Adult Class
Sundays, 9:00AM
In the Chapel and on Zoom
Join us as we explore the film series “Marching from Pain to Possibility” on May 1, 8, 22, and 29. Click here to watch the series trailer.
These films are invitations to enter into a journey of making sense of our deepest desires that comes from pain and woundedness. The discussion that follows each film offers ways to reflect and find that place of pain, and at the same time, that place of wholeness and healing. Practices will be suggested as invitations to examine both our wounds and the wounds of others and see how we might bring peace and healing. The desert is a place void of easy fixes, but it can also be where we find who we truly are.
On May 15, the 9:00 class will feature discussion of mental health during the pandemic.
