Community Circles and Retreats

Living the Tension:

Holding Opposites Together in Love

with Phil Cover

February 26

1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

on Zoom

We all experience tension in our lives, with an added energy for that in this new and current paradigm. How do we live well with that intensified tension?

Join us as we rest and wonder in the presence of Spirit and spiritual guide Phil Cover. This 2-hour retreat will offer time to listen to Phil' wisdom, be lead by his questions and share in silence and conversation with others. Discover a more fulsome "teasing out" of Phil's wonderings and register: HERE.

The Gospel of Thomas

Tuesdays

February 25 - April 15

3:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. EST

On Zoom

Gather together as we explore and listen to the Gospel of Thomas. Each week we will prayerfully listen to one of Jesus’ sayings from this ancient source and take time to reflect upon what rises for each of us. Learn more and register (HERE)

Mary Magdalene:

telling her story,

telling our story

plumbing the depths of the Christianity

we haven't tried yet

Wednesdays

February 26 - April 16

5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. EST

on Zoom

With the help of the Gospel of Mary and Meggan Watterson’s book Mary Magdalene Revealed: The First Apostle, Her Feminist Gospel, & the Christianity We Haven’t Tried Yet, we will dive into the depths of the earliest days of Christianity, known as "The Way." With both contemplative listening and conversation, discover with us in community: What would it look like if we truly followed the way of Jesus without hierarchy and power? How would our engagement with the Holy be different? How would prayer be different?
