Every day presents us many opportunities to encounter and learn more about God\, but all too often we fail to recognize them when they come our way. As Israel Baal Shem (c1698-1760) was said to have stated:  \n\n\n\n“The world is full of wonders and miracles but people take their little hands and cover their eyes and see nothing.” \n\n\n\nThe exercises in this first part of our journey encourage us to uncover our eyes\, wake up from our existential naps\, and engage with the world around us.  \n\n\n\n*For these sessions\, we will be using Living in an Icon\, which you can either purchase for yourself\, or we can order and send to you for an additional cost of $16–just make a note as you register. Subsequent session dates\, gathering the second Tuesday of each month: September 9\, October 14\, November 11\, December 9 \n\n\n\nPlease register by August 5. \n\n\n\nAfter receiving your registration\, you will receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice.
