“Finding Peace Here and Now: How Ignatian Spirituality Leads Us to Healing and Wholeness” – A Book Study with Author, Eric A. Clayton (In-Person Program)

These days, peace can feel elusive. Stress in our work, strain in our relationships, headlines that breed fear and anxiety-how can we even hope for peace in our days? The first step is to gather as a community to pray, reflect, share and dream.

We invite you to a book study to do exactly that. Facilitated by award-winning author, Eric A. Clayton, we’ll examine Clayton’s latest book, Finding Peace Here and Now: How Ignatian Spirituality Leads Us to Healing and Hope. Together, we’ll mine the richness of the Ignatian tradition-a spiritual path that invites us to find God in all things and all people-and we’ll use guided meditations and exercises from Clayton’s book to help us find the seeds of peace buried within ourselves and each other.

Join us for a relaxing summer evening of wine, cheese, and community. It is not necessary to have read the book in advance. Come prepared to simply reflect and share.

Register early! The first ten registrants will receive a FREE copy of the book, hand-delivered by Eric during the program.
