Group Spiritual Accompaniment
Are you looking for nourishment in these dark times?
Journey through winter and spring with a small group of spiritual explorers. Slow down and become aware of how Spirit (however you name this great mystery) is working in your life and the lives of others. Each session will include a contemplative opening (poetry, music, meditation, etc.), times of silence and times of sharing. The group will serve as a safe container of deep listening.
Christmas Presence: A Morning of Reflection and Connection
Friday, December 5, Chicago, Illinois
Are you longing for inner stillness and authentic connection this holiday season?
During our time together, we will engage in contemplative practice, individual reflection, and group sharing as we connect with the Presence (however you name this great mystery) that is always present within us and around us.
St. Brigid's in the House
A Zoom Series offered through Siena Retreat Center
Who is this woman who has a bank holiday in Ireland, a mural in Kildare, and pilgrims flocking to connect with her?
During our time together, we will explore Brigid’s example of care for creation, peace, compassion and justice, hospitality and contemplation. We will reflect on the question: How am I being invited to live from a more expansive vision?
