A virtual concert presented by Benet House Retreat Center
Sunday, June 27th, 2:00 - 3:30 PM CST via Zoom
After a long and challenging year with the pandemic, Sr. Bobbi invites you to join her for an inspiring and uplifting gathering featuring musician Karen Drucker. Karen’s music has inspired Sr. Bobbi in her work with Boundless Compassion and has been a source of encouragement for many who have experienced suffering in their own life or that of others. 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.
