SUMMARY:Sacred Ground: July-Sept. series
DESCRIPTION:A film-based dialogue series on race and faith\nThe Retreat House invites you to participate in Sacred Ground\, an experience of reading\, watching and learning about the history of race and racism in America and the impact it has on our world today. \nOn six Monday afternoons\, we will explore a rich online curriculum focused on Indigenous\, Black\, Latino and Asian Pacific American as their histories intersect with European American history. Each week\, we will be given documentaries to watch and articles to read to help inform and enlighten us. We then gather on Zoom for conversation to help us peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day—all while grounded in our call to faith\, hope and love. \nLearning about the origins of the inequities and injustices so deeply embedded in our lives today will provide valuable insight into the deep anger that fuels the protests happening across the country. \nThis amazing series\, developed by The Episcopal Church and Katrina Browne\, director of the documentary Traces of the Trade\, has been especially designed to help white people engage in conversation about the history of race in America. The series is part of The Episcopal Church’s Becoming Beloved Community which is the church’s long-term commitment to racial healing\, reconciliation and justice. \nRegistration is required at https://bit.ly/SacredReg\, or by email to info@retreathousehillsboro.org. A suggested donation of $50 per person is requested. All are welcome to attend regardless of finances.

SUMMARY:Wisdom Circle: Prayerful Listening for Spiritual Guidance
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION CLOSED\nWISDOM CIRCLE: Prayerful Listening for Spiritual Guidance\nWednesdays\, September 16\, 23\, 30 and October 7\, 2020\n7:00 – 8:30 p.m.\n“… the Spirit of Truth is at work in the depths of our hearts –\nhelping\, searching\, knowing\, and interceding.\n[Prayerful listening] is an invitation to bend a prayerful\, listening ear\ntoward that Spirit who is with us always.”\n– L.A. Lindbloom\, “Prayerful Listening: Cultivating Discernment in Community” \n  \nA Wisdom Circle is a group of 8-12 people who gather to learn\, tell stories\, listen and pray about a particular subject. Within the circle\, we practice a way of being that connects us in spirit while drawing us within for a deeper experience. \n  \n“… the Spirit of Truth is at work in the depths of our hearts – helping\, searching\, knowing\, and interceding. [Prayerful listening] is an invitation to bend a prayerful\, listening ear toward that Spirit who is with us always.” – L.A. Lindbloom\, “Prayerful Listening: Cultivating Discernment in Community” \n  \nThe practice of spiritual guidance has many names: spiritual direction\, prayerful listening\, sacred listening\, or spiritual companionship. In this Wisdom Circle we will learn how to seek and accept spiritual guidance by combining silence\, prayerful listening and open-hearted response. \nIn social conversation\, the usual pattern is a give-and-take of ideas and perspectives. In a prayerful listening group\, there is an ebb and flow of words and silence. It is within the silence that the Holy Spirit whispers\, inspiring us to respond for the sake of the one who has spoken. \nDuring our sessions\, we will practice the three essential parts of prayerful listening that take place when a group gathers for spiritual guidance: \n\nPray silently\, and listen for how God speaks to us.\nListen attentively as others seek discernment for a specific situation.\nPray on behalf of another and respond prayerfully to that person.\n\nIn the last session we will bring together all three practices for the full experience of a prayerful listening group. We ask that you attend all four sessions. Come on your own\, bring a partner\, or join with a few friends. People of all faith traditions and spiritual experiences are welcome. \nAt the end of this program participants will have an opportunity to join a spiritual guidance group or to arrange for individual spiritual guidance from one of the Retreat House spiritual directors.* \nREGISTER ONLINE at https://bit.ly/rhlistenreg \, or by email to info@retreathousehillsboro.org. Once you register for the series of four sessions\, you will receive the Zoom link. Payments can be made with online registration or by check mailed to the address below. As always\, everyone is welcome to attend\, regardless of finances. \n  \nAbout the Wisdom Circle leader: Linda Mastro will lead the main session of The Wisdom Circle\, with smaller breakout groups facilitated by the spiritual directors* of The Retreat House. Linda is a spiritual pilgrim\, life coach and spiritual director trained through the Bon Secours Retreat and Conference Center in Marriottsville\, Maryland. Learn more about Linda and her practice at livingpilgrimage.com. \n*A list of Retreat House spiritual directors can be found at retreathousehillsboro.org/meditation-and-reflection/

