Sexuality and Spirituality
The culture has created a great divide between sexuality and spirituality. This workshop will investigate the necessary union between the transformative powers of sexuality in our search for the Beloved and the opening to the Divine. From a Jungian and Christian perspective, we will see that the libido moves us to spiritual transformation. We will see both the light and shadow aspects of this journey.

Claiming our Faith in Times of Transition: Embracing Jesus as The Christ of our Today and Our Tomorrow
Barbara Fiand, SND de N
The transformation of consciousness that is dawning in our age calls us to ask depth questions that may not find an easy answer in the ordinary constructs of our religious tradition: Who is this man that changed history? What was his relation to God, his vision and passion? How did he pray and what does he call us to in our time? These are the issues we will consider on this retreat.

Book of Ecclesiastes
The Bible is never irrelevant, but some of its books become more relevant than others. In our time of great doubt and insecurity, the simple assurances of faith are often not quite enough. We need a tougher spirituality, one that honors the madness of our lives and helps us navigate the wildness with wisdom, compassion, and grace. Ecclesiastes is one of these books. Rarely read and often misunderstood, Ecclesiastes is a profound exploration of life and how best to live it. Working from the original Hebrew and his own translation of Ecclesiastes, Rabbi Rami will help us discover the timeless wisdom woven into this ancient text.

Meister Eckhart: Guided Retreat

The Greatest Prayer: An Ecumenical Seminar
The Lord's Prayer is an indispensable part of Christian faith, recited weekly by a majority of the world's 2.5 billion Christians. Yet how much do we really know about the meaning behind this foundational prayer? Addressing not only the history and meaning behind each word in the prayer, but also its poetic form, Crossan reveals the power behind the prayer and how surprisingly revolutionary and universal it is. This is an ecumenical seminar co-sponsored by St. Michael's Episcopal Church, Litchfield, CT.
