Wonder
An online Micro-Retreat
April 2, 10:30–11:45 am EDT
Wonder.
It’s a way to come to life that opens up possibilities.
Wonder lets us see the beauty and wisdom in everyday objects and encounters. It helps us find fresh perspective and understanding in troubling situations.
It can renew our spirit.
During this retreat we’ll ponder:
- How we can access and sustain wonder in our lives?
- What can wonder give us?
We’ll pause for meditation and engage with short texts for inspiration. We’ll take time off-screen for quiet, individual reflection and join a partner to listen to our own and each other’s wisdom. We’ll work with the online setting in a balanced and purposeful way. Courage & Renewal Touchstones will provide guidelines to support a welcoming, protected and confidential space.
We invite you to join us for 75 minutes to slow down and hear the wisdom that emerges from your own heart.

Where are we now?
5-session, weekly retreat
Tuesdays, March 28 – April 25
7:00 – 9:00 pm EDT
Over the last three years our notion of what is normal has been disrupted.
Environmental emergenices, political disruption, and public health crises have fragmented our world.
It’s as though we’ve been living through lingering illness and landed in an unfamiliar, unkind territory.
- What do we need to become whole?
- How do we find our bearings in this fractured environment?
- Where are we now?
- Who are we called to be?
We invite you to join us to explore these questions, in a 5-session, online retreat.
We’ll create a welcoming, trustworthy space for participants to reflect on personal and communal questions. We’ll practice deep listening and offer honest, open questions to support each other to find new perspectives, uncover personal wisdom and build courage.
We’ll work with the online setting in a balanced and purposeful way. Zoom will provide the gathering space for our interactions and a platform to share images, music, poetry and story. We’ll pause for meditation and take time off-screen for reflection and pondering, movement and rest.
Tuesdays, 7:00 – 9:00 pm EDT, March 28 – April 25.
