Guided
Retreat: Jesus and Women
June 29 – July 6, 2008
Mariandale Retreat and Conference Center
Ossining, NY |
Guided Retreat: Jesus
and Women
Jesus came for all people; but he himself makes it clear that he
came especially for the poor, the oppressed, the powerless. And
because women constitute the majority in all these groups, Jesus’ relationship
with women was a constitutive element in his proclamation and inauguration
of God’s kin_dom. We will reflect upon the profound significance
of Jesus’ encounters with the women of his own day, as well
as for ourselves today. Come and meet Jesus again for the first time!

Poetry and
Spiritual Landscapes
July 11-13, 2008
Sinsinawa Mound, WI |
Poetry and prayer both
arise from the same deep source within the human heart, and express
the joy, anguish, doubt, wonder, and yearning that dwell there. Both
shed light on the mysteries of living and loving and on the ultimate
mystery of God. Whether poetry enthralls you or intimidates you just
a little, come and allow poets, old and new, to amaze you while they
illumine your mind, widen your imagination, and nourish your soul!
Retreat director:
Kaye Ashe,
OP, a Sinsinawa Dominican, is a resident of Berkeley, CA.
She holds a Ph.d. in the fields of European History, French Literature,
and Church History from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland.
