Introduction on Contemplative Living

Program Details

As we navigate the challenges of this growing pandemic, we need both external and internal resources. At times it may feel as if our external resources are beyond our reach. Our internal resources, on the other hand, are very much within our purview. This online retreat, “Contemplative Living,” reorients us to live from the inside out and introduces three personal spiritual practices that enrich our inner resources for opening more fully to the life-giving love and peace of God in our daily living.

Three sessions: Tuesdays – March 31, April 7, April 14
11 a.m. – 12 noon.

These session are free of charge, but we would ask that you consider offering a gift to Rolling Ridge in this challenging time for us.

Sessions are via Zoom (www.zoom.com). A special login email will be mailed on 3/30 to those registered.

Space is limited to 16, so please register early
