SUMMARY:Weekly Online Welcoming & Centering & Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Fridays\, starting September 19\, 12:00 pm \n$20 Suggested Donation to Sacred Waters \nWeekly Online Interspiritual Group Contemplative Practices beginning Friday\, September 19\, via Zoom. Welcoming Prayer meets Fridays from 12:00pm PT to 12:30pm PT. Centering Prayer meets Fridays from 12:30pm PT to approximately 1:00pm PT. Fee: $20/month for either or both sessions. Register to receive the Zoom link. \nThough contemplative practices are often thought of as solitary endeavors\, community is a very important component in supporting our individual intentions. Whether you’re an experienced contemplative or just starting to engage\, you’re welcome to join in! \nWelcoming Prayer is a method of consenting to God’s presence and action in our physical and emotional reactions to events and situations in daily life. The purpose of the Welcoming Prayer is to deepen our relationship with God through consenting in the ordinary activities of our day — “consent-on-the-go.” \nCentering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer\, prayer in which we experience God’s presence within us\, closer than breathing\, closer than thinking\, closer than consciousness itself. \nFacilitator: Sylvia Sepulveda is a longtime longtime practitioner\, organizer\, and facilitator of contemplative group practices. She offers spiritual direction\, dreamwork\, retreats\, and art-based workshops through Secret Garden Practices (https://secretgardenpractices.com/).

SUMMARY:Silence and Honey Cakes: Lessons from the Desert for Modern Communities
DESCRIPTION:February 21\, 8:30 am \nin person in Bloedel Hall and online via Zoom\, registration required. \nwith the Rev. Sr. Miriam Elizabeth Bledsoe\, OSH \nFrom the beginning\, we were created for belonging and community. And yet\, community also comes with many challenges\, including the temptations of individualism\, conformity\, competition and power. How do we discern and nourish the truth of who we are and who our neighbor is? How do we manage the variations of gifts\, limitations\, calls and vocations within our communities while also nurturing the persons in those communities and in the margins? The desert mothers and fathers of the 3rd and 4th centuries understood that the heart of the Christian path was communion with God and with one another. They also knew the challenges of belonging and community. These ammas and abbas will be our teachers as we explore belonging\, loving\, and navigating the blessings and temptations that can manifest in community. \nSuggested donation: $25. Registration is required for in-person or online participation (register to receive Zoom link).

SUMMARY:Listening to the Land Retreat
DESCRIPTION:January 17\, 9:30 am – 2:00 pm \nDue to high interest but lower sign ups than hoped\, and a desire to make this retreat accessible to more people (both now and at a later date)\, we will be pivoting and offering a hybrid mini-version Saturday\, 1/17\, from 9:30 am – 2:00 pm with lunch included. \nThe mini-version will still happen on-site at Sacred Waters and on Zoom for those wanting to attend in-person or from home. Carpools from Seattle / Tacoma area will be available. With more relationship cultivation and church groups involved\, we plan to offer a full weekend retreat later in the year (stay tuned for the date!). \nOn Saturday the 17th\, we will: \n\nspend time in contemplative communion with Creation\ntalk about your current or aspiring land/water-based work (Wild Church outside; rain\, food\, or pollinator gardens; eco-preaching; contemplative practices\, etc!)\ndiscuss our church needs and a possible path forward for support and community (church grants\, land-based coaching\, church cohort program)\nEat\, pray\, and spend time in Creation together!\n\nPlease sign up here if you’d like to participate. We apologize for the late change in plans and hope you (and those who couldn’t initially participate!) will still join on the 17th or for our future retreat. We were really looking forward to sinking into a wonderful weekend with you and look forward to planting and nurturing the seeds planted together into a fuller garden!
