curated resources designed to help individuals and groups embody resilience in daily life. Practices invite participants to reframe failure as a source of growth, examine the impact of inner self-talk, identify personal sources of “keeping going,” engage images as gateways to insight, and reflect on scars, losses, and transformations that have shaped them. With music, readings, videos, and table-talk guides included, this packet supports personal reflection, small groups, and communal exploration throughout the month; grounding resilience in connection, meaning, and shared humanity.
