Week of Events
17th Annual Nativity Exhibit The Friendly Beasts
Every year we feature a specific aspect of the Christmas story. And each year we learn something new about the Nativity and how it has been celebrated throughout history. This year we have focused on the animals - those in the stable, those who played a part in Mary and Joseph’s remarkable event, those who have made an appearance in scenes throughout the world. The tradition of including animals in the scene reminds us of the universal appeal of the story and that all creatures in creation are part of God’s gift of life. Please join us to celebrate the Christmas miracle again this year.
Admission is free - our Christmas gift to you!
Emotional Sobriety: Joy of LIVING
Emotional Sobriety: Joy of LIVING
*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.
Grateful Gatherings
Grateful Gatherings
The Power of Living Gratefully ~ Experience, deepen, and share the power of living gratefully. Bring gratitude to life… We hold grateful living as an engaged mindfulness practice, grounded in both wisdom and science, which supports our ability to see the wonder and opportunity in every moment, and motivates us to act boldly with love, generosity, and respect towards one another, ourselves, and the Earth. Our Grateful Gatherings will be held on the first Tuesday of each month in 2024. Gatherings will be in person at Mary & Joseph Retreat Center (check kiosk upon arrival for meeting room) and by Zoom.
