Making Peace with Our Past

 

Facilitated by Rev. Stephanie M. Seigh, ACE, PCC

Director of Peacemaking & Transitional Services, AUCI

 

 

Who Have We Come Here To Be?

Friday, March 19, 2010  ~ 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.

 

            The purpose of this exercise is to help us see that our personal story unfolds in the context of our spiritual purpose. We each possess attributes and qualities that must be expressed in order to live from a point of purpose, rather than a point of view. The same is true for our community - who have we come to be together on this path? And are we showing up as the Truth of who we are... or not. This is a fun and enlightening evening together!

 

 

Telling Our Story

Saturday, March 20, 2010  ~  9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

 

The Making Peace with Our Past process brings the entire church community together to tell our story, and to begin to see the ways that we have created identity, continuity, meaning, and purpose as the context from which we see ourselves and are  present to what is, and what might be.

This process will help us become aware of how our story has been compelling, limiting, diminishing, wounding, fragmenting, or freeing. By understanding our story as a rich framework for our life orientation, we will discover that we are greater than our story, and what we’ve made that story mean.

 

 

The Healing Circle

Sunday, March 21, 2010  ~  1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

 

This day is a time of healing—an opportunity to experience resolution and completion regarding unresolved issues that may be hampering our spiritual health and well-being. Rev. Stephanie will speak at the Sunday morning service, followed by the Healing Circle in the afternoon. This is a gentle and powerful time of reconciliation.
