SUMMARY:Contemplative Writing with Sr Glenna Czachor
DESCRIPTION:A mindful practice of meditation through the written word\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this Event\n\n\n\n\nOnline registration one week prior is required\, with a donation of your choosing \n\n\n\nThe Lenten practice of repentance may sound familiar…but what does it really mean for us? The biblical tradition of repentance is less about paying attention to our sinfulness and more about focusing on our lives as we seek a change of mind or actions. True acts of repentance will help us think differently and turn from what we think is our path\, to what God is really calling forth for us. \n\n\n\nOne way to get in touch with new ways of thinking and being is through the practice of Contemplative Writing\, a mindfulness practice through the written word. Engaging in a practice of focused journaling using writing prompts\, Contemplative Writing can support the process of self-discovery and foster connection with your inner spirit. \n\n\n\nOther benefits: \n\n\n\n\nBoosts your confidence and calms your inner-critic\n\n\n\nOffers new perspectives on your life journey\n\n\n\nAllows for freedom and creativity\n\n\n\nRelieves stress and addresses deep-set emotions\n\n\n\n\nContemplative writing is a simple process and requires no special skills. It is a gentle process of self-reflection and soul-searching. Please come ready to pray and reflect\, to write\, and to interact with others. All materials will be provided….however\, feel free to bring your own journal. \n\n\n\n\n\nSr. Glenna Czachor\, OSF is a Wheaton Franciscan Sister with more than 25 years experience in group facilitation and retreat leadership\, specializing in contemplative prayer and worship\, scripture study\, and creative spirituality. She holds a Masters of Pastoral Studies from the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago\, and is a graduate of the Hesychia School of Spiritual Direction of Tuscon\, AZ. She has studied leadership and improvisational skills with the legendary vocal artist and motivational speaker\, Bobby McFerrin.
