SUMMARY:Wisdom Circle: Celtic Practices for Seeking the Sacred
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of Celtic Christianity is the belief that God can be found everywhere\, from the tree outside our window to the cup of tea in ourhands. Using this wisdom we will look at spiritual practices that can aid us in discernment. \nEach gathering will include silence\, scripture or poetry\, journaling and conversation. We will delve deeply into the spiritual practices of crossing thresholds\, blessing each moment\, soul friendship and others as ways to listen for invitations that call us into alignment with the desires God has for us. \nWe will be using Christine Valters Paintner’s book\, The Soul’s Slow Ripening: 12 Celtic Practices for Seeking the Sacred as a guide. It is recommended that each participant purchase this paperback book\, which is easily available from online sellers. \nThis group is open to all who desire a deepening of their spiritual life. \nPLEASE REGISTER BY TUESDAY\, SEPTEMBER 26 \n\nFee:  $75 per person \nAll are welcome regardless of finances\, so please inquire about our scholarships. \nPre-registration is required.\n\nONLINE REGISTRATION:  https://conta.cc/2KOfrbZ    \nMAIL REGISTRATION:  The Retreat House\, P. O. Box 3\, Hillsboro MD 21641\, indicate “Centreville.” \nEMAIL: info@retreathousehillsboro.org

SUMMARY:Wisdom Circles: At the Water's Edge: The Sacred Space of Transition
DESCRIPTION:Our lives are punctuated by times of transition.  Often we want to rush through these changes to get to the ‘other side’\, wherever that is. We don’t want to linger in letting go of what has been while we race toward the next chapter because that might slow us down. We resist the in-between time\, which can make us feel ungrounded and lost. \nWhat if these unsettling movements through transition are the sacred spaces that restore us to ourselves\, and form us for the next part of the journey?  Whatever transition you are experiencing right now the Spirit is on the move with you. Your work at this time is holy work in sacred space. \nUsing the metaphor of crossing a river\, this wisdom circle will explore the sacred spaces of your own transitions. We begin at the edge\, move into the shallows\, get into deep water and then emerge on the far shore. We’ll begin with contemplative practice and share our experiences with each other. \nWe’ll leave each session with a practice to go deeper in our explorations. E-mail meditations will be sent the Saturday before each session. \nPLEASE REGISTER BY MONDAY\, SEPTEMBER 9 \n\nFee:  $75 per person \nAll are welcome regardless of finances\, so please inquire about our scholarships. \nPre-registration is required.\n\n  \nONLINE REGISTRATION:  https://conta.cc/2KOfrbZ    \nMAIL REGISTRATION:  The Retreat House\, P. O. Box 3\, Hillsboro MD 21641\, indicate “CHESTERTOWN” \nEMAIL: info@retreathousehillsboro.org
