About the Event
You’ve probably seen the iconic British signs that read, “Keep Calm and Carry On” and their witty variations like, “Keep Calm and Have a Cupcake,” “Keep Calm and Harry (Potter) On,” or “Keep Calm and Call Mom.”
During this weekend, we will explore questions like: Is it possible and desirable to “Keep Calm and Carry On” in the midst of our chaotic world and lives? How might we connect with a deeper sense of inner peace and stillness in these devastating times? How might we develop greater awareness, courage and compassion to care for others and our climate? Where are we finding inspiration?
Our time together will include contemplative practices, time in nature, group sharing, individual reflection and more.
Dates: August 22nd - 24th. (We will begin with dinner on Friday and close with lunch on Sunday.)
Location: Emmaus, South Bend, Indiana
Facilitator: Bridget Purdome, Spiritual Director
Suggested Offering: $150 (All offerings will support the house and grounds at Emmaus.)
