*Remote Via Zoom* Dr. Berger and Herb K. continue to explore the core components of emotional sobriety in this series of workshops. They will help you: Become more aware of your emotional dependency and how it automatically and unconsciously impacts your life and influences your behavior; How to break free from the shackles of this dependency; Develop a practice of emotional sobriety which will increase your ability and confidence to cope with reality as it is rather than how you expect it to be or think it should be. We invite you to join us for what we promise to be a very stimulating and thought-provoking experience.

Whatever your season, make time to come walk with us! There is a time and a season for all things in heaven and earth. The labyrinth in an outdoor setting is a powerful way to reconnect with nature, away from screens, noise, and busy lives. Walk amid the sights, sounds and scents of natural surroundings. Following the labyrinth path, we allow our souls to catch up as we feel earth’s solid ground, hear wind in the trees and breathe in the fragrance of the plants. Labyrinths walks and prayer-in-motion can be a transforming activity, turning sorrow into joy, grief into purpose and uncertainty into calm acceptance and trust. Join Sue Ballotti and Paul Craig, Veriditas Certified Labyrinth Facilitatiors, on an all- day all labyrinth experience that includes historical background, group sharing, and two guided and themed labyrinth walks -- a walk in the trees and a walk to transformation.
“Behold, I have set before thee an open door.” - Revelation 3:8 Use the art of Sacred Collage™ to examine the thresholds in your life ~ what are you being called to walk through? Opening. Closing. Knocking. Locking. What is happening with the doorway of your heart? As a seeker, do you notice when one door is opening and another is closing? Do you pay attention when standing at a threshold, resting in the liminal experience of in-betweeness? Are there doors drawing your attention and inviting you into something unknown? Come allow the sacred art of collage, suffused with silent reflection, to reveal insights and next steps; invite spirit to guide you and help you see and hear answers. Together we will enjoy a day of creative curiosity infused with spiritual meaning and prayers.
