WISE ARTS FOR THE SOUL

Wise Art of Midrash
Four sessions of 90 minutes held weekly beginning
Monday 20 September 2021 at 19:00 (AEDT)

Tikkun olam refers to the Jewish imperative to engage in acts which heal the world’s wounds. Midrash contributes towards such healing, where we enter into the scenes and lives of biblical texts, in order to portray the silences and voice that which is silenced. You do not need to be a poet, writer or artist. Just come with your imagination and the desire to foster healing.

Practical: Each session will have active participation with the use of breakout rooms. A max of 12 participants with three facilitators means you get personal feedback.

Dates: Monday evening 19:00 (AEDT)

20 September, 27 September, 4 October and 11 October 2021.

Invitation to Silence: Meditation and Creation

Friday Afternoons, September 3 - October 22, 2021

4.00-4.45PM. AEST

Offered by the Australian Network for Spiritual Direction facilitated by a variety of members

We continue to acknowledge the First Nations people of the Australian continent and move into silence for 20 minutes. The opening and closing of sessions is accompanied by music, a short opening text about meditation, and a prayer or blessing.

Over this series, we will move into our sitting with a brief body scan, breath awareness or heart coherence practice, or a short creative visualisation.

After meditation we will draw on a selection of poems by the Australian poet, Judith Wright, known for her deep love of the Australian landscape and the meditative beauty of some of her poetry.

For more details and zoom information, check the ANSD website https://ansd.org.au

Judith Keller will lead the series and she can be contacted on: kellsull@ozemail.com.au

Blossoming in the Desert

Silent Retreat for Advent Online

5th - 10th December 2021 
 

Facilitated by Madeline Duckett rsm and Robyn Fitzgerald 

This Advent, we will walk the path taught to us by John the Baptist who had learned to empty himself so completely, to be "empty and bare as the desert"  in which he lived, and where he discovered and enjoyed's God's birthing within himself. In the subtle beauty and the colourful hues of the silence of the desert, we will create the necessary quiet to prepare our hearts for the birthing of the Word, personally and communally. 

The cost of the retreat is $350.00and includes daily teachings, guided meditations and spiritual direction. Recordings of the material will be made available each evening. A deposit of $100.00 is encouraged by the Oct 8th, with final payment of $250.00 due November 8th.

You are warmly invited to contact Robyn Fitzgerald at robfitz65@gmail.com for further information.
