You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope. ― Thomas Merton

Circle of Light: Group Spiritual Accompaniment

Are you looking for nourishment in these dark times? Journey through winter and spring with a small group of spiritual explorers. Slow down and become aware of how Spirit (however you name this great mystery) is working in your life and the lives of others. Each session will include a contemplative opening (poetry, music, meditation, etc.), times of silence and times of sharing. The group will serve as a safe container of deep listening.

Sacred Ground Chicago’s Bridget Purdome will be facilitating this program from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. CT on Zoom on the following dates: Mondays, February 16th, March 16th, April 20th, and May 18th.

Consult not your fears, but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern not yourself with what you tried and failed in, but what it is still possible to do. Now is the time to put aside past and present setbacks and failures and look with confidence to the new day called tomorrow. —Pope John XXIII
