We need to fail, to fall, to jump
into the central mystery of our own existence,
or we will have no way of finding our true path.
Sunday, June 13, 2010 • 4:00 - 6:15 pm
The ego and the soul are led in very different ways, creating different lifestyles, and bearing different fruit. In this event, Fr. Richard Rohr will explore the significant difference between being ego-driven and being soul-drawn.
What are the qualities of an ego-centric life?
What does a soul-drawn life look like?
How do we move from one to the other?
Join Fr. Richard to discover your own "threshold of transformation,"
the primary doorway through which you pass to reach your authentic, best self,
and the place where you truly encounter God.

Before we had modern novels, psychology, and theology, people told spiritual truths through myths and stories. In the West, our classic myth is Homer’s Odyssey. To last 2,700 years, this great work is clearly mining from a deeper level of soul.
In this webcast, Richard Rohr will share themes and metaphors from The Odyssey that clearly speak to people today, of our own obstacles, and of the call to “a further journey” beyond the conquering of Troy and sailing across dark waters to defeat enemies. What is this further journey, and to what does it invite all of us?
You will see that old myths are not old at all! Although Homer was writing from the male perspective and we offer this as wisdom for males on Father’s Day, women and youth will also find this material very exciting for, and a catalyst for reframing, their lives.

As human beings we are called to participate in the liberation of the whole Body of Creation. Learn to see the Body of God with new eyes, be in solidarity with all of creation, and live sustainably in community.
