$ Have We Been Here Before? Ancient Wisdom for Days of Disruption (Center for Action and Contemplation)
May 3 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
At this live 90-minute online gathering, CAC Faculty Carmen Acevedo Butcher, Ph.D., James Finley, Ph.D., Fr. Richard Rohr, and guest teacher Kaitlin Curtice, will show you how ancient contemplative wisdom and traditions may support us in times of social, political, and spiritual instability.
Learn from CAC Faculty about the wisdom of the early Christians, such as the desert mothers and fathers, and their practices of silence, discernment, and inner freedom. Guest teacher Kaitlin Curtice broadens the lens by integrating Christian and Indigenous spirituality as a Potawatomi woman. You’ll explore a diverse lineage of ancient contemplative teachers and traditions, including:
- The Beguines and their communal, embodied spirituality.
- The transformative teachings of John of the Cross on navigating darkness and change.
- The radical simplicity and compassion of St. Francis of Assisi.
You’ll leave this online gathering with perspectives that may expand your faith, reveal new paths, and create grounding. Whether you join live or watch the replay, uncover an embodied daily spirituality that offers solidarity for an uncertain future.
