Calendar

For Guild Graduates:

Join this sacred, supportive space to engage your creative energy!  Bring your yarn, journal, coloring books, clay, paint, etc. and join us for a time of contemplative community creating in an atmosphere of support and encouragement. No artistic experience is necessary or even expected!  The “Creative Oasis” offers a time to put our hands to paint, paper, clay, yarn, whatever; a time to unwind with the creative materials of your choice in the hope of promoting deeper sleep and new insight.  

For more information and zoom link, please contact Cari at:  cari.keith@gmail.com

For Guild Graduates:
We gather for around 60 to 90 minutes and discuss various topics brought by the facilitators, which might include anything from how we are feeling or what is going on in our lives, to what we think about a quote written by one of our founders. We practice deep sharing and deep listening, where one person speaks at a time from his or her heart, while the others listen deeply in order to really hear the truth manifested in others.

"One of the sweetest times at a Graduate Circle retreat is our morning gathering before breakfast for silent prayer and meditation," says Holly Moore. "I love the feeling of Presence in the room as we join our spirits in the silence." While the last several retreats have been on Zoom, Holly says she was still felt that Presence and "still felt connected and supported in a special way." 

Every Thursday morning at 6:30, you can join Holly and other Guild members for time together in quiet. There is no program as such. Log on as close to 6:30 as you can, settle in, breathe, and sit together with your Guild family, holding the world, the Guild, our lives in holy space. Holly will close our time around 7:00 with a reading, and then we will each move into our days. Please know that you are welcome any Thursday morning.

There is no cost for these meetings.

Open to anyone:

Several people from the Guild’s Speaker Bureau will be hosting a four part program with the Spiritual Life Center, entitled “Holding the Tension Between Suffering & Joy.”

The program takes place from 6:30 to 8:00 PM by Zoom on four consecutive Thursdays.  You may register for one, two, three, or all four sessions.

October 21, 2021—Mystic Spirituality, featuring ancient and modern mystics.  We will consider what mysticism is, look at examples from across different religious and spiritual traditions, and explore what they might share. Finally, we will consider the possibilities for mysticism as a response to the unique challenges of our moment. Presenter: Christina Carlson

October 28–Depth Psychology, featuring the work of Carl Jung.  learning how to dialogue with the “other” within, in order to build cooperative relationships with the “other” without.  This process of integration is a crucial step in order to shift from fearful retreat to hopeful engagement. Presenter: Rev. Cari Keith, BSN, M.Div.

November 4—Sacred Community—interconnections and interdependence within a Circle of Trust.  How do you recognize community in your life?  Might we need to work within community to expand our understanding of society and earth as our common spiritual community in order to save our human species? Presenter: Rev. Dianne Disston

November 11—Evolutionary Cosmology—featuring the writing of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.  Since the earth cannot endure humanity in our current state, systemic global unraveling must happen in order for something new to emerge. What is your response to this unraveling?  Where do you find inspiration and hope? Presenter: Bernice Marie-Daly, Ph.D.
