“I think one of the best things we can do, I think, in developing our own life of prayer is practicing simply paying attention. Actually look and consider and spend time looking at something in creation, looking at it and marveling at it, wondering at it, and allowing its deep mystery to come to you and change you and reveal something of a mystery of God the Creator. I think this is a wonderful way of deepening our relationship with God.”
– Br. Geoffrey Tristram, “Pick something in God’s creation to consider today…”, Growing a Rule of Life, March 10, 2019 Society of Saint John the Evangelist

Don’t forget that the organizational meeting of Listening to the Blues will be held Thursday evening, 7 May, at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Boulder from 6:30-8:00 p.m. in the St. Paul room on the second floor of the Hall. If you plan to attend, please send me an email in advance; I’d like to have an idea of the numbers.
Listening to Parenthood and Listening to Uncertainty have been postponed until further notice. New times will be announced here. Email or call (720.346.8420) me with any questions. Thanks.
Parenthood brings joy and wonder. But it also brings challenges and questions. Just when you feel like you understand some things about it, everything changes again. It’s not easy.
Can you imagine listening to parenthood? What would you hear? If you took time to clarify your expectations of being a parent in the company of other parents, could you learn more about yourself? Could you find greater trust in yourself as you parent your children?
Listening to Parenthood is a group that spends time in silence, in sharing, in questioning and in reflecting. It is not a “how to be a better parent” class; it is a time to let the role of parenthood speak and be heard in the hope that new discoveries about its pleasures and hardships can be made.
There will be an organizational meeting on Wednesday, 15 April from 7-9 p.m. in the 4-5 Classroom at St. Ambrose. We will discuss the time of the meetings, the possibility of separating the parents according to the ages of their children, the need for childcare during the meeting times, as well as the group process.
The fee will be $25 per participant per session after the first meeting.
If you have questions or plan to attend, please email Anne or call her at 720.346.8420.
