Program Details

There is a pearl within. A beauty. An honesty. A truth which is often hidden by the pressures and expectations of our upbringing and our culture as women.

In Luke 17:20–21, Jesus says, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you." And in Matthew 13: 45-46, "The kingdom of heaven is like someone looking for fine pearls. When she finds a very valuable pearl, she goes and sells everything she has and buys it."

Rolling Ridge invites you to discover that pearl within through a 10-month journey in an ONLINE "Rites of Passage" with a cohort of likeminded women.

This Gathering of Women is intended to help you explore where you are on your life journey and what guiding messages could help lead you to hear what choices you can make to follow your dreams and passions and find a greater sense of peace within.

There are "feminine rites of passage" but often, they were not discussed as we grew up. As we age and face challenges we never anticipated through our families, careers and personal losses, it is important to discover the wisdom of those who have gone before us to let us know that we are not alone.

Through the gift of Zoom, we will gather together in this exploration and listen to the guidance from one another as well as from Maureen Murdock in her personal, but also well-researched and grace-filled book, The Heroine’s Journey.

"A Gathering of Women: Journeying through the rites of passage and discovering the pearl within" will meet monthly ONLINE on the second Saturday of the month from 9:30 to 11:30 am for 9 months -- October 2022 through June 2023.
