Living a Spiritual Life
With Brandon Nappi and Marcie Swift
October 20, 2018
This day retreat will explore the challenge and opportunity of living a spiritual life in our contemporary world. Drawing on several sacred traditions, poetry, and the enchanting harp music of Marcie Swift, we will explore the following questions:
- What is spirituality and how is it different from religion?
- How can mindfulness practice be a spiritual practice?
- How can I draw upon the perennial wisdom of many sacred traditions in living a spiritual life?
- How can I share spiritual values with family and friends in an authentic way?
- What are the common pitfalls to be aware of in the spiritual life?
The day will include laughter, storytelling, lecture, mindfulness practice, a guided labyrinth walk, small group conversation, free time, and the sounds of the harp. Bring a journal.
Tuition is $125
