I AM: A Doorway to Sacred Presence Day Apart

Program Details

As we begin our 2026-27 Rolling Ridge theme of "In All Things, For Every One", join us as we consider how the Aramaic language of Jesus expands our understanding of what it means to be a neighbor.

The "I am" statements in the Gospel of John are a window into who Jesus is. From the perspective of Jesus’ native language of Aramaic, these statements can also reveal who we are, how we can enter more deeply into Divine Presence through the heart of Jesus’ teachings, and how we can live and serve from this Sacred Presence in the world.

Drawing on the work of Dr. Neil Doglas-Klotz, this Day Apart invites you to enter Jesus’s “I am” sayings through a heart‑centered Aramaic lens. Together we’ll explore how these teachings open and invite us - to Presence, deep belonging, and our work in the world.

Cost: $92 (includes program from 9:30-3:30, pastries and lunch)
