SUMMARY:Conversations About Our Benedictine Life: Balance
DESCRIPTION:Deepen your understanding of Benedictine spirituality by joining us for one or more Conversations About Our Benedictine Life: Balance. These gatherings offer time for reflection\, for the contemplation of short readings about balance and moderation from the Rule of Benedict and other wise authors\, and the goodness of being part of the shared way of Benedictine life. The rhythm of Benedictine monastic life – work\, study\, prayer\, rest – is 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 living a life of balance and moderation. \n\nThese sessions are open to any adult who relates to any of the Holy Wisdom Monastery communities.
