SUMMARY:The Well
DESCRIPTION:Gather with us for this online community of prayerful listening to scripture for the upcoming Sunday lectionary readings\, and listening to one another.\n\n\n  \nThis event is brought to you by the department of Lifelong Learning at Virginia Theological Seminary in partnership with The Retreat House. \nThis drop-in Tuesday evening gathering will meet online via Zoom\, from 7:00-8:00 p.m. eastern from Oct 1\, 2024 – Jun 17\, 2025 (with some Tuesdays off – see below.) Register once for the entire season\, regardless of when you can make it! \nThe Well is a time to gather in community online\, as you are able\, to share stories – the stories of scripture and the stories of participants’ own lives. Through time together – in prayer\, in listening\, in open-heartedness – participants are invited to get to know one another. Through prayerful listening to scripture (lectio divina) and authentic sharing\, participants will be drawn closer to each other\, to themselves\, and to God. \nThe Well will be led on Zoom by the spiritual directors of the Retreat House at Hillsboro\, under the coordination of Director Francie Thayer. Although this program occurs weekly\, feel free to treat it as a “drop in”\, attending as often as you are able. We will send weekly reminders with the Zoom link to the unrecorded online meeting\, making it easy to drop in! \n  \n\nFor more info and to register: https://the-well-2024-2025.eventbrite.com \n\nWe will not be meeting the following Tuesdays\, due to holidays\, etc.: \n\n11/26/24\n12/24/24 and 12/31/24\n3/4/25\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \nPhoto by mrjn photography.

SUMMARY:Living the Tension - Holding Opposites Together in Love
DESCRIPTION:Living the Tension – Holding Opposites Together in Love\nFebruary 26 on Zoom\n1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. EST\n  \nWe navigate our external lives around multiple opposites; for example\, early/late\, inside/outside\, fast/slow. In our inner life we tend to hold opposites within a space that considers their significance or impact on our lives; for example\, freedom/constraint\, silence/sound\, enigma/answer. \nThe tension inherent in opposites can be creative or destructive. Hence\, inside tension there is innate power. Only a non-dual mind can reconcile the tension creatively. Race\, politics\, culture and religion are breeding grounds for opposition to become explosive.Therefore\, within the context of our polarized country\, we will ponder these questions: \n  \n  \nHow are we to hold the innate power of tension?  \nWhat are the consequences if we choose to hold the tension in love?  \nHow might we be agents for transforming polarization into reconciliation? \nJoin us as we rest and wonder in the presence of Spirit and spiritual guide Phil Cover. This 2-hour retreat will offer time to listen to Phil’ wisdom\, be lead by his questions and share in silence and conversation with others. \nA Zoom link will be sent to all registrants before the start of the retreat. \nThis event has been funded by a generous donor. Registration is required for planning purposes. Register HERE.

SUMMARY:Gospel of Thomas
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n\nThe Gospel of Thomas\nOctober 1 – November 5\, 2024\n3:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.\nOn Zoom\nGather together as we explore and listen to the Gospel of Thomas. Each week we will prayerfully listen to one of Jesus’ sayings from this ancient source and take time to reflect upon what rises for each of us. \n  \n  \nSuggested donation: $85 Register here: https://tinyurl.com/GOTonZOOM \nAll of our offerings are supported solely by individual donations. This circle is partially sponsored\, allowing us to offer it at a reduced amount. Please share what you feel led to share\, whether less\, or more to support another. Thank you for being part of a community that doesn’t let finances get in the way.  \nWe are grateful for the generous support of a friend of The Retreat House for partially sponsoring this event. \n  \nMore about the source:  The Gospel of Thomas was one of the manuscripts discovered in 1945 when the Nag Hamadi texts were discovered in Egypt. The Gospel of Thomas today is considered by many to be a rich resource for the deepening of a person’s relationship with God and Yeshua. Listening prayerfully to the sayings offers us an experience of Jesus as a wisdom teacher. The Gospel is different from the canonical Gospels of Matthew\, Mark\, Luke and John as Thomas does not offer any type of narrative about the life of Jesus. Instead it contains one hundred and fourteen sayings of Jesus or Yeshua.  Each saying stands alone and offers a great deal of wisdom into the sayings of Jesus and is an invitation to the student of Thomas to go deeper into what is being said.

SUMMARY:The Well - a time to gather in community online
DESCRIPTION:The Well is a time to gather in community online\, as you are able\, to share stories—the stories of scripture and the stories of participants own lives. Through time together—in prayer\, in listening\, in open-heartedness—participants are invited to get to know one another. Through prayerful listening to scripture (lectio divina) and authentic sharing\, participants will be drawn closer to each other\, to themselves\, and to God. \nJoin us for an hour in this wonderful space to nourish your Lenten journey. We will gather on Zoom at 7:45 p.m. EST beginning on Tuesday\, February 20 and continuing until March 26. Simply register here: https://the-well-2024.eventbrite.com. Although this program occurs weekly\, feel free to treat it as a “drop-in\,” attending as often as you are able. This offering is shared gratefully in collaboration with our friends at Lifelong Learning at Virginia Theological Seminary.
