Giving In and Getting Whole

Both surrender and forgiveness are powerful tools with which we can change ourselves and change our lives. Their virtues have been recognized through the ages and all the religious traditions of the world have sung their praises. However, as with all powerful tools, they must be used skillfully if they are to be effective. In this workshop, therefore, we will explore the value of surrender, the value of forgiveness, and how they can best be applied in our day-to-day lives.

Inspirations for Life’s Journey as Presented in Movies
Presented by Valerie Taylor

Wednesday Evenings – Movies begin at 6:30pm
July 19

Join us as we look at films that inspire us along life’s journey. We’ll take a look at a different film each week and discuss how it represents the inner journey toward a meaningful life.

This is the introductory class for the workshop to be held in the fall.

Reading sacred text as a spiritual practice

For a very long time, reading the Bible and other sacred texts has been a powerful practice in many spiritual traditions. Lectio Divina (Latin for “Divine Reading”) is a traditional Benedictine practice of scriptural reading, meditation, prayer and contemplation intended to promote communion with God. Some version of this practice has been used in all faith traditions.

Participants in this workshop will learn the discipline of sacred reading and then participate, as a group, in the practice using texts from different traditions. Join us for an evening of exploring the world of sacred reading.
