  • Listening to Hear: Engaging the Literary Arts as a Spiritual Practice

    Star of the North Retreat Centre 3A St. Vital Avenue, Saint Albert, AB, Canada

    Poems are often mysterious things. They can confound and confuse. And yet, because mystery is often embedded in poems, they are rife with material for contemplative practice. In these four sessions, we will explore a few poems using a modified lectio divina. Following this activity, we will have an opportunity for personal poetry writing, using simple structures and easily accessible writing prompts. Sharing is completely optional. Each session will introduce a different poetic form and writing prompts. No experience with poetry reading/writing is necessary to benefit from these sessions.

  • Workaholics Anonymous

    Star of the North Retreat Centre 3A St. Vital Avenue, Saint Albert, AB, Canada

    Do you ever relax? Does your boss praise your willingness to go the “extra mile” but is unaware that your life is rushed and over-committed? Maybe your health is taking second place to your job and your family wishes you had more time for them? Are you missing a connection to your spiritual side? Perhaps you are burnt out and have lost all desire to do anything. Have you almost forgotten what play and relaxation feel like? These stresses are not just associated with paid work, but can also surface as hobbies, exercise, housework, or just trying to save the world. Here’s a solution If this sounds like your life, you may benefit by meeting with people who share these problems and are finding a solution in Workaholics Anonymous. We invite you to attend our 12 Step open meetings. We gather to share our experience, strength and hope for a life of serenity and joy. All are welcome! Meetings are held 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, 7 – 8 p.m. Location: Star of the North Retreat Centre, 3A St. Vital Avenue in St. Albert.
