Most often we approach our sacred story in the context of liturgy. There we hear excerpted passages outside their original context. In bible study we also consider one book of Scripture at a time, taken apart from its greater narrative flow. What if we gathered up these shiny bits of Scripture and thematically put them together? By putting them together, we are able to come to appreciate their integrity as the sacred authors did. This retreat will attempt to do that from the perspective of five important biblical ideas:

•  Follow the Leader: Biblical Models of Leadership
•  You’ve Got a Friend: The Nature of Friendship
•  Seeing the Forest: Trees as Characters in the Bible
•  The Wisdom Quest: How the Faithful Just Say No
• Subversive Memories: Women as Biblical Disrupters

The life’s work of St. Ignatius of Loyola serves as a good foundation for this workshop.  St. Ignatius engaged in Holy Listening to bring the Word of God to the common people.  In this workshop the facilitators will use teachings, activities, and reflection to guide participants in connecting with their own individual experiences of Holy Listening.  Participants will learn how to practice this gift for both the challenges and successes of their lives.

Participants will practice intuitively listening to their own hearts and bodies through reflection, conversation, and prayerful movement.  In the morning, Sr. Annie Killian, OP, will offer brief talks on the Christian tradition of contemplative listening which will lead into a unique experience of conversations in the Spirit.

In the afternoon, all will be invited to move through St. Dominic’s Nine Ways of Prayer.  These are a series of bodily poses with guided meditation and song.  There are modifications to these poses for those who are unable to maintain the poses of St. Dominic.  These poses are optional, so if you are unable to participate in the poses, you may still receive benefit from the meditation and song.  You may bring a mat or a towel if you would like.
