      Wisdom Centre Event: “Contemplative Solidarity” with Therese DesCamp
“Contemplative Solidarity” introduces us to a powerful practice for times of instability and fear. This practice takes us on a deep dive into meditation, where, in addition to our sense of the Holy Presence, we learn to experience a felt awareness of our entanglements across time, space, and realities. Join us for a morning workshop where we will engage in a more stable and steadfast practice, a revised and reliable sense of hope, and the pervasive knowledge that we are not alone.

      The Tears of Things: Prophetic Wisdom for an Age of Outrage
Join us for a soup supper and book study on Richard Rohr’s The Tears of Things. The ancient prophets have a reputation for anger and harshness - but that is not the whole story. This six-week study follows the evolution of the prophets’ relationship with God, as they move from anger at injustices, through grief and tears, to empathy, hope, and love. Along the way, we will consider what it might mean to be a modern-day prophet, how sorrow can become the soil for transformation, and what hope might look like in an “age of outrage.”
