You are invited to attend Conversations about Our Benedictine Life – Humility. These events offer opportunities to talk with others about the value of humility, and to learn more about these values as features of Benedictine spirituality. Each gathering will be a time to share reflections on our ideas, experiences and beliefs about humility, Benedict’s teaching, and what spiritual gifts are to be discovered in a life where humility is central.
No previous experience is required.

The gatherings will be between 60 and 90 minutes in length. They will include time for reflections, for the reading of short pieces on humility from the Rule of Benedict and other authors, and conversations about the gifts and challenges of practices of humility.
This program is not a series, but we are offering multiple date and speaker options.
