Call to the Soul, A Workshop for Discerning and Embodying Call

Sat. Feb 21, 2009 (9:00 am to 4:30 pm)
Bon Secours Spiritual Center, Marriotsville, MD
Leader: Marjory Zoet Bankson
Cost: $50 before 2/15/09; $60 afterwards (includes lunch and light refreshments)
Connecting the inner and outer spheres of our lives often begins when something new breaks through our protective shell, demanding our attention and stirring us up. We want to believe that God calls each of us to a "good work" and yet we perceive inadequacies, obstacles, or are hesitant to let go of what we know. Even if the old way is difficult, at least it is familiar.
This workshop will offer some tools for discernment, for engagement and for embodying a clear call with the help of others. Come ready to work and to play.
