We live in a time of great unsettledness with threats that can evoke fear, anger, denial, and deep sorrow. In times like these, where divisiveness is intentionally sown, we need connection with kindred souls. We need encouragement to love our neighbours as ourselves and love the Holy with all our heart and mind. We seek a long view which is found in the wisdom of Earth, Indigenous peoples, saints, sages, mystics, and prophets. Our connection to Spirit is essential. From across time, space, and tradition, a wealth of wisdom is available to us. Let’s keep company with this!
You are invited to three evening gatherings. We will come together in the spirit of Sacred Pause where inspiration and sustenance – ancient and new – will be our companions. Come and engage in wisdom teachings, spiritual practices, silence, prayer, sound, and image.
You are welcome to stay on afterwards from 7:30 to 8:15 pm for a guided conversation on the themes of the evening.
This event is offered through the partnership of
Pacific Jubilee and Naramata Centre
Bursary funds are available through Naramata Centre.
