SUMMARY:Advent: To Seek and to Save the Lost (in-person)
DESCRIPTION:The Advent season returns us to the incarnation of the Christ-spirit and its power to restore us in hope and renew us in purpose. This series takes its starting point from the Gospel of Luke where Jesus says he has come “to seek and to save the lost.” Sometimes the language of saving doesn’t always set easily with us. Nor does the suggestion that we are somehow lost! Yet\, in setting aside time to listen with the ear of our hearts to Jesus\, to Luke\, to each other and to our own inner longings – we may find ourselves newly inspired by the Christ-spirit\, who speaks what we most need to hear and promises to preserve us in love. \n90-minute sessions will include some teaching\, small group discussion\, contemplative dialogue\, and a time for meditation. \nDates/times\nThis three-week Advent series will be offered in-person on Tuesdays from 10:00-11:30 am or virtually on Wednesdays from 6:30-8:00 pm. \nIn-person (Tuesdays\, 10:00-11:30 am)\n\nDec 3\nDec 10\nDec 17\n\nVirtually (Wednesdays\, 6:30-8:00 pm)\n\nDec. 4\nDec. 11\nDec. 18\n\nSpeaker – Pam Shellberg\n\nPam Shellberg is the director of spiritual nourishment at Holy Wisdom monastery\, a contemplative\, a student of the Christian scriptures and a spiritual director. \nCost\n$35/person \n  \nRegister\nPlease register by Dec. 2\, 2024.

In 2016 he began the Earth & Soul initiative and teaches regularly in the United States and Canada as well as leading international pilgrimage weeks on Iona in the Western Isles of Scotland. \nHis PhD is from the University of Edinburgh and he has authored over 15 books\, including his latest award-winning publication\, Sacred Earth Sacred Soul\, which was the 2022 Gold Winner of the Nautilus Book Award for Spirituality and Religious Thought of the West. His forthcoming book (August 2024)\, also with Harper One\, is The Great Search\, in which he looks at the great spiritual yearnings of humanity today in the context of the decline of religion as we have known it.  \nNewell speaks of himself as ‘a wandering teacher’ following the ancient path of many lone teachers before him in the Celtic tradition\, seeking the wellbeing of the world. He has been described as having ‘the heart of a Celtic bard and the mind of a Celtic scholar’\, combining in his teachings the poetic and the intellectual\, the head as well as the heart\, and spiritual awareness as well as political and ecological concern. \nCami Twilling\, based in Colorado\, is the Director of Earth & Soul (a Celtic initiative of study\, spiritual practice and compassionate action inspired by the teachings of John Philip Newell). As well as heading up the overall work of Earth & Soul\, she facilitates the spiritual practice component of the Earth & Soul Annual Retreats. In addition to leading mountain and urban retreats\, she has led international pilgrimage groups to Iona in the Western Isles of Scotland and work teams to Guatemala to build houses in communities that have suffered from political strife and economic hardship. Cami is passionate about the relationship between spirituality and action and believes that spiritual vision and practice can play a vital role in helping to heal and transform our lives both individually and together. \nView 2023 Photos\n\nRegister\nPlease register by May 1\, 2024. \nThere is a 75% refund for cancellations until May 1\, and a 50% refund for cancellations after May 1 until May 9\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Go Without Hesitation: Lent Series (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Go Without Hesitation: Lent Series with Pam Shellberg (online)\nThis online series is full. There is still room in the in-person series on Tuesdays from 10:00-11:30 am. Register below. \nJoin us for a 5-week study of a gripping tale from the New Testament book of Acts where Peter\, Jesus’ disciple\, and Cornelius\, a Roman centurion\, present us with a historical diorama of conflicts mirroring back to us how perceiving God’s will and knowing how to respond is rarely straightforward. \nThe story guides us in the ways of discerning God’s purposes\, asking us to bravely sit with questions we might have about God’s purposes and our faith commitments in the midst of change and transition. \nIt marks out ways that we can\, together\, discern truth in our doubts and confusions and hear God’s wisdom in our more vulnerable times. The Spirit directs Peter – and us – to go without hesitation! And so\, we will go\, unhesitatingly\, to live and love in the power and promise of the Holy One. \nWe’ll meet one time per week (Tuesday mornings in-person or Wednesday evenings via Zoom). The sessions will be part study\, part small group sharing and reflection and part lectio divina and contemplation. \nSchedule\n\n6:30 – 8:00 pm for the virtual session on Wednesday nights via Zoom\n\nLeader\nPam Shellberg is the director of spiritual nourishment at Holy Wisdom Monastery. She is presenting this event because: \n\nIt is a good story for times of change and transition when God’s purposes are not so clear and when doubts\, confusions\, vulnerabilities cast shadows across one’s faith commitments.\nBible study is part of the balance of Benedictine life.\nLent is a season of preparation for new life in Christ\, and it is well for us to turn to sacred texts to examine the unexpected paths to that new life\, challenges and demands.\nPam has been an assistant professor of New Testament and eager share from her learning and experience.\n\nDates/times\n\nWednesdays\, 6:30-8:00 pm on Zoom\nFeb. 21\, 28; March 6\, 13\, 20\n\nCost\n$25/person \nRegister\nPlease register by Wed.\, Feb. 14\, 2024. The capacity for this series is 40 people and registration will close when we reach 40 people. There is no refund for cancellations. \nRegister for the in-person (Tuesdays\, 10:00-11:30 am) series below. \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Advent Series: The Word Dwells In Us
DESCRIPTION:In Advent we anticipate – with hope\, ache and longing – some refreshed or renewed experience of divine presence in our hearts\, in our lives. It is a time when we return to scripture’s birth stories of Jesus because they have a ‘thin place’ quality to them. We return to the beginning when the promise of divine presence seems strongest\, brightest\, purest. We start at the beginning so that we might also begin again. \nThis season we turn to the beginning verses of John’s Gospel – a ‘birth narrative’ of a very different sort. We find neither Mary nor Joseph\, no shepherds or stars\, no angelic chorus – we don’t even find a baby Jesus! Instead\, we find the promise of life in a beautiful\, lyrical hymn to the incarnation of God in us. \nJoin us for a three session Advent meditation on the opening verses of John’s gospel. This will be a Zoom offering\, held on Wednesday evenings in Advent\, December 6\, 13 and 20\, from 6:30-8:00 pm. Pam Shellberg\, director of spiritual nourishment at monastery\, will facilitate the series. \nCost\n$25/person for the 3-session series. \nRegistration\nRegistration closed\, Friday\, December 1\, 2023. There is no refund in case of a cancellation.
