We are in a time like no other. Few of us have experienced upheavals and changes such as have occurred over the last few months. Perhaps this has been a time of spiritual questioning for you, a time of wondering what does this all really mean? Perhaps you’ve been hoping for a way to process what you are feeling and noticing, in a place that invites questions and self-discovery.
Join us for an online series where you can explore your emerging spirituality in an experiential way.

Understanding Systematic Racism
The Spiritual Life Center announces a new program that will help people to answer this question. It is called "Understanding and Responding to Systemic Racism". In this program we will use a tool called the Experience Cycle for a spiritually grounded exploration of systemic racism. Readings, staff presentations, and brief written reflections, will be part of the process. Participants also will be invited to share their discoveries in supportive small groups.
A spiritually grounded exploration of systemic racism and our possible response as an individual and as a collective community. To be accomplished by small and large group work, using the Experience Cycle and didactic instruction.

Radical Amazement Study Group
Judy Cannato’s Radical Amazement: Contemplative Lessons from Black Holes, Supernovas, and Other Wonders of the Universe is a call to be moved to a powerful—and “awe-full”--awareness of our universe story, our place in it, and our connectedness to All that exists within the heart of Mystery, her name for God.
Through a combination of presentation, contemplative reflection, and prayerful sharing, we will explore Cannato’s book and its invitation to live contemplatively as part of a universe that is constantly evolving toward greater self-awareness, more conscious connectedness, and deeper intimacy within Holy Mystery.
