Now at capacity.  UPDATE: Due to cancellations, a few spots have opened up. Please email Dean Thomason: sthomason@saintmarks.org

FACILITATED BY THE REV. SR. MIRIAM ELIZABETH BLEDSOE, OSH

In a world of constant commotion, what does it mean to practice silence? In a culture of shifting change, how do we practice stillness? In the crowds of everyday life, where do we find solitude? While silence, stillness and solitude have long been foundations of living for those in monastic life, such practices are available to everyone. These wisdom practices can open in us hospitable space to welcome the Christ Child and bear hope into the world. The Rev. Sr. Miriam Elizabeth Bledsoe from The Order of Saint Helena, an Episcopal monastic order for women in South Carolina, will join us in exploring how these ancient practices can shape our lives for bearing hope in a modern world.
