Text Box: A Contemplative Journey

Text Box:  Come journey with others who are serious about their contemplative walk for eight Saturdays.   The day will begin at 9:00am and end at 4:00pm. Stay over night the night before or the day of for more quiet and prayer time.  Some of the materials that will be used will be “Bridges to Contemplation Living” with Thomas Merton. Slow down and share insights with others on how to be a contemplative in today’s world.           Dates:       September 20, 2008                         October 18, 2008                        November 21 - 22, 2008                           We will be exploring some of the key principals from Merton’s thought: · Our everyday life is our spiritual life. · It is every person’s primary vocation to be full human. · Our spiritual formation cannot take place in isolation. · Spiritual formation is grounded in the experience of relationships and community. · Personal transformation is the foundation for societal and cultural transformation.
