Unitive consciousness—the awareness that we are all one in Love —lays a solid foundation for social critique and acts of justice. ~ Richard Rohr
The Dominican Sisters of Hope invite you to join them in exploring Unity from the Depths: A Contemplative Response to Division; a four-part series exploring aspects relevant to these tumultuous times of inner and outer conflict. More than ever, a contemplative approach, which embraces a countercultural stance that acknowledges a unitive consciousness among all creation, is necessary. By compassionately holding and not turning from the reality of our own conflicted feelings and internal divisions, we can begin to permit the current political and social divisiveness to break us open and lead us to fruitful choices of action.
This online series, presented by the Center at Mariandale Contemplative Formation Program team, is commissioned and sponsored by the Dominican Sisters of Hope, who believe that a contemplative response to polarization is the evolutionary and critical way toward greater unity. Four reflective online mornings may be taken individually or as a whole.
Sunday, Oct. 24:Contemplative Prayer and Practices: Healing the Wounds of Division, with Gaynell Cronin and Janet Corso
Our usual prayer and spiritual practices may seem inadequate in the face of our own feelings of powerlessness and the large wounds of and brokenness evident in our country and the world. How might we be a contemplative and healing presence willing to stay with our own woundedness, and be transformed ourselves in order to best serve others? During this time together we will explore specifically how prayer and practices can be courageous contemplative acts of healing.
