Take a transformational journey through Lent 2024 with Way of the Heart, an online 8-week experiential learning cohort that inspires and equips us to make the counter-cultural shift to “centered living” from the heart.  By cultivating our capacities for pausing, listening, and being with Love in our present moments, Way of the Heart draws us toward life’s fullness.  As a result of participating in this cohort, you will re-member your connections with God, yourself and all created beings, gain practical skills for living into wholeness, expand your spiritual practices, and discern what leads you toward Life.

"Way of the Heart" sessions meet online on Thursday evenings from 6:30 - 9:00 p.m. (eastern). ​

February 1, 8, 15, 23, 29 and March 7, 14, 21
