SET ASIDE THIS TIME & SPACE

YOU’RE IN FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL
Solitude and Compassion meditation will be facilitated by Colleen, based on the book by Gus Gordon. Different compassion exercises and styles of mindfulness and meditation will be offered each week.
Each session will open with an exercise of settling in and easing into awareness, and close with prayers of loving-kindness, forgiveness, letting go (casting our cares upon God), or similar themes.
Participants are welcomed and encouraged to express interests in specific styles of meditation and/or contemplative prayer, to be integrated.
PURCHASING THE BOOK
The book is optional – not required for participation in this series. However, if anyone is interested in obtaining a copy of Solitude & Compassion by Gus Gordon, it is available in both in digital “Kindle” and “Paperback” formats for purchase on Amazon.com.
