The Wisdom Way of Christian Spirituality

Contemplative Enrichment Day

Saturday, April 5, 2025
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (ET)
Rev. Henry Schoenfield

Wisdom is at the contemplative headwaters of every major religious tradition, including Christianity. Wisdom takes many shapes and focuses on human transformation more than on a set of beliefs. The Christian Wisdom path is about learning to listen to the Divine within – attending to our interconnectedness with a larger whole. This kind of listening requires that we know ourselves deeply. This retreat will explore the core tenets of the Christian Wisdom Tradition and Jesus as our Wisdom Teacher through the lineage of Cynthia Bourgeault.

This program will be offered both in-person and online via Zoom. Information on how to access the program on Zoom will be sent to participants in advance.

This program will include a morning and an afternoon session of Centering Prayer.

Offering: $75, includes lunch

Scholarships are available, please contact Mike Smoolca at cce@holyfamilyretreat.org for more information.
