June 10 & July 22
Online via Zoom
Program Description:
In a world marked by uncertainty, division, and spiritual fatigue, how do we discern what leads toward life, truth, and hope? This 2-session workshop offers a reflective and prayerful space to explore four movements of the soul: Holy Darkness, Unholy Darkness, Unholy Light, and Holy Light. Through deep listening, spiritual reflection, and shared wisdom, participants are invited to grow in discernment and discover practices for remaining grounded in hope during turbulent times.
In this two-night program, starting with a session on June 10 and concluding with a session on July 22, we will explore four movements:
Holy Darkness – The purification of the ego and a gradual surrender to the deeper desires of the Self.
Unholy Darkness – The oppression of the inner voice that leads to alienation and despair.
Unholy Light – A false clarity shaped by collective projections that can justify prejudice and violence.
Holy Light – Numinous illumination and joy that draw us toward transcendence and the source of hope.
This program will benefit everyone who is experiencing the challenges of living in our world today. Those of us with roles that involve helping others such as teacher, parent, social worker, pastor, chaplain, or spiritual guide, will find this experience particularly beneficial. Join us in this space where we will slow down, deepen our awareness, and expand our knowledge in the art of discernment.
