Journey to the Heart

On the journey to the heart, there are many pathways, and even if the path isn’t currently being practiced here on Gabriola, it’s probably been tried once or twice! Join us at the Commons on Feb. 2 as we bring together a sampling of Gabriola’s heart-based practitioners to share their personal stories.
Journey to the Heart: Practices for Deepening will be hosted by the Gabriola Ecumenical Society, upstairs at the Commons at 7 p.m. We will discover the common threads of our diverse approaches to making ourselves and, in turn our world, a better place. There will be time for sharing, questioning and learning and perhaps even a cookie. Our hope is to offer a safe space to share ideas, experiences, feelings and thoughts, and to help find words for matters of ultimate meaning.
Our panel includes Mary Aitken, Tim Bruns, Tsiporah Grignon, Janet Lironi, Andre Nobels, Anne Sims, Diana Rose, Maureen Wild and perhaps others. The facilitator for the workshop, Shelagh Huston, said, “I’m so delighted that a diverse group of islanders, from both eclectic individual paths and formal religious traditions, has been willing to step forward and share their personal journeys – a scary prospect for most of us! I hope this will provide all of us with food for thought, and perhaps bread for the journey that each of us takes in finding wholeness, meaning and connectedness.”
Please join us for Journey to the Heart.
