WOMEN AT THE WELL
“Eternally, woman spills herself away in driblets to the thirsty, seldom being allowed the time, the quiet, the peace to let the pitcher fill up to the brim.”
-Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift From the Sea

For centuries, women have been gathering around wells for nourishment and connection with others. Come gather with other women in small groups to nourish your spirits and explore your faith as we seek to grow closer to God. The interactive format is designed to meet different learning styles through the use of stories, art, music, scripture and meditative exercises. Each session has eight gatherings.

Fall Session: Where are you God? Questions and Conversations

"A powerful question may not have an answer at the moment it is asked. It will sit rattling in the mind for days or weeks as the person works on an answer. If the seed is planted, the answer will grow. Questions are alive.”
-Fran Peavey

We ask questions all the time and in our fast paced society answers are readily available. Slowing down to fully explore faith questions is challenging. We will gather this fall to examine questions about God, beliefs and life, taking time to look at the many facets of faith. During the fall session, we will try to become more comfortable living with uncertainty and listening to God in new ways.

Winter Session: The Inner Landscape of Prayer

“Deep below the personality and outer image, the soul is continuously at prayer. We need to find new words to help name the unusual and unexpected forms of the Divine in our lives.”
-John O’Donohue

At any given time, each of us has an inner landscape of prayer that continues to unfold, whether we are aware of it or not. During the winter session, we will use scenes of nature to explore and deepen prayer in our daily lives.
