SUMMARY:Conversations About Our Benedictine Life: Work
DESCRIPTION:Deepen your understanding of Benedictine spirituality by joining us for one or more Conversations About Our Benedictine Life: Work. These gatherings offer time for reflection\, for the contemplation of short readings about the nature of work and its place in our lives from the Rule of Benedict and other wise authors\, and the goodness of being part of the shared way of Benedictine life. Benedictine monastic life follows a rhythm of work\, study\, prayer\, and rest; work has a place but is not the whole\, is not the central element – it finds its place in a rhythm of balance that can bring depth and peace to our days. Come listen to Benedict and each other with the ears of your heart; explore the challenges and the gifts of work in our lives. \nThe conversations follow an easy flow of readings and small group conversation in the context of Benedictine practices of statio (silent pauses) and lectio divina (sacred reading – slow and meditative). The gatherings will be between 60 and 90 minutes in length. \nThe registration deadline for each session is the day before the event you wish to attend. \nThese sessions are open to any adult who relates to any of the Holy Wisdom Monastery communities. \nDates/Times\nIn-Person \n\nSunday\, July 19 – 10:30-11:30 am\nSister Lynne Smith and Abbie Loomis\nWednesday\, August 12 – 1:00-2:30 pm\nSister Lynne Smith and Phyllis Lobdell\n\nVirtual (over Zoom; link will be provided after you register) \n\nTuesday\, July 21 – 6:30-8:00 pm CST\nMary Lynn Adams\, Patty Jenkins and Abbie Loomis\nWednesday\, August 5 – 6:30-8:00 pm CST\nMary Lynn Adams\, Patty Jenkins
