In the Garden: January 2024
Monthly Offerings
1/13 - Spiritual Care Workshop: Embodying the Cycles of the Year
Date: Saturday, January 13th
Time: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST
In this workshop, you will learn how to organize your time around the cycles and seasons of the year. We’ll explore the themes of the four seasons and of the moon cycles. We’ll contemplate our own relationships to time. We’ll hold space for the rhythms and cycles of our bodies. And we’ll map out the year with these earth-based, body-based rhythms in mind. This session is perfect for people who feel like their current way of viewing time is too linear, too rigid and out-of-touch with the deeper rhythms they know are possible. It’s also for folks who’ve been leaning into practices of seasonal living and want to give a little more thought and intention to what this practice means in 2024. You’ll need to bring your journal and your calendar to this workshop.
1/30 - Group Spiritual Direction
Date: Tuesday, January 30th
Time: 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM EST
This contemplative space will feature reflections on seeds, new beginnings, fresh starts and possibilities. Following personal reflection time, each person will be invited to share what’s stirring within them. We will then go around the virtual circle and share how we are each hearing and noticing the holy in what each individual shares. As a note, sharing is not forced or required; you can always pass. This is great opportunity to slow down and reflect at the top of a new year.
