Terry Taylor, author of A Spirituality for Brokenness and executive director of Louisville-based Interfaith Paths to Peace, will lead us in a weekend exploration of spiritual tools that can help us (and those we care for) deal with grief and the process of grieving.
Among the spiritual tools to be explored will be the Jewish practice of Sabbath-keeping, Tibetan Buddhist meditation techniques to help us embrace our own grief and gain compassion for others who we want to help through the grieving process), the Muslim practice of making a once in a lifetime pilgrimage (either real or 'virtual') to a site that is sacred to us, and the Christian practice of Lectio Divina (learning to go deeply into Holy stories...including our own). Those participating in the retreat will receive a copy of Terry's book which will be used as source material for activities. Those attending the Retreat will also received a copy of the book "Cultural Diversity in America: How different cultures approach end of life issues".
