About the Event
Being One with God’s Creation: "Stillness...Communion"
Wednesday, October 2 | 10-11:30 AM | In Person
“Let me seek, then, the gift of silence, and poverty, and solitude, where everything I touch is turned into prayer: where the sky is my prayer, the birds are my prayer, the wind in the trees is my prayer, for God is in all.”
(Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude)
The invitation to begin living our questions through sacred listening is the hallmark of monks, prophets, saints and seekers. Let us follow in their footsteps, exploring and experiencing contemplative practices which will both offer an antidote to chaos and distraction as well as open our hearts to discern our work as Earth caregivers. Suggested fee: $25
“Our world is charged with the grandeur of God…!”
(Gerard Manley Hopkins)
We all experience that incredible beauty, but we also know how much our Earth is now struggling. As we seek to find ways to care for our Common Home, let us comfort and challenge each other while grappling with this most essential question…
“HOW THEN SHALL WE LIVE…?”
Through this series of stand-alone programs, we are engaging this question using the lenses of stillness, simplicity and service as touchstones for our journey.
