Trusting Love in Transition: A Weekend Retreat back
November 6 - November 8, 2015
Theme: TRUSTING LOVE IN TRANSITION. This is a season of change and possibility. Discernment and courage emerge from deepening awareness of God’s active loving wisdom. Let us come together in silence to be still and attentive in this time of transition. The autumn rhythms of November will enhance our prayer for opening more fully to God.
The present is difficult and mysterious, the future is unknown. Yet there is an essential dynamic Love at the heart of all things that is ever-healing and creating newness. “Be still and know that I am God.” Our deepest call is to be still, open and trusting in all the vicissitudes of life. Renewed and refreshed by Love, we can embrace the new, secure in the winds of change.
Leader: Ann Dean is a spiritual director and Program Director at the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation. A member of the Dayspring Retreat Mission Group, she has been leading retreats for 25 years.
