SUMMARY:Cherished Belonging - the divine feminine in our world
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this online book circle exploring the power of love in our divided world.  \nAs we explore Greg Boyle’s latest collection of stories about living and working with the community of Home Boy Industries in Los Angeles\, we will listen contemplatively for the invitations that are for us as individuals navigating our world. What lens do we wear when standing with others who are so very different from us? \nWe will consider notions such as radical inclusion\, finding grace in human brokenness\, and living on the margins of society. Each week we will explore the perspectives and ways of being that play a role in fostering true\, inclusive community. We will listen deeply to the healing shared both in the stories\, and our very own  personal prejudices and exclusionary labels. Each week\, we will enjoy readings from the mystics and the divine feminine scriptures reflected in Greg Boyle’s ministry.\n\n  \n  \n  \nREGISTER HERE:  \nhttps://tinyurl.com/LOVEintheWORLD \nWe will meet for nine weeks\, with a one week break on 10/13. We will send the Zoom link prior to our first session. \nPlease find the book at your library\, favorite bookstore\,  or purchase it online.\n  \nAmazon: \nhttps://www.amazon.com/Cherished-Belonging-Healing-Power-Divided/dp/1668061856/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=185691645065&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.URRtsTxXuUSUILHIxot0TmhyK30uJtNmR-33Td4l_WFvcxm2TlpdBZrvX2uNRbarSrEAKyFqWL6l37pl3nli5q3Zv1JR5SEEbrBWbekCqY515NR0Kyw3nr1PuzK_-fV9.SOraglBS4xNNY6pCIgDaj0G7OqeuZtPJa6h4KpnYdtc&dib_tag=se&hvadid=779507490234&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9007941&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=15547091611725353053–&hvqmt=e&hvrand=15547091611725353053&hvtargid=kwd-2334179606829&hydadcr=17780_13794532_2332342&keywords=cherished+belonging&mcid=a5ec92a846853b09be0543c78033dece&qid=17 \n83609750&sr=8-

SUMMARY:Gospel of Thomas
DESCRIPTION:The Gospel of Thomas\n\nWednesdays \nSeptember 16  –  December 9\n3:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.\nOn Zoom\n\nGather together as we explore and listen to the Gospel of Thomas.\nEach 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 for this 12 week series: $95 \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. \nRegister here: \n\nhttps://tinyurl.com/THOMASfall26\n\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.
