This afternoon retreat will provide contemplative music and thoughtful reflection on compassion in its various aspects i.e. compassion to self, compassion for creation and more. Enjoy music to lead you into stillness and to enhance your interaction with other individuals who value being a compassionate presence in our world.

6-Week Series, meets weekly on Thursdays: August 13th, 20th, and 27th, September 3rd, 10th, and 17th
This 6-week series will examine how works of art interpreted and promoted the spiritual teachings of saints Hildegard of Bingen, Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Ávila, and Thérèse of Lisieux. We will explore historical influences on female devotional experiences and discuss how artistic representations integrated the unique visions of these four female saints into broader Christian narratives.
Using Diane Millis’ book Re-Creating A Life, Learning How To Tell Our Most Life-Giving Story, you will discover the power of narrative storytelling in shaping how we perceive ourselves, and how we are perceived by others.
