Making Sacred Journals

Saturday, April 15

9:30am-11:30am

with Carolyn Stewart

$30 (includes supplies)

We all have an idea of what a journal is and where to buy them. So why make your own? When we choose to make a journal we are creating a special vessel that holds our personal story honoring our life’s journey. A Sacred Journal is where we can dive below the surface and explore the inner depths. Using simple bookmaking techniques and tools, we will construct our journals. No previous bookmaking experience is necessary. Materials will be provided along with some embellishments but feel free to bring embellishments that are personal to you (buttons, laces, ribbons, pictures, etc). Participants will leave with a journal made by their own hands, journaling ideas, and a feeling of accomplishment.

The Teachings of Meher Baba

The Silent Master

Saturday, May 6

9:30am-noon

with Patrick Murphy Welage (Retired Professor of Theology, Philosophy, and Theatre Arts at Xavier University)

$40 (without CEU's)

We will explore the teachings of Meher Baba of India (1894-1969), who claimed, “I have come not to teach but to awaken.” Baba maintained silence for the last 44 years of his life, yet he traveled the world to spread his message of love and to bring together all religions “like beads on a string.” Baba also gave the message of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” as a directive to his disciples in the 1930’s, long before the Bobby McFerrin song!  

Come learn about this celebrated spiritual master and what he has in common with St. Francis!
