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.

SUMMARY:WISDOM CIRCLE: Practicing Together the 23rd Psalm
DESCRIPTION:For century upon century people have leaned into this psalm of David in preparation for times of trial and during times of suffering. During WWII\, school children in our country would memorize it and it surely has become an abiding balm for people of faith. \nJoin in our Wisdom Circle as we practice in community this beloved psalm through listening\, devoting each week to one or two verses\, letting them settle in with times of quiet\, optional sharing\, and prayer. Upon leaving\, we are invited to discover and wonder about the times in our week where our verses can be seen. \n  \nPre-registration required. Please register here. \nJOIN ZOOM MEETING: https://zoom.us/j/285967538    \nCALL IN/AUDIO ONLY 301 715 8592 US \n \n  \nRetreat Leader: Heather Strang is a graduate of the Shalem Institute’s Spiritual Guidance Program and is a contemplative small group and retreat facilitator\, spiritual director and culinary director. Heather is active in prayer ministries with St. Anne’s Episcopal Church in Annapolis\, Maryland where she resides with her husband. \n
