Re-connecting Spirituality and Sexuality Series -
Finding the Sacred Wound and the Blessing in Our Stories” at the CSC - Men deeply desire to be integrated and whole. We long to be truly and freely ourselves in each moment. We long to fully live our physical and spiritual nature in every aspect of lives, relationships, in our hearts and in our souls. Yet a great divide exists within many of us between our spiritual and sexual natures. In our second gathering we create a ritual space to uncover and share our own stories. Within our stories is much of what we need to find our way to wholeness. In retracing our paths we may find the way back to ourselves. “Finding the Sacred Wound and the Blessing in Our Stories” is the second in a series of gatherings exploring how men experience themselves as both spiritual and sexual beings. Join other men for a morning of individual reflection, ritual, and small group time designed to foster this important aspect of our journey. – to register please contact jbrabeck@loy.org or his cell phone (773)266-0817.
April 20- 22, 2012
