Pathways Rhythms February 2020 Only when I stopped believing in myself did I come into this beauty. Sit quietly, and listen for a voice that will say, "Be more silent." Die and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign that you've died. Your old life was a frantic running from silence. Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence. -Rumi- Lent at Pathways Join us for an Ash Wednesday Service at noon on February 26 as we mark the beginning of Lent.

Nina Lanctot and Carmen Horst will provide leadership. Both have studied under Cynthia Bourgeault in the Wisdom School tradition and both are experienced spiritual directors. Suggested donation is $50 per person/day plus a vegetable and a piece of fruit for a potluck lunch. Registration is limited to 12-14 people. Register via email to

Write Your Spiritual Autobiography Dates: Fridays, May 15, 22, 29, June 5 Time: 9:30-11:30am Location: Pathways Retreat Cost: $120 for all four sessions. Space for 5-8 people To register contact Janet Elliott , 574-536-8860 Do you want to learn a new way of seeing? To write a spiritual autobiography is to learn a new way of seeing as we become sensitive to the hidden work of God. Anyone can write a spiritual autobiography because God is active in each of our lives. Why write in a group? Writing is best done in the company of others who are engaged in the same task. We share with, encourage, motivate, and affirm one another during the writing process. In this 4-session retreat, you will sharpen your memories, make new friends, and learn more about the meaning of your life as God’s footprints are identified within it. Janet Elliott is a certified Guided Autobiography Instructor, retired educator and literary specialist, published author and writing coach, certified Healing Caregiver, harp player, and resident of Goshen.
