Befriending the Unknown: The Challenges and Gifts of Times of Transition
Star of the North Retreat Centre 3A St. Vital Avenue, Saint Albert, AB, CanadaMoving through times of change and transition is challenging. Transitions create much uncertainty and move us into a liminal space of the unknown. While uncomfortable, this in-between time invites us into inner growth. It is a place where we meet the divine. This retreat will explore how befriending the unknown in times of transition can lead to transformation both societal and personal. Through prayer, scripture, small group sharing and teaching we will explore together both the challenges and gifts that times of transition bring. Debbie Doornbos, B.Th. - Debbie is a retreat leader, and spiritual director with extensive experience leading small groups, creating and facilitating retreats and leading group process.

Flourishing of the Human Person in Sport: In Conversation with Sport Psychologist Dr Mark Nesti
St. Joseph's College (U of A) 11325 89 Ave NW, Edmonton, Alberta, CanadaJoin us on Thursday, October 8th for a special lecture by Dr. Mark Nesti, titled “Flourishing of the Human Person in Sport: In Conversation with Sport Psychologist Dr Mark Nesti”, sponsored by the Kule Chair in Catholic Religious Education and Newman Theological College. Building on Pope Leo's recent letter about a pastoral approach to sport and the Church's long-standing involvement in sport, especially in Catholic schools and colleges, the Kule Chair and NTC is pleased to welcome an in-person conversation with sport psychologist Dr. Mark Nesti. The discussion will engage his long-standing research and applied practice in sport psychology and his engagement with existential phenomenology (constructed with assistance from Aquinas, Pieper, and others) to provide a more person-centered approach to the care for human athletes. Educational themes of meaning, purpose, beauty, and vulnerability will also be addressed. Dr. Nesti is a specialist in psychology applied to sport, especially in relation to tennis, golf, cricket, and football/soccer, where he has worked in Premier League football with first team players and staff. He has held lecturing positions at several UK schools, including Liverpool John Moores University where he led its highly ranked MSc program for over a decade. Originally from Scotland, Dr. Nesti also worked in Rome during 2018 on the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life document, “Giving the Best of Yourself”, relating to a Christian perspective of sport and the human person.
