January 7 San Damiano Retreat Center Danville, CA www.sandamiano.org |
Spirituality: Friend or Foe of Religion The growth of spirituality has become a threat and a possibility for organized religion. People are seeking experiences of God and not necessarily finding them in traditional religions, which are filled with scandals, schisms, divisions, and controversy. Yet, personal spirituality cannot fill all the needs for community, ritual, work for justice, and more. The day will attempt to wrestle with this question to empower us for transformation. $95 With CE Units /$75 Without Certificate |

Mystery of Choice: Befriending the Life Not Chosen

This workshop will examine the gift of joy in the paradox of accepting limited choices, roads not taken, and the grief and freedom from the unlived life.
