SUMMARY:Faith: Walking on Water
DESCRIPTION:Zoom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a guided meditation inviting you to deeper faith centered in trust — the same kind of trust that Peter needed when he responded to the Lord’s call to step out of the boat and walk on water. Progressing spiritually requires a certain amount of trust\, and through this reflection we will pray for a strengthening of trust and faith to know that the Lord is with us always—even in our struggles. We will have scripture reading\, guided meditation\, quiet reflection\, time for sharing\, and a closing prayer. \n\n\n\nPlease register by September 29. \n\n\n\nAfter we receive your registration\, you can expect to receive a confirmation email from us which will your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs and so we offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSr. Linda Zahner\n\n\n\nSr. Linda is a member of Mount St. Scholastica Monastery in Atchison\, Kansas.

Sr. Linda guides retreats and offers therapeutic massage\, promoting a holistic approach to health and well-being of body\, mind\, and spirit.

SUMMARY:Hildegarde: Embraced by the Mystery of Hope
DESCRIPTION:Zoom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRequest link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaint Hildegard of Bingen was a 12th-century mystic and Benedictine nun who made lasting contributions in theology\, music\, medicine\, and natural history. In a time of great political and social change\, she was granted unusual freedom to speak words of reform and truth. In 2012\, Benedict XVI declared Hildegard a Doctor of the Church\, describing her as a “great prophetess [who] speaks to us with great relevance even today\, through her courageous ability to discern the signs of the times\, her love for creation\, her medicine\, her poetry\, and her music…” We will explore how Hildegard’s life and teachings can help us companion one another in the face of social division and ecological crisis\, as we seek to nurture healing and wholeness within the human community and the wider earth community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSr. Judith Sutera\n\n\n\nSr. Judith Sutera\, OSB\, MA\, a member of Mount St. Scholastica Monastery\, has master’s degrees in counseling and monastic spirituality. She serves as an oblate director for Mount St. Scholastica and as a writer\, speaker\, and retreat director. She edits Magistra\, a journal of the history of women’s spirituality\, and is the author of Wisdom from Saint Benedict (Lent and Advent volumes)\, The Vinedresser’s Notebook\, and Benedict’s Rule: An Inclusive Translation and Daily Commentary. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSr. Elizabeth Carrillo\n\n\n\nSr. Elizabeth has an M.A. degree in Religion and the Environment from the University of the South School of Theology in Sewanee\, Tennessee. She is a board and staff member of the Center for Deep Green Faith\, which provides offerings that blend eco-theology with eco-spirituality grounded in the Christian tradition. She is an alumna of the Center’s Contemplation and Care for Creation Certificate Program and provides workshops and retreats at Sophia Center and elsewhere.
