SUMMARY:Easter In Memory Of Her
DESCRIPTION:The Story of Easter… \nTold By The Women Who Were There.\n \nAn innovative service of music and mediation that celebrates the voices of the women who loved Jesus[/title]Each year on Holy Saturday\, Brigid’s Place invites you to Easter in Memory of Her\, an innovative service of music and mediation that celebrates the voices of the women who loved Jesus — Mary the Mother\, the woman at the well\, the woman who anointed Jesus\, Mary of Bethany\, and Mary Magdalene. \nThe service imagines the thoughts and prayers of the women surrounding Jesus and blends them with the music performed by singers from the Houston Chamber Choir and words written by Rice University professor April DeConick and Cathedral Canon Betty Adam. \n\nFollowing last year’s service\, DeConick commented\, “The performance of Easter in Memory of Her at Christ Church Cathedral was stunningly beautiful. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the congregation including my own. The women soloists were outstanding yet again. Every time I see this performance I am taken to the cross. It has become my Easter.” \nAdam shared\, “Easter in Memory of Her continues to be a powerful experience for me — to confront the cross together with these beloved women\, whose grief pours forth as well as their unwavering devotion. It helps me gain a deeper understanding of my own spiritual journey. I am so glad we can bring a presentation of such depth and beauty to the Houston area.” \nEaster in Memory of Her will be held on Holy Saturday\, April 11th\, at 4 p.m. and is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nThe women remained steadfast and faithful\n\nLet’s Remember the Biblical Women at Easter\n April D. DeConick \nHuffpost Religion03/27/2013 \nIt is almost Easter\, when 70 percent of Americans commemorate the death of Jesus and celebrate his resurrection. Most of the traditional Easter stories and pageants celebrated in churches remember the male disciples and their supporting roles\, from the all-male Last Supper to Judas’ betrayal to Peter’s denial to the thieves’ redemption. But women played a role in Jesus’ life and the events surrounding his death and resurrection too. So why aren’t we including them in our Easter celebrations? \nFor years\, as a biblical scholar\, I have been devoted to trying to understand marginalized\, forbidden and forgotten people like the women in the biblical story whose stories have been sidelined. Women’s stories have taken second place to the interests and needs of male biblical writers and male leaders in Christian churches over the centuries. \nThe stories of the biblical women recorded in the ancient sources take the back seat to the stories of the men because the texts were written by male leaders in emerging churches who had their own interests to front and authority to assert and maintain. The women’s stories have to be reconstructed and reimagined carefully from what the ancient sources tell us and from what they don’t. \nThe Gospels agree that at the most difficult moment in the Christian story\, when Jesus hung on the cross exposed and suffering\, a throng of his women followers remained with him at Golgotha and watched him die. Then they helped Joseph of Arimathea take down his body and lay it in the tomb before dusk fell. \nIf we are to believe the author of the Gospel of Mark\, his male followers deserted him. And we know from multiple sources that Peter betrayed ever knowing him. But the women remained steadfast and faithful. \nWhat do we know about these devoted and courageous women? Some of the Gospels record their names\, but not much else about them\, like Mary the mother of James and Joseph\, the mother of the sons of Zebedee\, Joanna and Salome. The Gospels agree that\, at the cross\, there was a collection of women who had followed him\, some who had followed him all the way from Galilee. \nCan we reimagine who these women were and what they must have been feeling as they stood and watched Jesus nailed to the cross and then hung to die as a common criminal\, the plaque above his head declaring his crime of sedition? How frightened and horrified they must have been. \nWho would have been there? I imagine Mary of Bethany standing there looking up at Jesus and remembering her brother Lazarus\, how Jesus had consoled her when Lazarus had died\, even crying with her. Was she also remembering sitting at Jesus’ feet as his student\, rather than serving him dinner as women were supposed to do back then? Was she thinking about his teachings\, that God is love\, that the poor are blessed\, that we should be peacemakers\, feeding the hungry\, clothing the naked\, taking care of the sick\, welcoming the stranger\, helping the outlaws? Had she come to realize how difficult and dangerous his message was? \nI imagine the woman who anointed Jesus’ head with nard would have been in the throng of women watching. She was the one who had recognized him as a prophet\, by performing a traditional anointing ceremony in the company of his dinner guests. Was she horrified now that Jesus’ prophetic role had been misunderstood as a threat to Caesar? Was she wondering how his message could have gotten so mixed up? That God’s reign and power is not coming in the future\, but is already here inside each of us. \nThe woman that Jesus met at the well in Samaria\, did she follow him to Jerusalem too? Was she among the women standing at Golgotha? What would have been going through her mind? I imagine that she was remembering meeting Jesus at the well and being totally taken by surprise that he would acknowledge her\, let alone talk to her. Not only was she an unfamiliar woman\, but also a Samaritan\, segregated and off-limits. Yet they exchanged words and water. Jesus acknowledged her dignity and worth\, even when