The Art of Attention - Cultivating WONDER as a Spiritual Practice Workshop

In this time of distraction and information saturation, how do we move beyond just thinking about God to experiencing God? The Rev. Dr. Travis Helms, priest and poet with St. John’s Episcopal Church in Jackson, WY, will be our host. Over the course of this special weekend, Rev. Helms will lead us in exploring practices to help us slow down, pay attention, and become present to the Divine.

Program

• Friday, March 13 - 7pm (doors open at 6:30pm)- Rev. Helms will host a casual conversation featuring a very special guest: Arizona’s First Poet Laureate Alberto Ríos. All are invited to what promises to be a dynamic and engaging evening. (We will be serving light snacks and drinks between 6:30pm-7pm - Come early and bring your free ticket!)

• Saturday, March 14 - 9:30am-3pm (doors open at 9am) - A day-long event with our retreat leader Rev. Helms, including teaching, discussion, and guided practice in cultivating imagination and courage, all to embrace our wondrous, wounded world. (Lunch option is available for purchase, your printed free ticket will guarantee you a seat)

• Sunday, March 15 - 7:45am & 10:15am - The theme continues. Rev. Helms will preach at the 7:45 am and 10:15 am services.
