A mother-daughter team set out (nearly a century ago) to see if the theories of Dr. Carl G. Jung might be measured in some way.  The result, The Myers-Briggs Type Inventory, has become widely used around the world to help people work and live together with more appreciation and understanding that all have different gifts.  It is in no way a measure of capability.  It tells us, rather, the preferences each of us have for taking in information, processing it,…

The Way of Love is a way of life. More than a program or curriculum, it is a return to the ancient pathways and Rules of Life that followers of Jesus have observed for centuries.

If we hope to…

It’s a must see…

Using drama enables us to experience the Biblical narrative in a deeper way and to discover new perspectives and insights.  Join us for a morning of co-creative exploration.  Group members will be invited to take roles in a spontaneous enactment of a story from the Gospel.  The focus is not on performance but on exploration of the characters and message of the story recreated in the here and now.  After the enactment group members will have an opportunity to share…

In this First Saturday workshop, we will use the Stations of the Cross created by sculptor Chloe White to go deeper into our experience of the last few hours of Jesus’ mortal life. Through a process of meditation combined with creative expression in art or writing, we will allow the Spirit to use these astonishing and archetypal images to reinspire and heal the deepest parts of ourselves. Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether you have previously connected with the Stations, and regardless of…
