LIVING CONTEMPLATIVELY

9 Saturdays    9:30 AM – 3:30 PM

This program calls out to those who desire to live more contemplatively in the world, to grow in union with God and others, and to become more aware, intentional and free.  God liberates us and heals us through the practice of contemplative prayer.  It’s worth a day a month and an hour a day.  We will focus on three works of Thomas Merton and use his Bridges to Contemplative Living series as our guide throughout the year. Bring a bag lunch. Tuition: $325.

ENNEAGRAM INTRODUCTORY COURSE

Saturday, October 9

9:30 AM – 3:30 PM

The Enneagram is a study of spiritual patterns that affords profound insight into the workings of human consciousness. It is one of the world’s oldest models for understanding how people relate to each other and to God. Based on nine personality types, the Enneagram allows us to identify the central motivation of our actions. This recognition leads to compassion for ourselves and others. This workshop is for those who are new to the Enneagram. Donation: $50 (includes materials) Please bring a bag lunch.

HEALING THROUGH
THE ACT OF CREATION

Saturday, October 9

1:00  – 3:30 PM

Being creative is not just for a special few. Rather, it is the nature of God which is embedded in the DNA of the universe. Through various materials of visual art, the participants will express and enrich themselves, while participating in the creativity of God and in the creative processes of the cosmos. Healing comes as we allow our God-given nature to be and live and grow! Donation: $15. Presenter: Sister Mary Anne Zakreski, SSJ.
