SUMMARY:Entering the Mystical Mandala: Centering Oneself in the Sacred Circle
DESCRIPTION:This retreat will explore the universal symbol of the sacred circle known as the “mandala” and why we are naturally drawn to this sacred shape. Together we will experience how and why entering the process of creating and working with mandalas fosters physical\, psychological and spiritual grounding in our lives. Attendees will be invited to create four mandalas as part of the retreat. The retreat will include opportunities for art sharing where participants can process their experience in creating their mandala art. No previous art ability is needed to participate in this retreat. Everyone\, experienced artist or not\, will benefit from attending and creating. Basic art supplies will be offered to each participant\, but you are free to bring your own favorite art-making supplies as well. Mandala creating and conferences will be surrounded by the gift of silence as well as regularly scheduled group Centering Prayer sessions. Do not be afraid to meet your spiritual inner artist. All are welcome! \nPresenter: The Rev. Dr. Shawn Kafader is an ordained non-denominational clergyperson\, Licensed Mental Health Counselor\, certified Expressive Arts Therapist\, certified Art4Healing® Facilitator\, trained SoulCollage® Facilitator\, and Artist.

SUMMARY:Advent Centering Prayer Retreat
DESCRIPTION:This weekend retreat will focus on how Centering Prayer can heighten one’s understanding and appreciation for the season of Advent. \nCentering Prayer is a form of Christian silent meditation where one lets go of thoughts during periods of prayer typically lasting 20 minutes. It is rooted in the self-emptying love that forms the heart of Jesus’ teaching and life. The effect on those who practice it is an every-increasing awareness of the God’s action and presence in the course of ordinary life. \nScholarship assistance is available. Please contact Reservations for application\, Reservations@stmaryssewanee.org\, 931-598-5342.
