Design for Living: Awakening

Jo B. & Herb K. CA, United States

DESIGN FOR LIVING: AWAKENING is our focus. We will discuss, explore, and experience the application of 12 Steps in our daily lives. These are practical suggestions that can open our hearts and minds to review our approach to living our life! Our suffering is the “great persuader”. When we are disturbed what can we do? Is what you are doing not working? Does your daily program need support and to be re-freshed?
This workshop will explore the practice of daily inventory and meditation as effective means of expanding our AWAKENING. We will unpack the practical use of both to foster our own personal Transformation, sustaining Emotional balance and Spiritual vitality. This path of expanding consciousness produces optimal living. When we have a meaningful connection beyond ourselves and live a life of awareness - we discover our life’s purpose. We will discuss our WAY of LIVING as our practical PRACTICE for a life that flourishes!

The Gift of Enough

Rev. Terry Hershey

Join Terry Hershey as he invites us to remember, accept, and appreciate the gift of “enough”. There is power in the word, enough – when just our presence in the moment can be a gift to ourselves and others. Then we can recognize and celebrate the sacrament of the present moment, knowing that the ordinary can be the hiding place for the holy. We carry the capacity to honor the present into every encounter and relationship, meaning that we honor the dignity that is reflected by God’s goodness and grace. Every encounter, every relationship, is a place to include, invite mercy, encourage, receive, heal, reconcile, repair, say thank you, pray, celebrate, refuel, and restore. We all need a time and a place that allows us—gives us permission—to pause and embrace the gift of enough, befriend our own heart, and be at home in our own skin. Terry invites us to gather and reflect on the ”enough” in our own lives, let our own light brighten the world a bit & make a difference.

Begin with the Heart

Fr. Pat Crowley, SSCC

Weekend Healing Retreat ~ The following prayer taken from John Kirvan's Silent Hope expresses very simply the essence of this retreat: "You who are beyond mystery hear my prayer. Let wonder loose in my soul. Let hope begin. Unwrap the mystery of your presence for without it, without you, I am living half a life. Without wonder, without hope my life is not, will not be worth living." The Retreat is an opportunity to allow the heart to be touched through the power of God's healing love. It offers times for quiet reflection and prayer, personal ministry, and daily celebration of the Eucharist. The sacrament of reconciliation will also be available for those wishing to avail themselves of the sacrament. There will be a general healing service on Saturday evening in the Chapel for all those wishing to attend.
