October 21 POWER AND POWERLESSNESS: Being Rooted in Clarity
Knowing when to act, when to wait, when to surrender, when to engage, and when to let go requires
a clear understanding of the use of personal power. For the minister called to act in the name of Jesus, that understanding keeps conflict creative, rather than destructive, and allows space for God’s activity to flourish.
Arrival: 9:30 a.m. Departure: 2:30 p.m.
Presenter: Sr. Rite Woehlcke, SSJ Cost: $35

Staff Cost: $25
December 14 AN ADVENT JOURNEY WITH MARTHA AND MARY
Are we caught up in the “FRENZY” of preparation for Christmas during Advent or are we “Balancing our Advent Journey” with prayer and preparation so that we might discover that we have “birthed” something new within us at Christmas? Join us as we take time to quiet ourselves and gently know our own feelings. Together we can experience peace in our personal lives during Advent by taking time to reflect upon the birth of Jesus and the “newness” of ourselves as we journey toward Christmas.

Presenters: Paulette Cicero Cost: $35

Presenter: Paulette Cicero Cost: $35
April 13 WHEN THE HEART WAITS
What does God say to us about waiting in scripture and through some of the spiritual writers of our time? What are we called to in the waiting? Sue Monk Kidd says that “when the heart waits, the Great Mystery begins.” Come for a day focused on WAITING…the passionate and contemplative space in which new life and spiritual wholeness can be birthed. Presenter Paulette Cicero is a certified spiritual director and conducts retreats and days of reflection for women. Arrival: 9:30 a.m. Departure: 1:00 p.m.
