SUMMARY:DISCOVERING C. S. LEWIS’S LIBRARY:  The Enchanting and Sacramental Role of Books (Zoom Option)

These accounts\, combined with Lewis’s views on reading and literature\, invite participants to discover the numinous in books\, learn through the eyes of others\, and experience the same deep joy of seeing God in all of life. \n  \nPresenter: DR.

SUMMARY:Serenity Retreat: Cultivating Rhythms of Wholistic Wellness
DESCRIPTION:Serenity is a universal need\, though often elusive in our fast-paced\, tension-filled lives. While the world’s demands create stress and chaos\, serenity offers a path toward peace\, grounding us in a state of calm that nurtures our deepest sense of well-being. Far more than the absence of conflict\, serenity is a practice that leads us toward wholeness\, balancing the body\, mind\, and spirit in a way that sustains health and harmony. Through contemplative practices such as guided meditation\, silence & solitude\, creative activities\, and reflective storytelling\, this retreat will provide the space and tools needed to develop personal rhythms of wholistic wellness. Together\, we will explore how serenity\, when nurtured\, can become a source of strength that transforms our inner lives and how we engage with the world. Ultimately\, Serenity invites us to find peace in our imperfect lives\, rest in God’s presence\, and cultivate wholeness in a broken and troubled world. \n  \nPresenter: SUSAN YIM with an MA in Educational Administration from Concordia University\, has spent over 20 years consulting in educational\, religious\, and business sectors and a combined 34 years in lay and full-time ministry. A certified Gallup Strengths Coach\, Mental Health Coach\, Wholistic Wellness Coach\, Life Coach\, and Spiritual Director\, she integrates her expertise with a personal journey of healing from an autoimmune disorder. This along with the Covid-19 crisis inspired her to found YIM (pronounced “why I am”) Wholistic Wellness\, through which she offers one-on-one and group coaching\, consulting and retreat facilitation. Having fallen in love with St. Andrew’s Abbey and its monks\, where she found rest and healing through facilitated and personal retreats\, it is fitting that she now facilitates this retreat here. \n  \n*If the event is listed as sold out please call us at 661-944-2178 for real time availability and waiting list.

SUMMARY:EXPERIENCING GOD’S LOVE
DESCRIPTION:God is love\, but really\, experiencing God’s love is sometimes difficult. Once mankind lived in perfect community with God\, we were designed for this. His love and provision were real and tangible. But our fallen nature and ongoing rebellion has caused us to doubt God’s love for us. We struggle to accept His mercy\, yet our soul desires it. \nIntentionally offered near the over-sentimentalized season of Valentine’s Day\, this retreat offers you the unique opportunity to explore the reality of God’s love for you. Based on Saint Bernard’s “Four Degrees of Love\,” short reflections and quiet activities will provide the framework for exploring the soul’s journey back to a restored relationship with God. \n  \nPresenter: LISA MARION Obl.\, OSB\, is an oblate of Valyermo and Spiritual Director in Orange County. An energetic leader\, she has over 25 years of pastoral experience ministering to people of all ages and stages of life. Leading numerous events both locally and nationally\, she conveys her awareness of God and his love with a subtle yet honest sense of humor.  Having experienced many seasons of trial and suffering\, Lisa is well equipped to journey with others through their own trials and seasons of struggle.  Her attunement to the Holy Spirit makes her uniquely gifted for this ministry.  For more information about Lisa and her ministry visit: www.dailypax.com – subscribe to join her growing community of those seeking peace and spiritual growth. \n  \n*If the event is listed as sold out\, please call us at 661-944-2178 for real-time availability and a waiting list.

SUMMARY:Monastic Contemplative Practices (Zoom Option)
DESCRIPTION:            \nIn the early monastic tradition\, the term “contemplation” referred to the perception of God in both the glorious complexity of creation and silent rest without words or images. In this workshop\, the monastic practices of lectio divina and psalmody will provide a link between these two poles of contemplation. Readings from early monastic sources will be provided\, and participants will be encouraged to share the liturgy of the hours with the monastic community. \n  \nPresenter: FR. LUKE DYSINGER MD\, DPhil\, has been a monk of Saint Andrew’s Abbey since 1980. He studied medicine at the University of Southern California and theology at the University of Oxford. He is professor of moral theology and church history at Saint John’s Seminary in Camarillo\, California and has published books and articles in the fields of bioethics\, early Christian spirituality and patristics. \n  \n*If the event is listed as sold out\, please call us at 661-944-2178 for real-time availability and a waiting list.
