SUMMARY:The Gift of Life: Death & Dying\, Life & Living via Zoom - 12-Step Friendly
DESCRIPTION:Covid-19 has caused most of us to experience some type of loss\, stress\, questions of faith and possibly death of loved ones. Even without Covid-19\, there is an almost universal pondering we share about suffering and death. Join us as we explore these common and often “tabooed” subjects in a four-part Zoom meeting series. \nFour Sundays – May 16\, May 23\, June 6\, June – 13\nAll meetings are from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm\nLive Zoom interactive experience \nWe’ll learn from videos of Fr. Thomas Keating exploring our capacity for knowing God through relationship – a relationship that evolves and changes as we move through various phases of the spiritual journey. \nHosted by Gina DiGirolamo and John Orr \nThis video series is an intimate conversation between Fr. Thomas Keating and Fr. Carl Arico focusing on the transformative process of death and dying as part of\, rather than the end of\, life’s journey. \nThe original title of this series of interviews with Father Thomas Keating was Death & Dying and the Unknowable God. But as the series was worked on\, it was realized that while the subject is death and dying\, it is really about life – hence\, “The Gift of Life: Death & Dying\, Life & Living“. \nRegistration is requested. Please send an email to cogcnky@gmail.com (this stand for Contemplative Outreach of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky). Please provide:\n1) Name (s) of participant(s)\n2) Email address of participant(s) \nA Zoom link to the series and a PDF Gift of Life: Death & Dying\, Life & Living guidebook will be emailed to all registered participants a few days prior to the first Zoom meeting.\nEvent is Free.\nDonations are gratefully accepted via the donation button on our local chapter website: co-gcnky.org

SUMMARY:Living the Beatitudes: Discovering the Mystical Truth of Jesus’ Words
DESCRIPTION:Living the Beatitudes: Discovering the Mystical Truth of Jesus’ Words\nHybrid retreat: On site* at Mercy Center and Online \nMay 27-31\, 2021\nBegins Thursday at 4:00 p.m. and concludes Monday at 12 p.m. (Pacific Time)\n$400 *on-site\, $400 online (Learning grant funds available on request.) \n“Consider that the [Aramaic] word Jesus uses\, which we have traditionally translated as ‘kingdom\,’ is related to the word for the ‘Great Mother’ in the Middle East; the word we translate as ‘daily bread’ means nourishment of all kinds and derives from the roots for the divine feminine and for Holy Wisdom or Sophia.” — Matthew Fox \nEmergence from this very difficult year of pandemic can be seen with the eyes of the heart as a great birthing of a new world. How do we align ourselves with this vision\, join in this “one great act of giving birth?” What could be better guidance than the Beatitudes\, Jesus’ instructions for realizing the Kingdom of Heaven right here on earth. And when we revisit his teachings with the help of Neil Douglas-Klotz’s translations from Aramaic\, Jesus’ own language\, we are brought home to a transformed relationship with the cosmos. \nJoin us as we give ourselves―body\, mind and emotion―to this labor of love. \nHow will the hybrid retreat work?\nYou are invited to join us from your own home OR AT MERCY CENTER in Burlingame as we practice integrating prayer with our life\, in our circumstances as they are. Teaching sessions will include experiential\, participatory\, and embodied exercises to draw us more deeply into the healing\, contemplative space. Breaks will be provided for further integration.\nProgram Features\n• Live Online Centering Prayer Sessions – Join via Zoom (at Mercy Center or at home) at scheduled times or practice on your own.\n• Live Online Teaching Sessions – Join us live via Zoom (at Mercy Center or at home) or view recordings at a later time.\n• Live Online or in-person Small Groups – for experiential processing (not recorded).\nThere will be teachings on the Beatitudes by Catherine\, Heather and Joy. \nYou can participate in one of three ways:\n1) From home online. The retreat is designed so that you can choose as much or as little of it as fits in your life\, on any given day.\n2) In person* at Mercy Center\, participating online from your laptop in your own room and enjoying the beauty and peace of the grounds.\n3) In person* at Mercy Center attending in a spacious room together with masks and social distancing. Bring your laptop\, reusable beverage container\, a yoga mat (optional). We’ll meditate in that same room\, so you can bring your meditation cushion if you like.\nMeals will be served in eco-friendly containers and can be eaten in the conference room\, in your room\, or outside on the patio. \nEverything will be on Zoom so we’ll all be sharing the retreat no matter where we are. Be met\, trusting that God’s love surrounds all of it\, all of us\, exactly as we are. \n*On-site participants must be fully vaccinated for COVID 19 and follow our onsite COVID protocol. \nOptional reading: We will be presenting some material from the book “Prayers of the Cosmos: Meditations on the Aramaic Words of Jesus” by Neil Douglas-Klotz. You are welcome to purchase it ahead of time if you like\, but it will not be necessary – we will provide supportive handouts for the retreat. \nCatherine Regan\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director\, retired psychologist\, and adjunct staff member at Mercy Center\, primarily serving on the Centering Prayer team. She has a special interest in participating in the reclamation of the Christian Wisdom tradition and fostering the contemplative practices so urgently needed at this time in our world. \nHeather Ruce\, M.A. is a wisdom spiritual director with a background as a therapist and training in a neurophysiology based approach to trauma resolution. She loves working with individuals as well as facilitating groups and retreats focused on learning and practicing the Wisdom Tradition. \nJoy Andrews Hayter\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director\, and Centering Prayer coordinator at Mercy Center. Joy is dedicated to fostering contemplative practices such as Centering Prayer and others within the Christian Wisdom tradition that help us become aware of God’s ever-present love. As a scientist (and dancer\, writer\, and hiker) she sees in the physical world an expression of that love. \nPlease register at www.mercy-center.org or telephone 650-340-7474\nRegistration closes May 26\, 2021
