Oblate retreat (open to the public)

Beholding Beauty: The Art of the Benedictine Heart of God
Facilitated by Gabriele Uhlein, OSF, Ph.D.

Beauty lures us, holds us and humbles us. The beautiful Heart of God empowers us, transforms us and allows us to be present without exception, in every place and for all time. Come and experience what a Franciscan discovered about the beautiful, Benedictine heart of God. See what is emerging in the contemporary church as the beauty of oblate commitment comes into full flower in the Age of the Laity.

Gabriele Uhlein, OSF, Ph.D.
Franciscan, psychologist, theologian and artist, Sister Gabriele has dedicated over 30 years to spiritual deepening and sustainable human evolution in an earth-aware context. Sister Gabriele has served as a province councilor as well as vocation and formation director in her own Franciscan community. She trained in both process theology and Jungian-oriented depth psychology, and completed her Ph.D. work in these two disciplines at the Chicago Theological Seminary.

Sister Gabriele is an evocative presenter and facilitator. Known especially for her refreshingly practical spiritual perspectives, her work ranges from contemplative deepening sessions to comprehensive mutual inquiry into on-going communal transformation. Gabriele’s sessions are most often conversational, and offer an engaging blend of words, images and practice. She currently lives and works at the Christine Center in Willard, Wisconsin—a natural sanctuary for spiritual deepening and global transformation.
