SUMMARY:Painting the Sorrowful Mysteries  of the Rosary
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by George Matejka on Zoom \n \nChristianity has kept the events of Jesus’ passion and death in the forefront of our religious practice and spiritual devotion. Through the ages artists have used their imagination and skills to portray the five events remembered in the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary: the Agony in the Garden\, the Scourging at the Pillar\, the Crowning with Thorns\, the Carrying of the Cross\, and the Crucifixion.\nGeorge will guide us on a visual journey through pictures that show the personal interpretations of various artists whose paintings have colored our collective imagination. This sensory experience will deepen our reflective prayer through Lent and Holy Week.\nRegister to receive the link.\n$15\n

SUMMARY:An Evening of Story Telling with Ofelia Rivas - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Please pray for Ofelia as she is dealing with Covid\n\n]On Zoom with Ofelia Rivas\nLast spring Ofelia shared with us concepts and beliefs that form the foundation of her O’odham Native American tradition; a worldview grounded in a deep relationship with Nature; a spirituality that recognizes the sacredness of all being. We are honored that Ofelia has agreed to return for a storytelling evening.\nLeslie Marmon Silko wrote\, “When I say ‘storytelling\,’ I don’t just mean sitting down and telling a once-upon-a time kind of story. I mean a whole way of seeing yourself\, the people around you\, your life\, the place of your life in the bigger context\, not just in terms of nature and location\, but in terms of what has gone on before\, what’s happened to other people. It’s a whole way of being.”\nIn Ofelia’s tradition storytelling is reserved for winter\, so we are grateful to have her back welcoming us into her family circle with winter stories. Bob Toth and John Briggs will moderate the gathering.\nSuggested Donation  $20\nAll donations to the O’odham Tribe \n

SUMMARY:The Universal Christ: A Book Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Mike Reiling\n\nThis Zoom program will be a series of readings and conversations on chapters from Richard Rohr’s book The Universal Christ.\nParticipants will need a copy of the book.\n$8 / Session\nRichard Rohr in an accessible way brings together in this book a number of emerging developments in contemporary Christian spirituality.  First\, is a recognition of the evolutionary nature of the universe as the way God acts\, leading to a creation-centered view of life. Secondly\, a renewed emphasis on the Christ present everywhere in the universe\, from its scriptural roots in Wisdom literature\, the letters of Paul\,  and the Gospel of John.

SUMMARY:How to be a Mystic: Emily Dickinson’s Day Job
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Benjamin Bagocius\, PhD\n\nIn this casual writing workshop\, we will explore mystical thought from a Judeo-Christian tradition\, which will prepare us to dive into the puzzling delights of Dickinson’s poetry.

We welcome both new and veteran writers\, those interested in Dickinson or mysticism and anyone wishing to write for personal renewal.\nRegister to receive the link.  $15\nBenjamin Bagocius\, PhD\, is founding director of the Institute for Spiritual Poetry\, which hosts writing workshops\, a literary journal\, and other events.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - An Evening of Story Telling with Ofelia Rivas
DESCRIPTION:Rescheduled for Thursday\, February 10!\n\nOn Zoom with Ofelia Rivas\nLast spring Ofelia shared with us concepts and beliefs that form the foundation of her O’odham Native American tradition; a worldview grounded in a deep relationship with Nature; a spirituality that recognizes the sacredness of all being. We are honored that Ofelia has agreed to return for a storytelling evening.\nLeslie Marmon Silko wrote\, “When I say ‘storytelling\,’ I don’t just mean sitting down and telling a once-upon-a time kind of story. I mean a whole way of seeing yourself\, the people around you\, your life\, the place of your life in the bigger context\, not just in terms of nature and location\, but in terms of what has gone on before\, what’s happened to other people. It’s a whole way of being.”\nIn Ofelia’s tradition storytelling is reserved for winter\, so we are grateful to have her back welcoming us into her family circle with winter stories. Bob Toth and John Briggs will moderate the gathering.\nSuggested Donation  $20\nAll donations to the O’odham Tribe \n
