SUMMARY:Group Spiritual Direction 2024-2025 with Cathy Rosensteel (In-Person & Online)
DESCRIPTION:Group Spiritual Direction is a process in which people gather together on a regular basis to assist one another in an ongoing awareness of God (Spirit\, Source\, Creator\, whatever your name is) in all of life. Participants in the group are seeking support for their responsiveness to God and they agree to support others in that same responsiveness. This contemplative approach to spiritual direction is grounded in the model that originated at the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation in Washington\, DC. . \nJoining the group is a deep commitment to one’s spiritual journey and to the other participants in the group. Three conditions are essential to the life of the group. Members must agree to: \n· Commit themselves to an honest relationship with God\, by whatever name called.\n· Participate wholeheartedly in the group process through consistent attendance and prayerful listening and response.\n· Open their spiritual journeys for consideration by others. \nThe group is limited to five participants and is facilitated by Cathy Rosensteel. The group will meet both in-person at the Well and on Zoom as noted below. \nCathy’s group has space for one new person this year. If you are feeling urged to give Group Spiritual Direction a try\, please call the Well at 410-296-9355. We will connect you with Cathy so that you can discuss your interest with her. \nDATES (In-Person at the Well): Saturdays – 9/28\, 10/12\, 11/9/24 and 3/8\, 4/12\, 5/10/25 \nDATES (Online via Zoom): Saturdays – 12/14/24 and 1/11\, 2/8/25 \nTIME: 8:30 – 11:00 AM \nCOST: $250 \nLOCATION: Well for the Journey – 120 W.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: Journeying with Mary & Elizabeth: The Blessings of an Advent Community (In-Person Program)
DESCRIPTION:This program is now at capacity.  We have created a wait list just in case someone is unable to attend. \nA couple of testimonials from last year’s Advent Retreat facilitated by Lorie Conway… \n“This was one of the best\, if not the best\, one day retreat I’ve ever attended. The setting\, the material itself\, the readings\, the small groups\, the simple activities\, the private time were in perfect balance. The book is full of riches; Lorie had to make difficult choices and did so beautifully. The stories that were not chosen this time await their turn in future Advent retreats. I hope Lorie will lead them.” \n– Mary Beth\n \n“This retreat was perfect for me. It settled me into Advent\, slowed me down\, and created a space for introspection and reflection. I loved it!!!” – Judy Wright\n  \nIn the Christian tradition\, Advent is the season of waiting and preparing for Jesus to be born. It’s a time of great anticipation! No one was filled with more anticipation than Mary\, the mother of Jesus. In her frightening position as an unwed pregnant teenager\, Mary reaches out for help to her cousin\, Elizabeth\, who is also expecting a baby under some rather unusual circumstances. \nIn Elizabeth\, Mary finds blessing\, acceptance\, and sanctuary. In Mary\, Elizabeth finds joy\, companionship\, and support. As Mary and Elizabeth await the arrival of their babies\, they form a loving community that helps alleviate some of the fear\, uncertainty\, and anxiety of their unknown futures and that of their children. \nAlthough our circumstances are different than those in first century Palestine\, our longing and need for community is just as potent as we wonder and worry about the unknown future of our hurting world. With Mary and Elizabeth as guides for our journey\, we will gather in loving and sacred community\, listening deeply for the blessings of the season in the midst of our unknown. \nYou are invited to join us for this Advent day of retreat in sacred community at the Well. Our time together will include contemplative spiritual practices\, reflection\, periods of silence\, and community sharing. A simple lunch of soup and bread will be provided. \nDATE: Saturday\, December 14\, 2024 \nTIME: 9:30AM – 4:00PM \nCOST: Early Bird Discount (purchased prior to 11/11) – $60; Regular Cost (purchased 11/11/24 and after) – $70. Lunch is included. \nLOCATION: Well for the Journey – 120 W. Seminary Ave\, Lutherville-Timonium\, MD 21093 \nREGISTRATION is at capacity; you can join our wait list here. \nCANCELLATION POLICY: Please read our cancellation policy\, here. \nIMPORTANT: You will receive an email from lorie@wellforthejourney.org at least 24 hours in advance of the start of your program.
