Eat with Social Justice Advocates & Mystics In monasteries around the world, monks and nuns usually have at least one day a week where they listen to sacred readings during their mealtime. We invite you to join us as we integrate this sacred practice in the ordinary act of sharing a meal together. Bring your lunch and listen in silence to sacred readings, podcasts, social justice advocates and mystics. After listening and eating we will reflect with one another on what we heard and how it moves us to contemplation and action. We will begin by listening to short readings by Thomas Merton and the podcasts of James Finley about Merton's work as a contemplative and a social justice advocate. All are welcome!

Facilitated by Rev. Amber Sturgess & Heather Ruce Contemplative wisdom practices have their origins in the ancient world and come down to us through various traditions such as The Rule of St. Benedict, the wisdom teachings of Jesus, and the Fourth Way work of G.I. Gurdjieff. Cynthia Bourgeault says that wisdom work “comes above ground at times when the planet is going through changes or when consciousness is about to take a major leap to a new place, a new level of understanding.” We invite you to join us for the series of Wisdom Days. The contemplative wisdom practices will consist of Centering Prayer, Lectio Divina, wisdom teachings from Cynthia Bourgeault on video, conscious labor (physical work), and sacred dance taught by Heather Ruce. Amber Sturgess is an Episcopal priest, Spiritual Director, and retreat leader. Heather Ruce is a Wisdom Spiritual Director, teacher, and retreat leader. Preregistration required with Rev. Amber prior to January 10, 2025 Remaining sessions: MARCH 22ND: 9:00AM – 1:00PM APRIL 11-12 (2 DAY RETREAT)* MAY 17TH: 9:00AM – 1:00PM JUNE 7TH: 9:00AM – 1:00PM
