Francis and Clare:
Meeting God in Space and Time
With Richard Rohr
We will use this sacred time in Assisi to examine Franciscan spirituality precisely as it relates to one's location in place, history, culture, time, and geographical location. Francis and Clare sanctified their moment in space and time, and we can do the same.
Fr. Richard will use the on site location inside the walls of Assisi, Italy to teach how the specific life situation of Francis and Clare in the early 13th Century became the raw material for their journey to God and to their own full humanity. It will consist in two major presentations, and being sent on a walking tour to the sacred spots through this small, holy, and picturesque town.
A bus ride will be provided up to the caves, but if you need a ride down please let us know

The Enneagram: Know Your Number
with Suzanne Stabile
The Enneagram “Know Your Number” is a necessary first step in work with this important spiritual tool. With her concise and practical presentation in this workshop one is able to clearly discover one’s place on the Enneagram. This enlightening discovery then allows the individual to go ever deeper in their understanding of themselves and themselves in relation to God.
