Announcements
Eternal Echoes – Celtic Reflections on our Yearning to Belong will be the focus of a new Tuesday morning conversation starting August 18 at 10:15 AM on Zoom. Everyone is welcome to join in. From the cover: There is a divine restlessness in the human heart, our eternal echo of longing that lives deep within us and never lets us settle for what we have or where we are. In this exquisitely crafted and inspirational book, John O’Donohue explores the most basic of human desires – the desire to belong. It’s a desire that constantly draws us toward new possibilities of self-discovery, friendship, and creativity.
Thursdays: Safely Distance Silent Meditation on the veranda led by Celeste Pennington and Carol McPhee Norton. For more information please contact Celeste Pennington at 805-771-8974
