SUMMARY:InterSpiritual Praxis in Community: Charis Meditation and Charis Circles
DESCRIPTION:Charis Circles are small communities of interspiritual practice. We will introduce interspirituality and Charis Meditation\, developed for interspiritual settings. The day is for those who embrace one religious tradition\, more than one tradition\, or are “spiritual but not religious.” As the Quaker Rufus Jones noted\, “I pin my hopes to quiet processes and small circles\, in which vital and transforming events take place.” Charis Circles embody this vision\, where transformation and revelation within can unfold. \nThis event includes sessions of Centering Prayer along with others who may be practicing a different form of silent prayer.

SUMMARY:Unchanging – Awakening in the Flow of Hope (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:We are living in turbulent times. In the churning\, can you feel an anchor to something that is unchanging? Could it be a deep abiding hope? In this presentation\, Rick Klein offers insight to a path out of the dualistic sociopolitical environments that keep us stuck. \nHow might I continue “Growing Up” on my spiritual journey? \nBuilding on teachings from Cynthia Bourgeault\, Richard Rohr\, Thomas Keating and others\, Rick believes the key to future spiritual growth—individually and collectively—begins with hope. Not the ordinary understanding of hope\, but a deeper understanding: Contemplative Hope. As we awaken to the powerful presence of contemplative hope in our lives\, we reveal the unchanging universal truths hidden in plain sight. \nJoin us as we explore how to weave the threads of universal truth into the fabric of our lives and open to the potential of a quantum leap in spiritual “growing up.” This collective leap is essential if we are to show up in new ways that can diffuse the anger and fear in our world. \nWe will begin this workshop with 20 minutes of Centering Prayer. \nThis presentation—Unchanging—grew out of Rick Klein’s February 2025 presentation\, “Unfinished: A Spirituality of Change\,” which explored Ken Wilber’s developmental “Growing Up” lens and left many of us wondering what is mine to do? In this new presentation\, Rick continues the exploration of our collective and individual journeys. If you missed the Unfinished presentation\, you will be able to watch the February recording as part of your registration for Unchanging. The recording is not necessary\, however\, as Unchanging is a unique presentation that builds on themes raised in the previous presentation. \nHope is an orientation of the spirit\, an orientation of the heart; it transcends the world that is immediately experienced\, and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons.\n—Václav Have \nTime listed are Mountain daylight time. \nRegister using the Event Website link below.
