January | January | January | January | January | January | 1 - 9:00-11:30am Spirituality and Social Action
9:00 AM-11:30 AM 2020.02.01  Many of the world’s leaders who have led great/lasting social change did their work from a place of deep spirituality: Jesus, the Apostle Paul, Lincoln, Gandhi. Martin Luther King Jr. When we get into the ‘thick’ of the daily challenges of trying to address the ills of our world, it is our inner spiritual resource that sustains and leads us on a path toward wisdom, skilled communication, and deep compassion. In this course we will define human spirituality and explore the work of deeper spirituality. Also, we will review spirituality as a resource in the lives of several great spiritual/social leaders. Workshop Leader: Jerry Burgess
Dates: 2 Saturdays, February 1 and 8 Time: 9:00am to 11:30am - 10:00am-12:00 noon – Lovingkindness Reflection
10:00 AM-12:00 PM 2020.02.01  Cultivate an Open HeartThe practice of Metta or Lovingkindness reflection helps us to develop and sustain a felt sense and attitude of lovingkindness toward ourselves, others, and all beings everywhere. Metta is a part of the Buddha’s heart teachings about lovingkindness, or the Brahma Viharas – compassion, sympathetic joy, equanimity, and “unbounded friendship” – often called as a group the “Heavenly Abodes.” This workshop will bring participants into experiences of lovingkindness and focus on how to bring about compassion, sympathetic joy, equanimity, and “unbounded friendship” in one’s daily life. The workshop will consider sila (virtue), samadhi (concentration), and pañña (wisdom) as they relate to lovingkindness. Since the purpose is to cultivate lovingkindness and good will, the workshop will be of benefit to anyone who is interested in the topic, no matter what spiritual tradition you might be interested in, or, for that matter, whether you are interested or involved in any spiritual tradition at all. The focus will simply be on how a person can cultivate a felt sense and attitude of lovingkindness toward themselves, others, and all beings everywhere. Workshop Leader: Fred Martinson

A Workshop for Men and Women as they Approach and Pass that Amazing Milestone of 60 YearsSomewhere along the way, as our lives approach 60, then move on to 65, to 70, and beyond — the questions change, sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically. But there are still questions. Profound questions. And decisions. And opportunities. Join us for an exploration of the questions and possibilities that arise during this important time of life: a time of seeking — and a time of finding. Workshop Leader: Jerry Askew
