Nationally known retreat leader and author Suzanne Farnham will share her own experience of contemplation. By reflecting on her years-long path to contemplative practice, she hopes to awaken reflections in others of how God is at work in their lives. Suzanne emphasizes that she speaks not as a scholar but as a person who has strong spiritual yearnings. In other words, she is one of us.Session 1: “The Jesus Prayer and Sacred Words”
Session 2: “From Jung’s Understanding of Consciousness to Cosmic Spirituality”

Rev. Eugene Taylor Sutton. It is published in both English and Spanish.