SUMMARY:Sacred Ground: July-Sept. series
DESCRIPTION:A film-based dialogue series on race and faith\nThe Retreat House invites you to participate in Sacred Ground\, an experience of reading\, watching and learning about the history of race and racism in America and the impact it has on our world today. \nOn six Monday afternoons\, we will explore a rich online curriculum focused on Indigenous\, Black\, Latino and Asian Pacific American as their histories intersect with European American history. Each week\, we will be given documentaries to watch and articles to read to help inform and enlighten us. We then gather on Zoom for conversation to help us peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day—all while grounded in our call to faith\, hope and love. \nLearning about the origins of the inequities and injustices so deeply embedded in our lives today will provide valuable insight into the deep anger that fuels the protests happening across the country. \nThis amazing series\, developed by The Episcopal Church and Katrina Browne\, director of the documentary Traces of the Trade\, has been especially designed to help white people engage in conversation about the history of race in America. The series is part of The Episcopal Church’s Becoming Beloved Community which is the church’s long-term commitment to racial healing\, reconciliation and justice. \nRegistration is required at https://bit.ly/SacredReg\, or by email to info@retreathousehillsboro.org. A suggested donation of $50 per person is requested. All are welcome to attend regardless of finances.

DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION CLOSED\nWISDOM CIRCLE: Prayerful Listening for Spiritual Guidance\nWednesdays\, September 16\, 23\, 30 and October 7\, 2020\n7:00 – 8:30 p.m.\n“… the Spirit of Truth is at work in the depths of our hearts –\nhelping\, searching\, knowing\, and interceding.\n[Prayerful listening] is an invitation to bend a prayerful\, listening ear\ntoward that Spirit who is with us always.”\n– L.A. Lindbloom\, “Prayerful Listening: Cultivating Discernment in Community” \n  \nA Wisdom Circle is a group of 8-12 people who gather to learn\, tell stories\, listen and pray about a particular subject. Within the circle\, we practice a way of being that connects us in spirit while drawing us within for a deeper experience. \n  \n“… the Spirit of Truth is at work in the depths of our hearts – helping\, searching\, knowing\, and interceding. [Prayerful listening] is an invitation to bend a prayerful\, listening ear toward that Spirit who is with us always.” – L.A. Lindbloom\, “Prayerful Listening: Cultivating Discernment in Community” \n  \nThe practice of spiritual guidance has many names: spiritual direction\, prayerful listening\, sacred listening\, or spiritual companionship. In this Wisdom Circle we will learn how to seek and accept spiritual guidance by combining silence\, prayerful listening and open-hearted response. \nIn social conversation\, the usual pattern is a give-and-take of ideas and perspectives. In a prayerful listening group\, there is an ebb and flow of words and silence. It is within the silence that the Holy Spirit whispers\, inspiring us to respond for the sake of the one who has spoken. \nDuring our sessions\, we will practice the three essential parts of prayerful listening that take place when a group gathers for spiritual guidance: \n\nPray silently\, and listen for how God speaks to us.\nListen attentively as others seek discernment for a specific situation.\nPray on behalf of another and respond prayerfully to that person.\n\nIn the last session we will bring together all three practices for the full experience of a prayerful listening group. We ask that you attend all four sessions. Come on your own\, bring a partner\, or join with a few friends. People of all faith traditions and spiritual experiences are welcome. \nAt the end of this program participants will have an opportunity to join a spiritual guidance group or to arrange for individual spiritual guidance from one of the Retreat House spiritual directors.* \nREGISTER ONLINE at https://bit.ly/rhlistenreg \, or by email to info@retreathousehillsboro.org.
