Eremos 2021 Program Calendar

Eremos’ January to June 2021 Program Calendar

Unfolding: Being Present to Life

As 2020 has progressed, most of us have ridden a roller-coaster of
experiences and emotions. In the midst of all that is changing in our world, and all that we feel about it, how can we lessen our anxiety and deepen our peace with what is unfolding at any given moment?

Journey with Eremos into 2021 as we explore how being more fully present can help us find peace, hope, and possibilities in our lives, no matter what unfolds each day.

We hope your heart is called to join us for many of these events.
