SUMMARY:The Yoga of St. Francis with Craig Bullock (Online; Partner Event)
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Shalom Spirituality Center \n\n\n\nDiscover a fresh doorway into Franciscan spirituality through the ancient practice of Kriya Yoga. In this virtual evening retreat\, Craig Bullock\, Spiritual Director of The Assisi Institute\, will explore how the life\, prayer\, and luminous presence of St. Francis resonate deeply with the contemplative heart of yoga. \n\n\n\nMany know yoga as a physical practice\, but its deepest roots are spiritual. Craig will guide participants in understanding how Kriya Yoga’s teachings — which hold special reverence for Jesus and St. Francis — can harmonize with Christian faith and enrich our own journey of transformation. Through stories\, reflection\, and gentle spiritual practice\, we’ll explore how Francis can help us hear Christ’s voice\, embody God’s goodness\, and become instruments of light in a world longing for peace. \n\n\n\nCraig brings decades of experience in mystical Christianity\, psychology\, and interspiritual dialogue\, offering a grounded and accessible path for seekers from all backgrounds. \n\n\n\nCost: $5 per personRegister by noon on Friday\, June 19 \n\n\n\nClick here to learn more and register

SUMMARY:The Padua Program (In-Person; Partner Event)
DESCRIPTION:Forming leaders in the Franciscan mission \n\n\n\nHosted by the Franciscan Institute at St. Bonaventure University\, the Padua Program is a year-long formation experience for leaders who serve in Franciscan institutions and ministries.
