October: All Hallows Eve Quiet Day – The Thin Places and Those We Meet There
Date: October 27
Facilitator: Mary
Time: 10am-4:30pm
Fee: $35
On this Quiet Day, we will focus on All Hallow’s Eve…the first in a of a trinity of festivals – Halloween, All Saints, All Souls. We will consider the “thin place” that opens up when the veil between this world and the next feels more permeable. Who no longer lives in this world with you, but continues to linger close in your heart or inspires you to live a life of purpose? When do you feel closest to their presence? How do we honor and celebrate those lives and receive their gifts? How do we live with less fear of that passage for ourselves and those we love?

Listening to the language of the heart needs quiet, sacred space. Close your weekend and prepare for the week ahead with this contemplative practice. It’s not art, and it’s not craft. It’s soul work. Let you soul speak in the language it knows best: image. No experience necessary. All materials included.

Advent Quiet Day
Sat, Dec 1st 10am-4:30pm
At some point our spiritual journey takes us down the “Night Road”, through a season of shadows and darkness. Sometimes these are seasons of deep loss or struggle. Other times they are more like quiet, fallow times where holy work in us happens unseen, in silence. Join us for a day of prayer and reflection on how we travel this “night road” and look for the sacred presence shimmering among the shadows.
