How to embrace Fear and discover Hope and Courage

Program Details

As the two year anniversary of the COVID pandemic soon approaches, it is not an understatement to say that we as a global community have been surrounded by fear. To move forward, and to find the hope and courage we need to face the uncertainties that lie ahead, it is important to name the small and big fears we encounter in our life and feel in the depth of our soul. Over four ONLINE sessions, we will have weekly teachings on how to learn from these experiences and to notice the opportunities they can provide: lessons of hope and courage.

There are TWO options for participation:

Tuesday mornings in January from 10:00 to 11:30 am EST, or
Tuesday evenings in February from 7:00-8:30 pm EST.

Choose either the January or February series when registering.

Registration Fee: $20 for the four-week session

This is an ONLINE partnership event with Our Lady of the Prairie Retreat in Wheatland, Iowa and the Sisters of St. Francis in St. Francis, WI.
