SUMMARY:Franciscan Federation Virtual Annual Retreat: "Singing a New Canticle: 1225 - 2025"
DESCRIPTION:Francis of Assisi has inspired generations of artists\, poets\, mystics and nature-lovers. He is probably the only Christian saint to be found in local garden shops and hardware stores. What is it about his inclusive vision of all creatures as brothers and sisters that can inspire us today? What clues does he offer that suggest an alternative approach to living in our “Common Home” as Pope Francis has encouraged us to do? Please join us in this celebration of the 800th anniversary of the Canticle along with brothers and sisters from across the country. Registration is open now.

SUMMARY:Retreat: "Japanese Art of Kintsugi: Embracing Our Imperfections with Grace and Courage"
DESCRIPTION:The Japanese art of Kintsugi takes broken pottery and repairs the cracks with gold. These restored bowls\, formerly considered worthless\, become treasured items of great worth and beauty. During this overnight retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) we will use this art as a symbol of our spiritual life. Our wounds and failures can easily harden into shame and regret. Yet\, if we look at our lives through the eyes of grace and compassion\, our painful experiences can be transformed into great sources of inspiration\, beauty and wisdom. Facilitated by Jean Pagliaro and Julie Connelly\, this retreat will include time for creative expression\, presentation time\, individual reflection and small-group processing. \n\n\n\nThe cost of this overnight retreat is $225\, which includes sessions\, art supplies\, Friday lodging\, and Saturday breakfast and lunch. The commuter fee is $205\, which includes sessions\, art supplies and Saturday lunch. Click here to register for the retreat.
