It is written to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Does a living faith require doing justice or is it enough to love receiving mercy for ourselves? Are we creating a world for our individualized faith or for the common good? Let’s explore the movement of personal spirituality that leads an active faith for the sake of human flourishing.
Join us for a contemplative day-long workshop with experienced spiritual director and licensed therapist, Rev. Dr. Bob Gardenhire, III. This workshop is for anyone who is suffering, for professionals who tend to those who are suffering, and for all who may one day experience a season of suffering.
The 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.
