Contemplatives in Action

Tuesday, March 17

 12 to 1 PM

Faber Center, Schroeder Complex 111


st ignatius graphic and wine & cheese

With everything currently going on in our world, how are you dealing with the uncertainty of it all? Are you overwhelmed with feelings such as worry and sadness, kindling a longing in you to make sense of what is happening? What would it be like to have a safe and welcoming community that would tend to your thoughts and feelings?

Over the spring semester, we will come together informally to pay attention to our hearts' longings and to reflect deeply on what we see happening in our times and on how we might respond to these realities. Participants will be invited to engage in two rounds of sharing, beginning with hearing each other’s reflections and holding them in our hearts, and ending with expressing what arose in us as we heard each other with reverence and compassion.

Please join us as we practice the art of attentive listening to care for ourselves, each other, and our world during these challenging times.

Lunch will be provided.

Writing from the Heart:
Your Dedicated Time for Meaningful Projects

Tuesday, April 7

3 to 4 PM

Faber Center, Schroeder Complex Rm 111


Most of us have a "heart project" waiting for a quiet moment: a long-overdue card to a loved one, a grant proposal that could change your future, or that book idea you’ve been nurturing for years. What is the "more" (Magis) that your heart is seeking to express? Sometimes, the most meaningful work we do isn't what is on our to-do list, but what is on our soul.

Writing from the Heart is an opportunity to stop
"putting it off" and start making progress. This session provides a low-stress environment to help you: 

Finish tasks
Finally send that letter or card.

Bridge the gap
Work on grant proposals or professional drafts with focused intent.

Nurture creativity
Dive into book chapters, poetry, or new ideas.

Unplug
Step away from daily distractions to focus on what you hold dear.
