SUMMARY:The Sacred Transmitted - 12/8/24
DESCRIPTION:Stained Glass Windows as Sacred Art\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a presentation\, “The Sacred Transmitted: Stained Glass Windows as Sacred Art” by Aaron Frei\, President of Emil Frei & Associates. Aaron holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in theology from the University of Dallas and is an expert in theology and iconography. He began working at his family’s firm at age 11 and has been involved ever since\, aside from a few years spent in a Cistercian monastery. \n\n\n\nFor those in our Online Community who would like to learn more about the history of the OLA Stained Glass windows\, we invite you to attend the presentation via live stream on our YouTube Channel at the above date and time. In addition\, there will be a link to the digital program in the video description with images and more detailed information. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmil Frei & Associates is a liturgical design studio that specializes in custom stained glass and mosaics. Established in 1898 by Emil Frei Sr.\, the firm is renowned for its artistry. Francis Deck\, an associate of Emil Frei\, designed the stained-glass windows in Our Lady of the Angels Chapel depicting the “Magnificat.” Deck broke away from the traditional stained-glass window design by placing big splashes of magnificent colors and fine line drawings against a backdrop of predominantly neutral grays. The magnificent colors of the windows are reflected differently at different times of the day. \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this special event.

DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\nThis contemplative program invites you to journey through the soulful practice of walking the labyrinth\, guided by Joanna Macy’s Work That Reconnects. Together we’ll explore gratitude\, honoring our pain\, seeing with new eyes\, and moving forward with renewed courage. \n\n\n\nThrough guided exercises\, reflection\, and conversation\, the labyrinth becomes a living metaphor for personal and collective transformation. Weather permitting\, portions will be outdoors\, deepened by the beauty of nature. Gentle walking is included; the program is limited to 10 participants. \n\n\n\nOpen to all\, this sacred space offers clarity\, renewal\, and active hope in the face of uncertainty. No prior experience required. \n\n\n\nOur morning ends at noon\, but you are welcome to bring a lunch and stay for more conversation together on the patio in the St Clare Garden \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Our Presenter \n\n\n\nKaren Bychowski is passionate about guiding others to explore and live out the greatest purpose\, offering both Individual Spiritual Direction (in person and virtual) and Personal Retreat Days. Previous programs at Tau Center have included Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life and Living in Alignment. \n\n\n\nFor nearly 20 years Karen traveled extensively across the United States and around the world\, helping large organizations navigate change as part of her work with a Global Fortune 100 Consulting Company. After prayerful discernment\, she left her corporate job to follow a deeper calling she felt from God. \n\n\n\nKaren completed her training in Spiritual Direction through the Hesychia School of Spiritual Direction and is a Professional Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation.
