Second and Fourth Tuesdays LIVE at Atlanta Friends Meeting House

First and Third Tuesdays VIRTUAL via Zoom

Join our lovely intimate community of seekers who show up to one another and to God every Tuesday to join in prayer, reflection, and meditation. We sit and listen together. We read and reflect on texts from scripture, poetry, and other sacred writings. We sing and listen to inspiring music. We share our real struggles and concerns, as well as our joys and gratitudes. We hold silence and space for one another. We laugh. We pray. We seek to know and be known, to love and be loved. We keep on searching, stretching, stumbling toward Mystery and Grace.

In our first IN-PERSON Sacred Pause retreat since January 2020, we will pause to take in the immensity of living through this pandemic. What are we still grieving? What have been the gifts, the grace and growth that have come our way through this unprecedented crisis? And how do we want to live on the other side? How has this experience shaped our faith for the ongoing journey?

Spread out in a beautiful Druid Hills back yard, with a prayer labyrinth lovingly created during this last year, we will listen and share, pray and reflect, guided by scripture, poetry, reflection questions and ritual. Come join a community of fellow seekers as we welcome all that is stirring within us, and pray together for new birthings of God's creative, life-giving Spirit through and among us on this Pentecost Sabbath.

I’ve always loved this line for the truth it reveals about our humanity.

We are prone to wander . .. away from God, away from others, away from our souls.

We are prone to go our own way and then get lost and confused, or make a real mess of things.

Thankfully, we can return.

And we can seek to realign our lives with God’s love and truth.

This to me is the power of Lent.

This Lenten retreat is designed to help us to honestly examine how we’ve wandered and wondered, and how to return to the God we love (or how to love a God we are still coming to know). Come from wherever you’ve wandered into sacred space for a time of prayer and reflection in the companioning presence of other seekers. Through guided reflection with scripture and other sacred texts, personal prayer and meditation time, and searching conversation, we are invited to take stock of our journey and our human experience together, to tell the truth about the ways we’ve wandered, for good and for naught, and to seek to live in harmony with God and others.

We don't know exactly what 2021 will hold, but it will bring some significant changes. As we move into what many believe will be a hard winter with the pandemic, we also have hopes and fears associated with the newly released vaccination We will welcome our new President, vice President, and administration, whether they were our chosen candidates or not. What will these transitions mean for us and our nation? In what sense are we hoping for newness, and what are we wanting and needing to let go? And how we can we more intentional about our daily rhythms, such that our lives have space for the new?

A new year is always ripe for prayerful reflection, and this one feels especially so. So give yourself the gift of some time and space set apart, in the presence of Love and a supportive community, to discern your way into 2021. In this Sacred Pause retreat, we'll have some guided prayer, reflection and conversation about how we set a course for the new year that is true and life-giving, ready to welcome the New.

Thursday Evenings, 7-8:30 pm

June 25, July 2, 9 and 16, 2020

In light of the two pandemics-- coronavirus and racism--plaguing our nation, many of us are hungry for meaningful connection, and for healing and transformation as individuals and as a country.  Perhaps this extraordinary moment in our history is just the time for us to wake up, and do our part for the healing of our own souls and the painful legacy of racism in America.

I invite you to join me and other strugglers in growing our racial consciousness, healing our own racism, and training in becoming anti-racist allies. 

We will meet each Thursday evening via Zoom to share our stories and our struggles, our pain and our hope. In between our meetings, we will take part in the 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge, inspired by Eddie Moore and adapted by many churches,where we will read, watch, listen to something each day,and be invited to reflect, engage, and act more consciously.

If you are struggling to know how to respond to the events of the past week and the underlying racism , with the complex mix of feelings and uncomfortable truths that can rage within after a week like this . . .

I invite you to join me and others for an honest, searching conversation about where we are and where we feel convicted and stirred to do more.

Email me to let me know of your interest and I will respond with  a Zoom link and password.  Feel free to invite others who may be searching for a place to process and for direction.

There is so much to grieve. Whether it's one huge loss, or a thousand small disappointments, ruptures, and hurts. It could be the loss of a beloved, a change of relationship, the death of a long-held dream, the slow diminishment of our soul. Not to mention, our collective anguish over the state of affairs in our families, our democracy and our planet. It's all enough to break your heart.  

And yet, our culture often pushes us instead to deny the pain, distract or numb ourselves, just get over and on with it. But we can't and we don't. Not without great cost to ourselves and our collective well-being. We have to grieve things through. And Lent is a good time to tell the truth about all that is killing us and to grieve our wounds, in anticipation of the healing and new life promised in resurrection.  

I invite you to come away from your own distractions to the peace and quiet of Amerson House for a time of prayer and reflection in the companioning presence of other seekers. Through guided reflection with scripture and other sacred texts, a nourishing meal, meditative walking, journaling, creative expression, ritual, and silent meditation, you are invited to give space and voice to the wounds and burdens you bear, and to experience the grace of release in the safety of sacred space and community.

Cost:  $35 ($25 for St. Bart’s members) - includes lunch and materials.
