“The Path of Desire: Adventures in Spirituality”
Led by Lisa Fullam; sponsored by New Ways Ministry.
"You have made us for Yourself, Almighty God, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You," Augustine wrote. Deep in Christian tradition rests the conviction that we are created with a holy thirst for God. This retreat will explore spiritualities of desire, spiritualities that seek God in the longings of our hearts and the yearnings of our imaginations.
Our companions in the tradition will be Ignatius of Loyola, Julian of Norwich, and our reflections on how God has called us, and is calling us, in and through our own desires. A soundtrack of rock music will accompany our pilgrimage into the spiritualities of desire.
Our time together will combine talks, small group discussions, silent meditation, communal prayer, and socializing.
