- Lectio
Divina and Centering Prayer -- offered by Eunice
Schroeder, D.Min. Sacred
Journey Ministries
This is a retreat where you will learn two prayer forms that can
enhance anyone’s
spiritual practice. Lectio Divina is a First Century Christian
contemplative
practice that began in the desert of Egypt and was adopted again by St.
Benedict. Lectio Divina uses deep meditation on sacred text to enhance
our personal spiritual experiences. Centering Prayer is a prayer
form regaining popularity today. Centering Prayer is the practice
of entering the
deepest center of one’s being to rest in God or the Spirit
of Life. Enjoy a contemplative half-day in group prayer and
meditation.

- Centering
Prayer and the Labyrinth Eunice
Schroeder, D.Min. 360-695-4965
or 503-233-2026 Sacred
Journey Ministries
This workshop combines two
ancient spiritual practices, both of which are gaining adherents in our
time. The metaphor of the spiritual journey -- a spiraling inward --
ties
these two practices together in a powerful experience of a deepening
spiritual
path. This 4-hour workshop can be expanded for those who want even more
background and practice.
Because the 2 Labyrinths
available are portable (24' and 36' in diameter) the program can be
presented
in a very meaningful way in a retreat setting also.
- Mothers
Save
the World, the View from 2020 is a short and powerful book with a
vision long on possibilities and hope. Oralee Stiles takes a sweeping
look back from Mother’s Day in the year 2020 at the actions inspired by
women standing to save the world.
The changes in our values and behaviors began with mothers mourning
together across political and religious divisions, the war deaths of
their children. As they reached out to each other from the depth
of their common sacrificial pain, their hearts opened wide to the
children who were alive but starving. Plans formed to engage an
organized and existing system in distributing the food already
available on the planet to these dying yet living children.
Other mothers saw the possibilities of directing corporate profits to
imaginative projects for the well-being of life. Hope and inspiration
moved people to use their unique skills and resources in innovative
ways to better life for all children. “We all win, when children win”
became the theme.
The book engages the reader in the heart. The captivating possibilities
described in the vision inspire women and men to be creative and
hopeful in living forward with actions that matter.
Read the book online or download the PDF file. It prints on 14
pages. Email Oralee Stiles at MothersSave@aol.com to share
ideas and to order printed copies for $5.
