Program Details

What is the "true self"? This is the question Richard Rohr explores in his book, "The Immortal Diamond." In the book, he likens the True Self to a diamond, buried deep within us, formed under the intense pressure of our lives, that must be searched for, uncovered, and separated from all the debris of ego that surrounds it.

We invite you to join us on Sunday, July 19th as we begin a 10 week an ONLINE book study of this book. In a safe and affirming community, we will meet from 3:00-4:30 pm on the first and third Sundays of the month, through December 6th. There is no charge for participation, but registration is required

NOTE: Upon Registration, you will receive a ZOOM Meeting ID via email.
