Wednesday, August 11TH. 12:00PM - 1:00PM
Eremos Summer Interlude
Rev. Doug Fritzsche on Apocalypse
Eremos invites you to step back from daily distractions and the stresses of life for an hour to experience our Summer Interlude Series. Each facilitator will share a practice, wisdom, or an experience based upon what’s unfolding in their lives right now (in honor of our 2021 theme: Unfolding: Being Present to Life).
THURSDAY, AUGUST 12TH, 7:00PM – 8:30PM
Returning to the World with Paula D’Arcy
Join us for a conversation with author and internationally recognized spiritual leader Paula D’Arcy as she helps us helps us think about this new territory. There is no going back. Paula invites us forward with our heart as our guide – taking the gifts of wisdom we’ve gained these past 18 months and leaving behind what no longer serves us. Leave inspired to re-emerge at your own pace, wiser and stronger than before.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 21ST, 10:00AM TO NOON
Behold And See with Elizabeth Ann Gates
Come explore with Elizabeth Ann Gates the art of looking for what is life giving through poetry, writing, attention-shifting activities, and discussion. Different from seeking problems to solve, this way of paying attention is about seeing opportunities to create something new, perhaps even to unveil and be part of a new creation. Please join us!
Wednesday, August 25TH. 12:00PM - 1:00PM

Poetry of the Present with Cathey Capers
Join facilitator Cathey Capers for one or all of these quarterly 2-hour sessions. She will be attuned for what is alive in our community and poems that offer insight or an invitation into Presence.

Poetry in community gives us the opportunity to reconnect with our authentic selves, to be witnessed by others, and to bear witness for others.
