Conversations about Our Benedictine Life – Stability

Stability

You are invited to attend Conversations about Our Benedictine Life – Stability, starting in September 2024. These events will provide opportunities to talk with others about the value of stability and to learn a bit about stability as a feature of Benedictine spirituality. Each gathering will be a time to share reflections on our ideas, experiences, and beliefs about stability, Benedict’s teachings, and what spiritual gifts are to be discovered in a life where a practice of stability is central.

The gatherings will be between 60 and 90 minutes in length. They will include time for reflections, for the reading of short pieces on stability from the Rule of Benedict and others, and conversations about the gifts and challenges of a practice of stability.

This program is not a series, but we are offering multiple date and speaker options.
