Bloom Where You’re Planted
Especially for Moms! Via Zoom with Ruth Heine “Spirituality is seeded, germinates, sprouts and blossoms in the mundane. It is to be found and nurtured in the smallest of daily activities” (Thomas Moore) Mothering in all ways can be an indescribable blessing. It can also be full of constant demands leaving little time to connect with yourself and with God. You’re invited to come and explore a few ways of nurturing some simple spiritual practices to awaken your awareness of God’s presence and movement in your life. Learn how to create some intentional space with habits that can work for your unique personality and situation. We will look at various tools that can help you bloom right where you’re planted to keep your spirit nourished as you grow in God’s love. If you plan to attend with young ones who might be in the background and or need to be with you just let us know when you register, and Ruth will accommodate the possibility of that in her planning. Wednesday May 5 (10:00-11:30 a.m.) # 14280 $25.
