Overview

This program has been cancelled.

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves… the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”   Rainer Maria Rilke

Perhaps you no longer find meaning in what you once believed, but are unable to articulate where you are being drawn. Maybe you are experiencing significant moments and yearning to explore them more deeply. We invite you to become part of a community of spiritual seekers as we grow together in discovering what is true deep within ourselves, to trust what we know, and to freely express what arises.  Are you curious about a new way of being in relationship with the Sacred and the world – within, around, and beyond you? Together we will live into these questions as we embrace Mystery. People of any or no religious affiliation are welcome.

Transformation for Our Times is an invitation to:
  • Explore what is spirituality
  • Discover an expanded worldview
  • Embrace Holy Mystery
  • Reflect on the Life within Transitions
  • Attend to global justice
  • Live into the depths of Love
Features
