The Language of Loss: Putting Grief into Words
Saturday, June 11
9:00am-1:00pm CST
$45 (lunch included)
At the home of Kim & Mary Francis Working in Lebanon, TN
Limited to 9 people.
I don't know about you, but the past few years have been rough! Personally, I have felt the growing need to pause and listen to what stories are under the surface from the past two years, waiting for me to slow down and acknowledge them—certain stories to be grieved, others to be delighted in, maybe even the sharing of both.
We have stories to share that can bring healing.
Let's stop busying ourselves and allow for that healing and wisdom.
Join me for a special in-person retreat with Spiritual Director & Story Coach, Amy-Lyles Wilson:

Weekly Centering Prayer Group
Now online, contact Kasey for the video conferencing link
Fridays, 9am-10am (Zoom room opens at 8:50 for visiting)
The Welcoming Prayer leads us into 20 minutes of silence followed by
meditative Scripture-reading (Lectio Divina) & every 3rd week, Visio Divina (meditating with art or photographs)
To begin a personal Centering Prayer practice,
Contemplative Outreach's app is available in Google Play and iTunes.
"Centering Prayer is a prayer practice that provides a time and space to come into the presence of God and just 'be.'
Although the power and presence of God is all around, it has helped me connect and understand the idea of having a
personal relationship with Jesus. It's a time to be present to God in silence and "abide with Him" as it says in John 15:4.
Centering Prayer is a way to rest in God. It calms my mind and soothes my soul and the best thing is - you can't do it wrong.
You just show up and God does the rest." - Marla
