SUMMARY:I Am - The Sacred Doorway into the Aramaic Heart of Jesus
DESCRIPTION:The seven “I am” statements in the Gospel of John are a window into who Jesus is and the heart of his teaching. From the perspective of Jesus’ native language of Aramaic\, these statements can also reveal who we are – and how we can enter more deeply into Divine Presence through the heart of Jesus’ teachings. Drawing on the work of Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz\, Cynthia Bourgeault\, and others\, this weekend invites us to enter the I am sayings through this deeper lens. Together we’ll explore how these teachings open us to Presence\, identity\, and deep belonging in God and the heart of reality. Through guided reflection\, chant\, movement\, and Centering Prayer\, we’ll listen for the living resonance within each phrase. Our time will be nurturing and unhurried\, offering space for personal insight and gentle sharing. All are warmly welcomed to rest\, receive\, and rediscover these timeless words. \nAvondale Presbyterian Church\, 2821 Park Rd\, Charlotte NC 28203. \nMore information and registration: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hDCPDCg1sZPAKlE9MsDCeYEQg_2FoNfWkccusM5unCo/edit?tab=t.0

SUMMARY:The Practice of Letting Go: The Wisdom of Release in Contemplative Prayer - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The Practice of Letting Go: A 90-minute Mini-Retreat\nThe Wisdom of Release in Contemplative Prayer \nSo much of our inner life is shaped by what we hold onto — fixed identities\, familiar ways of thinking\, inherited beliefs\, and the stories we tell about who we are. \nContemplative practice invites us to loosen\, open\, and “let it go.” But what does that actually mean? How do we let go of a thought\, a belief\, or a way of seeing ourselves and the world? And how can that be so healing? \nJoin this gathering to explore the practice and wisdom of letting go: not erasing our thoughts or identities\, but loosening our identification with them so we can rest in the deeper Presence both beneath & within the activity of our busy minds. \n90 minutes\, online\nLed by Keith Kristich\, Closer Than Breath
