“And don’t we all, with fierce hunger, crave a cave of solitude, a space of deep listening- full of quiet darkness and stars, until finally we hear a syllable of God echoing in the cave of our hearts?” - Macrina Wiederkehr
As public ministry leaders, a time to “just be” with God often seems illusive. And yet, we are continually invited into this practice of presence for grounding, perspective, openness, and even healing.
You are invited to join Sister Michelle Walka for a time of intentional and reflective pause as we dwell together in contemplative prayer with creative expression. Discover again these ancient practices and how this sacred time of “being” can inform, illuminate, and inspire us in our daily life of faith and leadership. No art experience or special skills are needed. You are invited to have a piece of paper and a writing utensil for this time.
Please email Sr. Noreen Stevens for the zoom log-in information: noreen.stevens@elca.org
