Sliding scale
In these confusing times, how do we know what to listen to?
In this 90 minute workshop, we will weave together the teachings of the Gospel of Mary with contemplative tools and art developed by Hildegard of Bingen in her mystic dialogues that helped reveal a path of healing, wholeness and flourishing. We will explore the process of active imagination found in Carl Jung's Red Book and engage the
competing voices within us through guided journaling and dialogue to help us discern the "still small voice" of our soul.
