From the Other Half to Wholeness
February 26 - July 23, 2023
Fourth Sundays
4:00pm - 6:00pm (PT)
Description
If being someone’s “better half” was your core identity, the loss of the “other half” thrusts us into a strange new world. In this group, we traverse that terrain together, companioning one another as we listen deeply and watch attentively for the movement of the Spirit as the guide in our meaning-making journey towards wholeness.
You are invited to listen deeply in the community of others to the sacred text of your own life. Join this brave space which is held to nurture deep sharing and listening among fellow seekers while learning the sacred practice of group spiritual direction.
Guided by Spiritual Director, Takako Terino, you will meet regularly for 2-hour sessions with four to six other participants. Each session will include a rhythm of prayerful silence and meditation, personal sharing by participants, followed by prayerful responses to what each participant shares.
Meeting frequency: once a month
Number of sessions: 6
Group will be capped at 6 participants.
