August

EARTH CAFE: WHAT IF THERE WERE NO MOSQUITOES
August 1 • Friday
3:00-5:00 PM
Marywood - Emmaus Building
Facilitator: Roselyn Heil, FSPA
What does it mean to be a member of the community of life? Earth café is an opportunity for dialogue about the larger questions of life in an informal setting. This is not a book club or a place to listen to experts, but a place for you to share your journey. Come, ponder and share together. We'll choose a topic for next time.
Fee: Donation


DRUMMING
August 6 • Wednesday
7:00-9:00 PM
Facilitators: Gray Wolf and Roselyn Heil, FSPA
Holy Family Church
Drumming is an ancient prayer of "dancing" in step with the pulse of Mother Earth, reminding us that we are One Body with all God's creation. Through drumming we can break through separations and build bridges toward relationships with all that God has made. Bring drums and shakers if you have them.
Fee: Donation.

1:00-3:00 PM
Marywood - Emmaus Building

SOME WAYS TO SUSTAIN A PRAYER LIFE
August 19 • Tuesday
10:00 AM - 2:30 PM or
4:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Marywood Emmaus Building
Facilitator: Marla Lang, FSPA
We all crave a relationship with God that doesn't "peter out," give out or end. Yet, what are some approaches to a regular and healthy prayer life that sustain us in today's complex world, in the nitty-gritty world of our everyday lives, deaths, joys, struggles, and celebrations? You are encouraged to bring along an object that assists you in your prayer, a favorite prayer book, no matter how tattered, and/or an art piece of yours.
Please bring along a friend and a bag meal to share.
Fee: Donation.

EARTH ETHICS II (see also July 23)
August 28 • Thursday
4:00-6:00 PM
Marywood Lakeside, weather permitting
Facilitator: Roselyn Heil, FSPA
When economics, legal loopholes and personal desires provide the basis of our decisions and actions, we create fear. Developing a philosophy of living, of behavioral principles can enable people of all walks of life to come together toward a renewal of humanity and a healthy relationship with Earth. Come, be a part of awakening toward ethical living. We will explore these points as we wrestle with ethical Earth living. Feel free to bring a picnic supper and linger later along the shore of Trout Lake to absorb the mystery of God's creation.
Fee: Donation.
