Living at the Edge of the Inside: A place of simplicity and compassion in a polarized world with Andrew Twiddy, Pearl Gervais, Holly Carnegie, Richard Sales and Joanne Sales
July 2 - 5, 2024
How do we find the courage to live on “the edge of the inside” of the circle? How do those experiences help us to stay grounded in compassion? On the journey to discover inner and outer freedom, many of us find that the true center isn’t really in the middle at all—it lies at the edges.
Franciscan writer Richard Rohr describes being at the “edge of the inside” as “a way of being in the world that is utterly free and grounded in the compassion of God.”
“Francis of Assisi called people to live on the edge – of the Church, of economy, of patriarchy, of the ‘system’ – through universal solidarity and chosen simplicity,” Rohr writes in Way of the Prophet.
Join us as we learn to engage with and embody a spirituality that lies at the edge.
