Join us as we explore how to more intentionally bring balance and reconciliation into our daily lives. Lectures and conversation with Benedictine leaders and scholars will deepen our understanding of the core practices of prayer, study, recreation, work, and hospitality and help integrate them into our daily living. Each interactive session offers time for prayer, reflection, and shared community. All are welcome to attend any of the sessions, with preference and reduced fees offered for Community of Reconciliation Companion candidates in the formation process.
Guest: Margaret Guenther, author, priest, and retreat leader
To more richly experience the fellowship and hospitality along the Benedictine way, plan to stay for an optional brown bag meal from 1:15 to 2:30 pm. Bring a lunch to share or you can pick one up in the Cathedral Museum Store.
