A workshop for the days following the Feast of Easter.
In our time together, we will encounter some distinctive perspectives on Easter life that come from the Celtic Christians, and we will explore ways to pray in the hope of the risen life. A talk which includes some Celtic prayers will also allow time for journaling and meditation. Highly recommended – The Rev. Dr. Mary Earle is one of the most loved presenters by those who have participated in the Growing in Wisdom program.
Access to the recording of this workshop will be sent to all who register.
