It is all woven together into a tapestry of reflections, readings, art, poetry, prayer and quiet meditation for enriching one’s spiritual life. ‘…offers us a space to live gratefully in the presence of God…the space in which we…can listen fearlessly to God’s voice.’ (Nouwen) The group meets on Wednesday’s from 10:00 a.m. to noon beginning in the fall. It is facilitated by Laurie Powell.
