Come and share in spiritual practices and in group sharing including intergenerational wisdom to re-start the fire of spirituality in our bellies. Whether you see yourself as “in a church” or part in and part out or out and moved on, we all have a role to play in this movement. Matthew Fox will lead and other inspiration will come from Adam Bucko of Reciprocity Foundation and Hab Community; Jamie L Manson, a columnist for National Catholic Reporter; a panel of young adults; from Rev. Jean Marie Marchant, & Rev. Ronald Hindelang of The Spirit of Life: A Catholic Community of Justice & Joy leading worship on Sunday; from a circle of grandmothers; from a pounding of 95 theses to the proverbial church door; from Ellen Kennedy leading sacred circle dancing and more.
Scandals and dogmatic rigidity in Catholicism and Apathy and boredom in Protestantism seem to argue that a new dawn is needed after 2000 years of Christianity. With today’s scholarship revealing much about the mystic and prophet that rabbi Jesus was, with a renewed interest in contemplation and social action, with the positive energy possible when world spiritual traditions bring their best to the table, with the common pressures of eco-justice and social justice demanding our attention, there is much that a stripped down and distilled version of Jesus’ revolution can offer today. Time to push the re-start button on Christianity!
Cost: $395: Includes 2 Nights lodging & 6 meals/ private rooms/shared bath
