Lenten offerings coming up

January 14, 2023 in Conference News

Online Mini-retreat with Stations of the Cross artwork


Teresa Blythe and Trey Everett have created a two-hour mini-retreat to help you begin your Lenten journey. This mini-retreat, which is online, via Zoom, will be relaxing, nonjudgmental, and healing. Working with the Stations of the Cross cards we will explore the three secret teachings of creativity: what it means to live in the present, be kind to ourselves, and move away from “right/wrong” thinking. Time devoted to coloring and creating, which move us out of our anxious minds and into a deeper place of the heart, will be part of the retreat.

Online, via Zoom. Saturday Feb. 25 at 3PM Eastern/2PM Central/ 1PM Mountain and 12 NOON Pacific time.

$30 if you register by January 31. ($40 after 1/31).

To register, click here

We will mail you our newest set of cards: The Stations of the Cross. You will be coloring a card or two at the retreat, so you need these on hand (along with your favorite colored pencils or markers!).

Included with registration: Set of twelve Stations of the Cross cards and a PDF guide of suggested ways to make your own lenten retreat using the Stations of the Cross cards.


Four Zoom Presentations on Walking with the Spiritual but not Religious


Presented by Cathy and Gil Stafford

Come join the Zoom workshops with Cathy and Gil Stafford as they explore a fresh look at being a spiritual companion for those who self-identify as something other than religious—SBNR, Nones, not religious, agnostics, atheists, people who have experienced something unexplainable, and those who have encountered paranormal (religious or otherwise).


It’s also an opportunity for anyone who has left a religious tradition but still longs for a spiritual path.


When:


The workshops will be from 5:30 – 7:00 pm Mountain time via Zoom.

(4:30pm Pacific/6:30pm Central/7:30pm Eastern time)
