SUMMARY:Contemplative Unity\, Silent Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Dear friend\,You are invited to step out of the noise of the world and enter into the sacred stillness of contemplation. In the quiet\, we rediscover the essence of who we are — not human doings\, but human beings\, connected deeply to the Divine Presence within. As you sit in silence\, you are not alone; you are part of a great unity\, a living energy that flows through all the universe. Together\, in this shared silence\, we touch that Presence which is always here\, always now. Come and allow your mind and body to rest\, your spirit to awaken\, and your soul to listen. You are welcome here — just as you are. \nThe Contemplative Unity Hour is an unguided hour of silence. It may consist of a single 50-minute session or two 25-minute sessions\, depending on the group. There is a bell at the beginning and end of each session. Enter and exit quietly at any time. After the contemplation\, participants are encouraged to share their experience with one another. Some meditation coaching may be given by Samuel. \nIn person at the Hermitage and online \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81159684235 \nMeeting ID: 811 5968 4235 \n10$ Donation is appreciated

SUMMARY:The Way Between
DESCRIPTION:Discover “The Way Between”: A Journey of Reflection and Conversation \nJoin us for a unique and thought-provoking gathering called “The Way Between.” This event is an opportunity to explore the spaces in our lives and our spirits where we find ourselves “between” one thing and another—between old and new\, between one understanding and the next\, and between who we have been and who we are becoming. \nDuring “The Way Between\,” Samuel will share a brief talk to set the stage\, offering insights on how we navigate these in-between moments both as individuals and as a collective humanity. Afterward\, we’ll open up the floor for a warm\, welcoming discussion where everyone can share their thoughts\, reflections\, and experiences. \nWhy Attend?This is more than just a talk—it’s a shared exploration of the thresholds we all cross and the growth that happens in the spaces between. Whether you’re seeking spiritual insight\, community connection\, or just a moment of thoughtful pause\, “The Way Between” offers a gentle invitation to reflect and grow together. \nCome as you are and join us online for a meaningful hour of conversation and discovery. \nIn person at the Hermitage and online \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81159684235 \nMeeting ID: 811 5968 4235 \n10$ Donation is appreciated

SUMMARY:Mindful Self-Compassion A path to emotional well-being
DESCRIPTION:Workshop \nMindful Self-Compassion: A Path to Emotional Well-Being with Dr John Guare \nMindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is a practice that combines mindfulness and self-compassion to enhance emotional well-being. It encourages individuals to treat themselves with kindness during difficult times\, fostering resilience and emotional health. \nCore Components \nMindfulness: Involves being aware of the present moment without judgement\, allowing individuals to recognize their thoughts and feelings. \nSelf-Compassion: Encourages treating oneself with the same kindness and understanding one would offer a friend\, especially during moments of suffering or failure. \nResearch indicates that MSC is linked to improved mental health\, greater emotional resilience\, and better relationships. \nDr. Guare will demonstrate how to apply MSC in your daily life. \nPresenter: \nDr. John Guare is a clinical associate professor emeritus who served as faculty for 30 years in the department of psychology at Indiana University – Indianapolis. He taught courses including Positive Psychology\, Introduction to Counseling\, Health Psychology and others. His interests include the convergence of spirituality and psychology\, and presenting to Stephen Ministry groups at various churches.

SUMMARY:Wisdom Circle Book Group
DESCRIPTION:Wisdom Circle is an online gathering rooted in the spirit and lineage of Fr. Justin’s Energy Circle—a shared field of presence\, compassion\, and deep listening. Together\, we engage wise literature from Christian and universal traditions not to analyze or master it\, but to let it read us. Through gentle reflection\, shared silence\, and heartfelt conversation\, we listen for what gives life\, clarity\, and courage in this season of our lives. This is a space where wisdom is not owned\, but participated in—where insight emerges through openness rather than effort. \nMore than a discussion group\, the Wisdom Circle is a practice of inner transformation that naturally expresses itself as love in the world. Participants are invited to come as they are\, speak from lived experience\, honor silence\, and trust the slow\, faithful work of the Spirit. In the spirit of Fr. Justin’s teaching\, we gather believing that when love is given away\, light quietly turns on—for ourselves\, for one another\, and for the world we serve. \nWhat we are reading: Success: Full Relating by Fr. Justin Belitz\, O.F.M. \nStarting May 12th\, \nBefore participating\, please read the Wisdom Circle Guide: Click Here \nAll are welcome. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81159684235 \nMeeting ID: 811 5968 4235

SUMMARY:Contemplative Unity\, Silent Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Dear friend\,You are invited to step out of the noise of the world and enter into the sacred stillness of contemplation. In the quiet\, we rediscover the essence of who we are — not human doings\, but human beings\, connected deeply to the Divine Presence within. As you sit in silence\, you are not alone; you are part of a great unity\, a living energy that flows through all the universe. Together\, in this shared silence\, we touch that Presence which is always here\, always now. Come and allow your mind and body to rest\, your spirit to awaken\, and your soul to listen. You are welcome here — just as you are. \nThe Contemplative Unity Hour is an unguided hour of silence. It may consist of a single 50-minute session or two 25-minute sessions\, depending on the group. There is a bell at the beginning and end of each session. Enter and exit quietly at any time. After the contemplation\, participants are encouraged to share their experience with one another. Some meditation coaching may be given by Samuel. \nIn person at the Hermitage and online \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81159684235 \nMeeting ID: 811 5968 4235 \n10$ Donation is appreciated

SUMMARY:The Way Between
DESCRIPTION:Discover “The Way Between”: A Journey of Reflection and Conversation \nJoin us for a unique and thought-provoking gathering called “The Way Between.” This event is an opportunity to explore the spaces in our lives and our spirits where we find ourselves “between” one thing and another—between old and new\, between one understanding and the next\, and between who we have been and who we are becoming. \nDuring “The Way Between\,” Samuel will share a brief talk to set the stage\, offering insights on how we navigate these in-between moments both as individuals and as a collective humanity. Afterward\, we’ll open up the floor for a warm\, welcoming discussion where everyone can share their thoughts\, reflections\, and experiences. \nWhy Attend?This is more than just a talk—it’s a shared exploration of the thresholds we all cross and the growth that happens in the spaces between. Whether you’re seeking spiritual insight\, community connection\, or just a moment of thoughtful pause\, “The Way Between” offers a gentle invitation to reflect and grow together. \nCome as you are and join us online for a meaningful hour of conversation and discovery. \nIn person at the Hermitage and online \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81159684235 \nMeeting ID: 811 5968 4235 \n10$ Donation is appreciated
