SUMMARY:Cathedral Commons Forum: Undaunted Joy!
DESCRIPTION:WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 24\, 6:45–8:15 P.M.\, in person in Bloedel Hall and online via Zoom \n \n\n\n\nDoes joy just seem too difficult to come by these days? Does it seem irresponsible or naïve? Maybe you don’t feel like you can be joyful\, don’t know how to\, or don’t deserve to? \n\n\n\nLocal author Shemaiah Gonzalez shares stories from her new book Undaunted Joy: The Revolutionary Act of Cultivating Delight. In her collection of short essays on defiant joy\, Shemaiah reflects on how she gradually learned to see joy not as an indulgence but as a necessity—a way of life and the fruit of faith. Shemaiah will led us in conversation to notice God in the mundane and magnificent. \nOnce you start looking for joy\, you might start finding it everywhere. It’s time to live joyously. \nLearn more here. Join online using this Zoom link. \nProgram is free; optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($8/adult; $25/family max.)

SUMMARY:Crossing Thresholds as Sacred Journey: Wisdom School Plenary
DESCRIPTION:OPENING PLENARY\nWEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 17\, 2025\, 6:45–8:15 p.m.\nin person in Bloedel Hall and online via Zoom \nWisdom School 2025-26 Open Plenary with The Very Rev. Steven L. Thomason \nIn the practice of medicine\, the liminal point marks the bounds of perception—below it\, one does not experience a discernible physiological or psychological response. In mythology\, the crossing of a threshold marks the protagonist’s journey from routine (unaware) to sacred (new awareness). The ancient tradition of religious pilgrimage takes similar shape. The “in-between” space is often marked by uncertainty or a sense of suspension; one must muster courage\, vulnerability\, and a willingness to let go of what was in order to embrace the new beginning. Sacred rituals and practices help us orient to these transformative moments so that\, even in the routine\, we see the sacred. \nProgram is free; optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($8/adult; $25/family max.) Register here to participate via Zoom. \n

We’ll base our reflections on Bishop Mariann Budde’s 2023 book How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith. As always\, there will be plenty of time for connecting with new people and deepening existing friendships\, as well as exploring the beautiful setting. Participants will have the opportunity to create art\, try out new spiritual practices\, and share their stories with one another. \nRegistration will open in late February 2025 on a first-come\, first-served basis. Now that St. Andrew’s House and Harmony Hill have combined to form Sacred Waters\, more space is available for our use. We can now accommodate up to 35 people. \nMore information here.

SUMMARY:Walking the Emmaus Road: A Journey from Lament to Hope
DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY\, NOVEMBER 9\, 2024\, 9:30 A.M.–12:30 P.M.\, in person in Bloedel Hall and online via Zoom. \nFACILITATED BY DEBIE THOMAS \nThough Christians are called to be an “Easter people\,” a people of good news\, joy\, and resurrection\, we are also called to live and speak with authenticity in a world that is not yet what it should be. Sometimes\, that call requires us to walk the Emmaus Road\, an ancient road that begins with lament before it carries us to hope. Neither despair nor whining\, lament is an honest cry from our heart to the heart of a God who weeps over the world’s brokenness\, and then offers us a grounded\, reality-based hope that does not require denial. In this half-day workshop\, we will explore lament as a healing\, justice-oriented practice that will help us find our way to the fullness of resurrection hope. Our time together will include meditation\, teaching\, journaling\, and conversation. \nRegistration required. Fee: $25
