Meets Friday, 6:30-9 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Presenters: Mary Louise Peters and Amy Christianson
Courage & Renewal® work aligns with Franciscan values of service, peace and justice, dignity of every person, community, contemplation and gratitude. With courage, we are able to more fully live with individual integrity and authenticity in our relationships. Through individual written reflection and group interaction, you will have opportunities and time to recognize how you are living with courage. 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.
