SUMMARY:Soul Searching: Stories of Faith with Porter Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Four Tuesdays \nJanuary 31 – February 21  \n1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. \non Zoom\nWhen people asked Jesus hard questions\, he told them a story. Stories are a principal way we can grasp the parts of our lives that are mystery. The writer John Shea wrote— “We turn our pain into narrative so we can bear it. We turn our ecstasy into narrative so we can prolong it. We tell our stories to live.” \nThe objective of this course is to see what story has to tell us about our own journey of faith. We will use a text of autobiographical narratives: Searching for Your Soul: Writers of Many Faiths  \nShare Their Personal Stories of Spiritual Discovery\, edited by Katherine Kurs. I like the wide range of religious backgrounds and orientations in this book because the variety enables us to see our own story more clearly. The primary task is to let the stories and poems sink into your mind and heart so that they can enable you to rediscover the depths of your own story. The poems for each week and an outline will be emailed. Thank you for being part of this.  \nREGISTER HERE:  https://tinyurl.com/SoulSearchingStoriesofFaith. A suggested donation of $75 will be gratefully accepted. Please don’t let finances keep you from attending! Searching for Your Soul is encouraged for this series and can be purchased here.

SUMMARY:Advent Quiet Morning
DESCRIPTION:    \n with Heather Strang \nWalking through our Story\nThursday  \nDecember 8\, 2022  \n 9:30 am –  \n12:00 pm  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWe will gather for this quiet morning and listen to our story. We will begin with time to connect and sip a cup of coffee or tea before enjoying a reading to frame our morning. Then we’ll each find a space at The Retreat House to listen to our Christmas story. Led by the peaceful voice of our friend The Rev. Dina Widlake\, we will follow her recorded storytelling from scripture in nine separate stations. Either follow amid the mature trees on the grounds\, or find a soft place to land in the house or in St. Paul’s Church. Throughout our pilgrimage of story\, we will have time to ponder questions\, to reflect and to journal.  \n  \nPlease register for this free offering to receive the link for listening to the Christmas story. If you are not able to join us in-person on this day\, listen where you are and any time that works for you.  \n  \nRegister at https://tinyurl.com/QuietAdvent or heather@retreathousehillsboro.org. This gathering will take place inside and outside the Retreat House\, weather permitting. We will practice covid-safe protocols and ask that participants be fully vaccinated; masks are optional.  A suggested donation of $25 per person will be gratefully accepted to support our practice of welcoming all\, not letting finances keep anyone from attending.  \nABOUT THE RETREAT LEADER: Heather Strang is a graduate of the Shalem Institute Spiritual Guidance Program (https://shalem.org)\, a contemplative small group facilitator and member of the Retreat House staff. Heather is active in the healing prayer ministry with St. Anne’s Episcopal Church. She is the parent of two young men and resides with her husband in Annapolis\, Maryland.

SUMMARY:Second Saturday
DESCRIPTION: \n\nJoin us as we meet the unexpected in the unfolding day.\n\nWe’re looking forward to quiet mornings this fall at The Retreat House – strolling under the statuesque trees\, walking the labyrinth\, and simply being present as we notice nature’s transformation around us. When the air chills\, we’ll light the fire.\n\nThe Sacristy Book Shop will be open. Come\, sip a cup of tea\, and peruse our books. On this day\, we’ll have a table for those drawn to the gentle process of crafting from found objects: October is a wonderful time for gathering leaves for autumn mandala making; November invites sharing gratitude cards\, and\, December is our season for Gathering of the Greens on the Retreat House grounds.\n\nWe’ll close our fall days with a Celtic Prayer Gathering at 12 noon. All are welcome to bring a bag lunch for the close of the day.
