Calling Michigan Women!



Let nothing upset you,
Let nothing frighten you.

Everything is changing.

God alone is changeless.

~ Teresa of Avila


Please join me for a very special evening of connection, reflection, and insight ...

Wednesday, July 15, 
6:30-9:30 p.m., Grand Rapids, MI


"Are You a Woman of Courage?"



Is it possible to live with fearlessness in challenging times? The saints and women mystics of the past say it is, especially Teresa of Avila, whose lead we will follow.

We will explore how to navigate fear and worry, build personal fortitude, and live with greater courage, as she did. We'll learn new practices sourced in the world's wisdom traditions for releasing fear, building trust in the Divine, and more. (Format: Group discussion, reflection time with journaling, meditation and prayer.

In keeping with today's previous post (and the post at Bead One, Pray Too), I will be teaching the practice of metta as an antidote to fear and worry.

Cost: $20.00

Location:
Dominican Center at Marywood
2025 E. Fulton, Grand Rapids, MI

To register: Call (616) 454-1241 or online www.dominicancenter.com
