POSTPONED TO APRIL 27-30, 2025
Join us for conversation and connection around the transitions inherent as we age. For those in the 55+ community, this one is for you! (Though if you don’t make the cut, we do make exceptions!)
Our culture tempts us into playing the circus roles of striving performer or passive spectator. Neither role is deeply nourishing, nor one that our faith invites us into. What is the better way? Susan Phillips (Professor, Spiritual Director, and Author) will guide us in some tools for nourishing our spiritual lives in daily practice. We’ll spend time together exploring the challenges and opportunities of living as faithful elders in our particular time and culture, and learning from each other’s wisdom as we engage in practices of reflection, conversation, and prayer. Whether we’ve been on this journey of faith with Christ for 1 year or over 60, there is always more to learn. The Cultivated Life is Susan’s published work on the topic - not required reading, but may be helpful for you to solidify some of what is offered during the week.
