Like the seasons of the Earth that shift and change in nature, our lives of faith are also cyclical and invite us to “PAUSE,”
breathe and learn from each season and nature. The first session, of the virtual micro-retreat series, will invite participants
to be attentive to the essential need self-compassion in navigating the blessing of RESILIENCE during this time of pandemic.

From the “ordinary” time of NOW during this unprecedented experience of covid-liminality through
the anticipated promise of Easter HOPE, these reflective and engaging sessions will invite an appreciation
of each “season” as it mirrors the natural changing seasons and the cycles of faith. Sessions will include an invitation
to carry the focus into further reflection as personal practice. Join us for one or all sessions.

Saturday, November 7, 10 a.m. to 12 noon. The zoom link will be sent to you via email on Friday, Nov. 6.

$25/person. Registration deadline is Thursday, Nov. 5 at 4 p.m.
