SUMMARY:Being the Beloved: A Winter Weekend Women’s Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Being the Beloved: A Winter Weekend Women’s Retreat\nFriday\, February 21  –  Sunday\, February 23\, 2025\nHosted by The Retreat House\nAt the Foehliage Retreat Center in Galena\, MD\nGuided by Linda Mastro\n  \nJesus said\, “Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.  \nThis is the most important\, the first on the list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s law and the Prophets hangs from them.”  \nMatthew 22:34-40 (The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language) \n  \nPraying with the greatest commandments\, we often focus on the love of God and neighbor. Despite our best intentions\, we can easily overlook that Jesus included us in this equation of love. Loving ourselves requires that we remember that we are the beloved children of God. We may have been programmed to judge ourselves harshly and to downplay our worth. These standards\, designed to keep us humble\, also undermine accepting our divine goodness. How on earth can we truly extend love to others if we do not stand on a firm foundation of love for ourselves? \nIn his classic book\, Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World\, Henri Nouwen\, Catholic priest\, professor\, psychologist\, and prolific writer\, says\, “As long as ‘being the Beloved’ is little more than a beautiful thought or a lofty idea that hangs above my life to keep me from becoming depressed\, nothing really changes. What is required is to become the Beloved in the commonplaces of my daily existence\, and bit by bit to close the gap that exists between what I know myself to be and the countless realities of everyday life. Becoming the Beloved is pulling the truth revealed to me from above down into the ordinariness of what I am thinking of\, talking about\, and doing from hour to hour.” \nIn this retreat\, we will explore what it means to embrace our Belovedness. Together we will reconsider self-care as an act of love that can transform our relationships in all domains of life. The retreat will include time for silent rest and reflection\, heart-enriching conversation\, and mindful prayer and movement. You will take home practices that will inspire you to live each day more fully into your one\, precious life. \nThe retreat begins with dinner on Friday evening and ends with a prayer service and brunch on Sunday. The cost of the retreat includes five nutritious meals\, lodging\, and all materials. \n  \nRegister here: https://tinyurl.com/WINTERBELOVED \n

SUMMARY:Finding Hope in the Journey of Dementia\, with Dorothy Linthicum
DESCRIPTION:St. Anne’s Parish House Library\nAnnapolis\, Maryland \nThursday\, April 18: 10:30 a.m. – noon\, Tea and Conversation\n  \n  \nWe gratefully offer this conversation in collaboration with St. Anne’s\, Annapolis. Join us with Dorothy Linthicum and explore notions of prevention\, the basics of a diagnosis\, and the hope found in possibilities. Whether you are a family or community member\, a caregiver\, or a pastoral leader\, this topic is universally vulnerable. How can we help one another face the diagnosis of dementia in our families\, among friends\, or in ourselves? \nBrené Brown writes: “Vulnerability is the birthplace of love\, belonging\, joy\, courage\, empathy\, and creativity. It is the source of hope\, empathy\, accountability\, and authenticity.” Let us be reminded of the power of vulnerability\, not to be avoided\, but embraced\, and in embracing taking a first step toward easing our fears. \nWe will explore how the self is never destroyed despite the severity of a disease or condition\, an understanding that comes from many fields\, including psychology\, neurology\, psychiatry\, philosophy\, and spirituality\, among others. Dorothy is co-author\, along with Janice Hicks\, of Redeeming Dementia: Spirituality\, Theology\, and Science. Bring all of your questions\, whether you are family members seeking to learn more\, caretakers exploring practices\, or pastoral leaders meeting community members where they are in their journey. \nPlease register here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/t5usxtz\n\nVisit our website calendar for information on three other locations:\nChestertown\, Maryland – Tuesday\, April 16: 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.\, Lunch and Conversation\, Emmanuel Church\, ($35) \nChestertown\, Maryland – Tuesday\, April 16: 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. (free)\, Tea and Conversation\, Upper Shore Aging: Amy Lynn Ferris Adult Activity Center \nOxford\, Maryland – Wednesday\, April 17: 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.\, Lunch and Conversation\, Church of the Holy Trinity ($35)