his disciples thought he was crazy for doing so. And since then\, she had not thirsted. Standing there\, was she frightened and confused\, wondering how this madness and violence could have come about? \nWe know that Mary Magdalene was there\, Jesus’ devoted follower. How her heart must have been breaking\, hearing Jesus crying out\, despairing\, pleading with God. Why had God had forsaken him? She must have wondered if God had forsaken all of them. Did she remember meeting Jesus in Galilee\, when he reached out to her and healed her soul? Did she recall feeling Jesus’ power to heal\, to love\, to bring peace? At that moment\, her own spirit must have been emboldened to step forward and help Joseph take Jesus’ body down. To wrap his body in linen. To lay it in the tomb. To prepare the oils and return at dawn to anoint his body for burial. \nAs a mother myself\, the most difficult for me to contemplate is Mary\, Jesus’ mother. What must it have been like for her to see her child suffering this wickedly cruel death? Was she remembering how she had tried to be a good mother and keep him safe? How he had been lost in Jerusalem as a young boy\, and how scared she was that he had been snatched away? Was she thinking about Simeon’s prophecy that her soul would be pierced by a sword one day? Was she agonizing over her helplessness\, wanting to change places with her son\, to die in his stead? Was she grieving as only a mother can grieve who survives her child? \nThis Easter\, let’s remember the women in the life of Jesus\, let’s reimagine their faith as they stood and watched Jesus die. I invite you to set aside an hour to remember them on Holy Saturday\, the most solemn day in the Christian calendar when the altars of churches are stripped and mass is performed only for the dying. I think that it is appropriate for the silenced stories of the biblical women to fill this vacancy on Holy Saturday\, that it might become a traditional time for Christians everywhere to remember the women as the followers of Jesus who remained steadfast and faithful as Jesus died and was buried. \n\nApril D. DeConick is Isla Carroll and Percy E. Turner Professor of Biblical Studies at Rice University and author of ‘Holy Misogyny: Why the Sex and Gender Conflicts in the Early Church Still Matter.’ She authors a blog\, The Forbidden Gospels. DeConick\, along with Betty Adam\, has written ‘Easter in Memory of Her\,’ a one-hour production by the nonprofit organization Brigid’s Place. Members of the Houston Chamber Choir Singers and harpist Becky Baxter will perform the musical\, with original score by Sonja Bruzauskas\, at Houston’s Christ Church Cathedral\, 1117 Texas Ave.\, from 4 to 5 p.m. April 16th\, Holy Saturday.  \n\n\n[/fullwidth] \n

SUMMARY:Anam Cara - Women's Christmas
DESCRIPTION:January 6\, 2020 – Women’s Christmas\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is a custom\, rooted in Ireland\, of celebrating Epiphany (January 6\, which brings the Christmas season to a close) as Women’s Christmas. It originated as a day when the women\, who often carried the domestic responsibilities all year\, took Epiphany as an occasion to celebrate together at the end of the holidays\, leaving hearth and home to the men for a few hours. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWomen’s Christmas offers a timely opportunity to pause and step back from whatever has kept you busy and hurried in the past weeks or months. As the Christmas season comes to a close\, this is an occasion both to celebrate with friends and also to spend time in reflection before diving into the responsibilities of this new year.\n                    –Jan L. Richardson\, author\, In the Sanctuary of Women \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnam Cara\nAn Ongoing Women’s Group of Brigid’s Place\, Houston\nWe meet at Christ Church Cathedral  \non the 1st Monday evening of Each Month.\nJoin us as we Celebrate Women’s Spirituality in this Ongoing Group of Brigid’s Place. \nThis is a time to meet one another and to learn what it means to be a soul friend.  We are Women joining together\, opening our hearts to one another\, awakening our inner lights and letting the beauty of our soul flow together on this journey called Life. \nJohn O’Donohue describes an AnamCara in this way … \n“Anam is the Gaelic word for soul and cara is the word for friend.  So anam cara is the Celtic word for “soul friend”.  With an anam cara you can share your innermost self\, your mind and your heart.  This friendship is an act of recognition and belonging.  When you have an anam cara\, your friendship cuts across all convention\, morality\, and category.  You are joined in an ancient and eternal way with the “friend of your soul.”  The Celtic understanding did not set limitations of space or time on the soul.  This art of belonging awakens and fosters a deep and special companionship.” \nThis ongoing circle of women will enjoy friendship and grow together spiritually through book studies\, art making\, and the sharing of sacred times together. \nWomen’s Group Schedule: \nFirst Monday evening of each Month\, 6:30 to 8:30 (unless the first Monday falls on a holiday\, in which case the meeting will be held on an alternate date to be announced) \nMcGehee Room of Christ Church Cathedral at 1117 Texas Ave\nFree parking across San Jacinto in the Cathedral parking garage. \n  \nThere is no charge for this ongoing group\, but please register so we have an idea of the number of participants to expect. \n[button link=”https://brigidsplace.ejoinme.org/MyPages/AnamCaraOngoingWomensGroupofBrigidsPlace/tabid/854351/Default.aspx” color=”darkgreen” size=”medium” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_blank” title=”” gradient_colors=”|” gradient_hover_colors=”|” accent_color=”#dd9933″ accent_hover_color=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”1px” icon=”” icon_divider=”yes” icon_position=”left” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”left” class=”” id=””]REGISTER NOW[/button]

