that encourage seeking intimacy and authenticity in relationship with God and community.
Third Saturday of each month
Online
March 18th Going Deeper Online Retreat. 9:30- noon. The Deer’s Cry – a Morning With St. Patrick: Exploring The Breastplate of St. Patrick, called “The Deer’s Cry” provides an opportunity to experientially learn together about the legend and the history of St. Patrick of Ireland. The Celtic way of seeing is intricately expressed in this prayer which invites us to consider things “seen and unseen” as we navigate the threats and the blessings in our own life- world. St. Patrick has much to teach us about living faith, and about knowing and being known by God who is both immanent and transcendent. Saturday, March 18, 2023 from 9:30-11:30.
Please contact khlarsonsd@gmail.com to receive a Zoom invitation the day before the event.

MARCH QUIET MORNING: INTRODUCTION TO DREAM WORK
Saturday, March 25th 9:00 – Noon | Faith offering suggested: $5-10.
Why were dreams and visions taken so seriously in Scripture? Perhaps because they had something important to say! Episcopal Priest and Jungian psychoanalyst says “Dreams are God’s forgotten language.” We will learn why we should pay attention to our dreams, some techniques to remembering dreams, and then how to “work a dream.” We’ll also experience how a dream “group” works.
