A Time Set Apart, to Relax, Be Still and Listen
Date: First and third Mondays of month, Sep through June
Time(s): 1:30 to 3:00 pm
Location: First†Metropolitan United Church Chapel
In our very busy lives, it can be difficult to hear the promptings of the spirit. We will practice coming to inner stilness so that we might hear the “still small voice” within.
Practices will include the use of scripture, poetry and music to inspire us; guided meditation and relaxation; and developing compassion for oneself. We will be drawing on Christian, Jewish, Buddhist and Sufi traditions. Suitable for beginners and the more experienced.
The facilitator is Linda Mulhall, MEd, whose own spiritual journey has been rich and diverse. She was a Roman Catholic nun, General Secretary for the Student Christian Movement of Canada, and a practitioner of Metis and First Nations spirituality with Oriah Mountain Dreamer. She is a member of First†Met and engaged in the Art of Spiritual Guidance program offered at Hollyhock Educational Retreat . Linda can be contacted by email or by phone at (250) 479-8410.
