Reflect, Rest and Renew!
Come and celebrate your spiritual journey as Fr. Jim Clarke leads a full day retreat in three parts: celebrating where we came from, allowing ourselves to rest & discern where we are going. With story, ritual and journaling, Fr Jim guides and encourages us to honor our journey of faith and struggle, take a gentle look at just how do we rest, how does Sabbath fit in our busy lives -and imagine and renew a vision for our way forward. Fr. Jim Clarke PhD is presently a consultant for the Spiritual & Human Formation for the Permanent Diaconate candidates and their wives for the Los Angeles Archdiocese.
Nature of Recovery & Recovery in Nature
Nature of Recovery & Recovery in Nature
This seminar will explore the nature of the Recovery process, the core elements of Recovery, and nature as a tool in recovery. Recovery can be from addiction, mental illness, or other afflictions. The core elements will be explored, how they might relate to the 12 steps, the nutrient cycle, and permaculture. Psychoeducation, art & discussion, journaling exercises, and spiritual meditation, will help strengthen the Recovery process.
