Abundantly Available Grace: Living With Wonder and Awe (in-person)

Meets Friday, 6:30-9 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

Personal renewal allows us to live with self-acceptance, gratitude, compassion and the acceptance of grace. The possibilities are in every moment, with each thought, in every action. Through individual written reflection and group interaction, you will have opportunities and time to recognize the grace that is always abundantly available. Our time together will include silence, guided discussion and experiences with poetry, wisdom tradition essays and art. Claim time for your own personal renewal while strengthening a sense of community with those present.
There will be opportunities to experience the practices of the Courage & Renewal® approach to:
• Revitalize your commitment to the core values that give meaning to your life and work.
• Learn reflective practices to become more self-aware and intentional.
• Discover a process for discernment to reach clarity around deeper questions of identity and integrity.
• Expand your capacity to build trustworthy and authentic relationships.
• Improve your ability to listen openly and be present.
• Continue to find truth and healing in your own life and in your relationships.
