SUMMARY:What Color Is Your Spirituality? (Online Program)
DESCRIPTION:“Be everything that you are unapologetically; most of you will find out that you are not just one color\, you are a rainbow.” ~ Mridula Singh \nWhat Color Is Your Spirituality? Perhaps\, a question we don’t often ask ourselves. Yet\, our unique answer to such a rhetorical question can be indicative of the path we are on in life. It can speak volumes about the losses we’ve weathered\, the seasons in our relationships and commitments\, and our greatest joys and challenges being alive at this time in history. \nJoin us for a sensory-engaging and soul-nourishing evening\, where a diverse exploration of these themes will unfold in and through color play\, spiritual practices\, and group discussion. With visual-oriented exercises that promote creativity and reflection\, you will be invited to connect spectrums of vivid\, rustic\, and earth-toned colors to the diverse contours of your life story. You will also be invited to center your awareness in the deeper\, spiritual meaning of colors while interpreting them through the seasons of your life and re-envisioning the growth-enhancing experiences of your journeys. \nOur time together will include engagement with storytelling\, playful experimenting with color\, and a meditative exploration of the diversity\, beauty\, and spiritual significance of color. Participants will benefit by cultivating an enhanced and richer understanding of their identity\, the possibilities before them\, and where they perceive they are being called/directed in the present moment and within their lives. \nJoin Gordon for this colorful\, intriguing\, and insightful look at your spirituality from the cool comfort of your home. Please bring along a journal for writing prompts and either colored markers or pencils for some of the program’s exercises. What better way to spend a hot summer evening! \nDATE: Wednesday\, August 14\, 2024 \nTIME: 7:00 – 9:00 PM ET \nCOST: $40 \nLOCATION: ZOOM \nREGISTRATION is required; please register 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.

SUMMARY:Exploring Ecclesiastes through the Art of Vincent Van Gogh (Online Program)
DESCRIPTION:“Vanity of vanities! All is vanity.” The book of Ecclesiastes begins and ends with this proclamation (Ecc. 1:2 and Ecc. 12:8). Between these bookends\, the writer of this Book of Wisdom explores this recurring theme while questioning how one should live when life appears to be both futile and brief. Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? What is the best way to live? . \nJoin us for a unique program that seeks answers to these questions through interpreting the art of Vincent van Gogh. Van Gogh used his passion\, art\, and tireless pursuit of happiness to seek answers to endless questions. Like many of us\, he struggled with day-to-day needs and desires\, and turned to nature\, people\, and God in search of peace. \nCheryl Duvall\, a lifelong artist and Vincent van Gogh enthusiast\, will facilitate this program that involves both passive and active engagement. She will read select passages from Ecclesiastes while simultaneously displaying 27 images from Van Gogh’s vast collection in a stimulating interpretation of this Book of Wisdom. She will share how she first created the connection between her favorite artist and Ecclesiastes in the mid-1990s\, and then planned two different pilgrimages to Arles\, France to further her understanding of when\, where\, how\, and why he painted so many works of art there. \nJoin Cheryl from the cool comfort of your home for an engaging Summer evening of exploration and discussion about using art to uncover deeper meanings to sacred scriptures that challenge us in today’s world. \nDATE: Tuesday\, August 20\, 2024 \nTIME: 7:00 – 8:30 PM ET \nCOST: $30 \nLOCATION: ZOOM \nREGISTRATION is required; please register 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.

Thank you! \nFACILITATOR: Cheryl Duvall \nFACILITATOR BIO: \nCheryl Duvall recently retired from the interior design and architecture industry after 44 glorious years.
