Compassion is a necessity, not a luxury. Without it, humanity cannot survive.” (Dalai ama)
Compassion can change a heart, change a life, change a world. You are invited to explore the depth of the many-layered components of compassion, the central quality of the life and teachings of Jesus. The retreat is an opportunity to expand and deepen your understanding of compassion from both a personal and professional perspective. You will glean insights for many dimensions including theology, spirituality, science, sociology and psychology. This retreat is offered as a catalyst for a renewed commitment to be a compassionate
presence to yourself and to others who are in the midst of pain and struggle.
(Participants in this retreat are eligible to attend the Boundless Compassion Facilitators Training with Joyce on June 25.)

The book, Boundless Compassion, is an easy read, designed to be used as a daily read and reflection, which can easily be accomplished in 20 minutes per day. Obviously, that may not work for everyone EVERY day, and catching up is allowed. The readings will no doubt promote further thought and you may wish to use a journal to record your questions or reflections. Beginning November 7th, we will come together on Zoom once a week on Sunday afternoon from 4-5 PM to develop a "kinship" of compassion, share insights, and allow the richness of the sharing to be absorbed. The Zoom gatherings will meet from November 7th through December 12th. My further interest in the power of compassion developed through attending a week long workshop with the author in Atchison, Kansas, participating in compassion and prayer groups locally with her, and training as a Boundless Compassion Facilitator in Schuyler, Nebraska. Feel free to share information with friends or colleagues who may also appreciate the enrichment this gathering will offer.

Advent Weekend SoulCollage® Retreat
Now I Become Myself

402-432-9479
Registration deadline: Nov. 8
Now I Become Myself is a back-to-basics SoulCollage® retreat opportunity to “stand still, to be here (May Sarton),” to become a compassionate explorer of our soul. We become visual storytellers as we discover what is conscious, less conscious, lovable, and irritating, beautiful, and shadowy in ourselves, our community, and our world. Compassion will be the lens through which we create and share during this first weekend of Advent. Beginners to advanced students of SoulCollage® are welcome. We never stop learning and becoming! If you have a collection of cards organized by suits and/or have created any of the transpersonal cards, we will have an opportunity for show-and-tell. For those who have created cards but have not considered creating a deck according to the SoulCollage® suits, this retreat will give ideas.
