Discernment in Times Like These
With Lois Huey-Heck and Grainger Brown
January 14 - 28, 2026
Let’s travel together in the territory of deep knowing. Let’s keep company with others who know this way and have left us their travel stories as guides. Let’s ponder how discernment is a shift from “decision-making” to anchoring in Presence. Let’s consider discernment as an ongoing orientation toward life and Spirit — not a once-in-awhile event. We’ll explore the art of discerning, and reflect on our experiences. We’ll practise self-compassion and deep listening for the truth of our own beings, the Wisdom of the Holy, the embrace of Creation, and the companionship of kindred souls.
During three January nights, we’ll be companioned by word and image, music and silence, and one another. As we quiet into deep reflection, we’ll be listening, sensing and feeling beneath the surface storms for the deeper currents of what’s true, right, and integral.
This event is the fifth in a series of contemplative online events for “times like these” offered through the partnership of Naramata Centre and Pacific Jubilee.
