Cancelled: Compassionate Pause for Caregivers
2026-07-15 11:00 - 12:00 | Sophia Spirituality Center, 751 S. 8th Street, Atchison, KS, 66002
Zoom

CANCELLED Join us for a gentle, one-hour Zoom gathering created for caregivers—both professionals and those caring for family members or loved ones—who are carrying a great deal and rarely have space to simply be. This time offers a quiet invitation to step out of the demands of caregiving and into a rhythm of reflection, rest, and connection. Together, we’ll share a brief grounding practice, a contemplative reading, and a period of silence, followed by optional, open-hearted sharing in a supportive and confidential space. Rooted in compassion for self and others, this gathering honors both the gifts and the challenges of caregiving, offering a place to reconnect with your own inner well of presence, strength, and care.

*Read about our cancellation and refund policy.

A Special Offering for Benedictine Oblates: Yearning for Life–The Timeless Wisdom of The Rule in Troubled Times
2026-07-09 19:00 - 2026-07-12 12:00 | Sophia Spirituality Center, 751 S. 8th Street, Atchison, KS, 66002
Zoom

On-site

Hybrid (Zoom/On-site)

Register

Only 2 rooms available (both require stairs and do not have handicap features in bathrooms). Please note this event is only available to Benedictine oblates and inquirers.

Who of us is not affected by “the times.” Whether we are struggling with the challenges of the now, or worried about the uncertainty of the future, Benedict invites us to choose a path of promise. As he asks in the Prologue of his Rule, “is there anyone here who yearns for life and desires to see good days?”

A resounding “yes!”

This year’s Oblate Institute will feature Judith Valente, writer, international speaker and Mount oblate who will lead us on a path to find these good days. We will travel on a journey that studies Benedict’s tools for good works, use of the psalms and a yearning to bring good zeal into our lives.

As a hybrid experience, there are a number of attendance options for you.

In person attendance with single room – $450

In person attendance with shared room – $400

Commuter (presentation, social, and meals included, but no room) – $300

Zoom – $100

For those attending in-person, you also have the option to arrive a day early (add $55), stay a day late (add $55), or both (add $110).

Space is limited—please register early.

After receiving your registration, you will receive a confirmation email from us which will be your invoice.

*Read about our cancellation and refund policy.

Judith Valente

Judith Valente is a journalist, poet and the author of six spirituality titles and three poetry collections. She is an oblate of Mount St. Scholastica Monastery in Atchison, KS, which is the subject of her award-winning memoir, Atchison Blue: A Search for Silence, A Spiritual Home and a Living Faith. She is also the author of How To Live: What The Rule of St. Benedict Teaches Us About Happiness, Meaning and Community; as well as co-author ofThe Art of Pausing; and How To Be, the latter two books written with Brother Paul Quenon, a monk of the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky. Judith guides frequent retreats on how to live a more contemplative life in the secular world and leads the annual “Benedictine Footprints” retreat/pilgrimage to lesser-known parts of Italy. Her newest book is The Italian Soul: How to Savor the Full Joys of Life, about what we can learn from the Italian lifestyle about living more mindfully and joyfully.

2026-07-09 10:00 - 11:00 | Keeler Women’s Center, 759 Vermont Ave, Suite 100 - B, Kansas City, KS, 66101, United States
¡Disponible presencial o por WhatsApp! El libro de este mes será Aligere Su Equipaje: Despojémonos de las cargas que nunca debimos llevar. La Promesa del Salmo 23 escrita por Max Lucado.

En el día 25 de junio se discutirá la primera parte del libro donde se invita a todos los participantes a compartir su punto de vista. Va acompañado por un diario con reflexiones de los capítulos del libro. En total el estudio será en tres partes.

Jueves, 9 de julio – parte II y jueves, 23 de julio – parte III.

El libro lo puede conseguir en cantidad limitada en Keeler Women’s Center, también disponible en audiolibro.

Sobre el libro: Utilizando el Salmo 23 como hilo conductor, el libro nos enseña que muchas veces arrastramos cargas emocionales y espirituales que no fuimos diseñados para llevar, como el temor, la preocupación, la culpa, el descontento y la soledad.
