SUMMARY:Celtic Spirituality: Sacred Earth\, Sacred Soul
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 1\, 202510:00am – 12:00pm CT\, Zoom \nRenowned spiritual teacher John Philip Newell will outline the main themes of his award-winning book Sacred Earth Sacred Soul: Celtic Wisdom for Reawakening to What Our Souls Know and Healing the World (Harper One). Newell calls us to be aware of the sacredness of Earth and every human being as key to the way of transformation and healing in our lives and world. \nJohn Philip Newell is a Celtic teacher and author of spirituality who calls the modern world to reawaken to the sacredness of Earth and every human being. Canadian by birth\, and a citizen also of Scotland\, he resides with his family in Edinburgh and works on both sides of the Atlantic. In 2016 he began the Earth & Soul initiative and leads international pilgrimage weeks on Iona in the Western Isles of Scotland. His PhD is from the University of Edinburgh and he has authored over fifteen books\, including Sacred Earth Sacred Soul\, which was the 2022 Gold Winner of the Nautilus Book Award for Spirituality and Religious Thought of the West. His latest book is The Great Search\, in which he looks at the great spiritual yearnings of humanity today in the context of the decline of religion. Newell speaks of himself as ‘a wandering teacher’ following the ancient path of many lone teachers before him in the Celtic tradition\, seeking the wellbeing of the world.

SUMMARY:Writing for the Soul as a Spiritual Practice
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 19\, 202410:00am – 12:00pm CT\, Zoom \nThe poet Mary Oliver wrote that when we “ …patch a few words together\,” we might open “…a doorway into thanks\, and a silence in which another voice may speak.” Come patch some words together in company with others as a spiritual practice for the soul. Taking inspiration from poetry\, images\, objects\, and more\, we’ll play and pray on the page. We’ll have the choice to read and share in small groups\, responding as supportive witnesses to one another’s words. No writing experience is necessary (and grammar and spelling don’t count!) \nJulie Hester is a writer and pastor living in North Carolina. Over 20 years ago\, she walked into a one-day writing workshop for bereaved mothers and found a way to use writing as a practice for healing. As a certified facilitator with Amherst Writers & Artists\, she leads in-person and online writing workshops for faith and community groups\, specializing in writing for healing and writing as a spiritual practice. You can find her at juliehester.com and subscribe to her writing prompts at WritingInCompany.substack.com.

SUMMARY:Welcoming Feelings as Messengers from God
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 24\, 202410:00am – 12:00pm \nEpiscopal Church of the Transfiguration14115 Hillcrest RoadDallas\, TX 75254 \nThe role feelings play in our lives should not be underestimated. Too often\, they are ignored or acted upon without any awareness of their impact. In this presentation\, we will investigate the messages received about feelings and seek a deeper understanding of and appreciation for their power. We will discover how feelings affect our lives using images from ancient and popular sources. We’ll explore how feelings can be messages from God to provide knowledge about our inner lives and\, through prayer and reflection\, guide us. We will process the information presented in interactive and creative ways. \nEunice Cheshire is a member of the founding faculty of HeartPaths DFW (2006 –present)\, a co-founder of Spiritual Ministries Institute (2004)\, and continues as an active board member.
