SUMMARY:Resilience: Give Nature a Chance
DESCRIPTION:Register today to join the Franciscan Sisters and Sarah Peper\, a large river fisheries biologist for the Missouri Department of Conservation\, on Tuesday\, May 14\, 2024\, at 6:30 in the evening. This May Franciscans For Earth Eco-Series Event will take place in the Assisi Room at Tau Center in Kirkwood\, MO. Gather with St Louis community members as the Sisters welcome Sarah and her live presentation of “Resilience—Give Nature a Chance.” Register at www.fsolph.org/events/The Missouri and Mississippi Rivers were altered dramatically in the 1900s. Lock and dam construction and channelization projects have made river navigation possible but have also affected the fish and other aquatic organisms that live in the river. Using Lake Sturgeon as a representative\, we will explore how changes in the river systems have impacted aquatic fauna and how many of our species are amazingly resilient if given a chance to recover. Discussion will follow. \n\n\n\nTo register: www.fsolph.org/events/

SUMMARY:Engaging the Mystery - A Retreat
DESCRIPTION:It was written that Francis of Assisi could be heard in prayer asking\, “Who are you\, Lord\, and who am I?” Clare of Assisi would use the word “ineffable” (inexpressible\, indefinable) when contemplating God’s love and goodness. In both cases\, their Franciscan journeys are marked by Mystery. We search to “know\,” even while we cannot understand. Our Franciscan hearts’ desire to engage with mystery\, the doorway to intimacy with God. During the retreat\, we will engage the wonders we encounter in our human walk. \n\n\n\nPart 1: Engaging God’s Mystery – Thursday\, May 16 at 6:00pm – Sunday\, May 19 at Noon \n\n\n\nPart 2: Engaging the Mystery of the Human Spirit – Sunday\, May 19 at 6:00pm – Wednesday\, May 22 at Noon \n\n\n\nPresented by: John Petrikovic\, OFM Cap. and Ramona Miller\, OSF \n\n\n\nRegistration Information:\n\n\n\nRegister for one or both sessions.

SUMMARY:Replenish: A Retreat for Caregivers at Prairie woods (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Many of us are caregivers\, whether for free or for a wage. We care for people nearby or those who are far away. Regardless of who you’re looking after\, whether it’s children or elderly adults or if you work in healthcare\, this retreat is for you. It is hard work\, which makes caring for yourself while you are caring for others that much more important. Come to Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) to restore\, recharge and replenish. Enjoy a contemplative walk through the woods or across the prairie. Bring whatever is on your heart and walk the labyrinth. Just sit under Grandmother Oak and commune with nature. Explore stress reduction and spiritual practices to find the calm within. Leave renewed and ready to savor the long summer days ahead! This overnight retreat will be led by Leslie Schwarting. The cost is $175 and includes presentations\, Friday lodging\, and Saturday breakfast and lunch. The commuter fee is $95 and includes presentations and Saturday lunch.
