| Rhythms Newsletter October 2019 Mystic of the Month Christine Valters Paintner is a Benedictine oblate and the online abbess of Abbey of the Arts, a monastery without walls offering classes and resources to nurture contemplative practice and creative expression. When we live simply, we relinquish expectations for how things will or should be, and remain present to the way things really are. We bring a contemplative presence to the world, compassionate and curious about what we might discover. Simplicity opens wide the doors for a process of letting go, allowing us to be fully present to the graces given us in this precise moment. - Christine Valters Paintner, The Artist's Rule - October Calendar Listening Together Mondays, 7-8:30pm Contemplative Sit Tuesdays, 8-8:30am Lectio Divina Wednesdays, 8-8:30am (followed by optional 20 min community tea) Centering Prayer Thursdays, 8-8:30am Praying With Creation Fridays 8:00-8:45am Spiritual Directors Day Away* Monday, October 14, 9am-2pm Inklings* Monday, October 21, 9am-12pm Coming in November Iona Healing Prayer Tuesday, November 5, 12-12:30pm *Registration Required Fall Day Retreat Friday, November 22, 9am-4pm This retreat features Gestalt Pastoral Care, a model of healing ministry that integrates Gestalt growth work with Spiritual companioning and healing prayer.
