featuring Rev. Dr. Stuart Higginbotham
Saturday, December 5 at 9:00am-2:00pm
Tickets $50 | Click here to register
Join us for the next installment of the Journey Series, The Practice of Spiritual Imagination: Stretching our Spiritual Muscles in Uncertain Days.
In a time when so much feels uncertain and anxious, we are called to nurture our spiritual practice even more intentionally. Our practice strengthens our posture so that we can remain grounded while embodying compassion in the world. The key to this strengthening and resilience is spiritual imagination, a curiosity that invites us to pay attention to the living presence of the Spirit.
Come share a day retreat as we nurture our spiritual imaginations with poetry, prayer cards, and practices that feed our souls.
