About the event
“In knowing what now means, we are experiencing something that transcends time: eternity.”
- David Steindl-Rast
Often we spend our days hurried, mindlessly getting through what needs to be done, and ending our day exhausted. With the popularity and plethora of books and classes and systems of “time management” it is clear we hunger for a better relationship with time. The Benedictine tradition offers a different way. The liturgical hours of the day are a framework that help us access a time we rarely find: now. Learning to become present, we meet the eternal now moment, where we encounter ourselves and the divine. This retreat will be an experiential walk through the hours of the day; an exploration in music, prayer, and art, of each hour’s gift to us; and an invitation to the present moment. We will make a book to contain our reflections, our Book of Hours, to take home as a reminder and tangible way to tune into our days with praise and gratitude.
I will be co-facilitating this retreat with Sr. Susan Barber through Sophia Spirituality Center at Mount Saint Scholastica in Atchison, Kansas.
Save the date! Registration through Sophia Center is coming soon.