SUMMARY:Nine Paths to Wholeness
DESCRIPTION:Nine Paths to Wholeness – An Introduction to the Enneagram \n  \nSaturday\, March 16\, 2019\n10:00a.m. – 1:00p.m.\nCost:  $45\n  \nWhat’s your number?  Your Enneagram number or type represents your characteristic way of looking at the world\, yourself\, and others.  With roots in the Sufi tradition\, the Enneagram is enjoying a resurgence of interest in many settings.  From Motorola and the CIA to spiritual formation and leadership studies at Georgetown and Stanford\, people are discovering the practical wisdom of this ancient tool. \nKnowledge of the Enneagram helps us understand the motivation behind behavior—our own and that of others—helping us to be responsive rather than reactive with others.  Although we will each have a primary number or type\, we all have access to all nine types.  In this introductory course\, we will explore the nine types\, points of integration and disintegration for each\, and the centers of intelligence.  Previous experience with the Enneagram is helpful but not required. Participants are encouraged to take one of many available online Enneagram tests as a way to begin thinking about type. \nThe word Enneagram comes from the Greek word “ennea” meaning nine and representing the nine personality types. \n  \n[button link=”https://brigidsplace.ejoinme.org/Enneagram” color=”custom” size=”large” stretch=”no” type=”flat” shape=”round” target=”_blank” title=”” gradient_colors=”#8D66A0|#8D66A0″ gradient_hover_colors=”#bf9d74|#bf9d74″ accent_color=”#ffffff” accent_hover_color=”#fff” bevel_color=”” border_width=”0px” icon=”” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”1″ alignment=”” class=”” id=””]Register Now[/button] \n  \n  \n \n\n\n  \nMcGehee Conference Room \nChrist Church Cathedral \n1117 Texas Avenue \nHouston\, TX  77002 \n  \nwww.brigidsplace.org

SUMMARY:Come To The Quiet- A Day of Prayer with Kathleen Church
DESCRIPTION:COME TO THE QUIET\nEntering the Busy Season Mindfully and Prayerfully\n\nSaturday\, November 18\, 2017\nMcGehee Conference Room\,\nChrist Church Cathedral\nPresented by Brigid’s Place and Kathleen Church\nTake time to settle your heart\, your mind and your spirit – before and in preparation for the busiest time of the year. Planning family gatherings\, preparing meals\, seasonal decorating\, shopping for gifts can be joyous and exhausting. They often leave us depleted and far removed from the invitation of Advent to Wait in Hope and Quiet for the One WHO IS TO COME. How do you want to enter into this busy season this year? How can we begin now to make conscious choices that will help us experience the fullness of these days with gratitude and generosity of spirit and peace? How can we be present to the demands of everyday life AND present to the love that is the source of all life? \nJoin us for a day of prayer and reflection in preparation for this hectic time. We will enter into some familiar scripture scenes to see how Jesus taught His followers to BE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT in a busy world. We will listen reflectively to music and read poetry to help us center and recover our equilibrium when life speeds up. Most importantly we will learn to let go and enter into the quiet of our own hearts where the source of all life and love awaits us. \nPlease join our company of women – followers of Jesus – on this day of deepening our life with and in God. \n  \n[button link=”https://brigidsplace.ejoinme.org/ComeToTheQuiet” color=”custom” size=”large” stretch=”no” type=”flat” shape=”round” target=”_blank” title=”” gradient_colors=”#8D66A0|#8D66A0″ gradient_hover_colors=”#bf9d74|#bf9d74″ accent_color=”#ffffff” accent_hover_color=”#fff” bevel_color=”” border_width=”0px” icon=”” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”1″ alignment=”” class=”” id=””]Register Now[/button] \n\n\n\n. \nKathleen E. Church\, LCSW is a psychotherapist and spiritual director in private practice in Houston. She holds M.A’s from Fordham University in Clinical Social Work and from Boston College in Pastoral Counseling.

SUMMARY:Making and Consulting SoulCollage® Cards in the Council Suit
DESCRIPTION:Are you a SoulCollager?\nLooking to enhance your SoulCollage® Experience?\nBrigid’s Place and The Rev. Martha Frances are pleased to invite you to join us in this Class on Making and Consulting SoulCollage® Cards in the Council Suit.\nSoulCollage® is a process by which each of us can define his or her own unique soul’s purpose. The process is simple–by combining beautiful images from magazines using your intuition\, you create a deck of cards which help you answer life’s questions for yourself\, in your own way. The images choose you and go straight through the soul\, bypassing the mind and accessing a deeper kind of knowing. \nThis class is for those who want to expand their decks and enrich their SoulCollage® experience by learning more about the Council Suit. Martha will assist you in learning to recognize the Council of archetypes at work and at play in your unique soul. You will notice how the energies of the archetypal dimension include our stories into the larger stories being played out in the world. Therefore\, expect that the cards of the Council Suit will have a real power that feels vaster and more compelling than your other SoulCollage® cards. Come enjoy learning more about yourself and how you can grow spiritually and personally \nWe will be making cards during this event\, and all the materials required to make two cards will be available.  In addition\, participants are invited to bring as many cards as they currently have. High-quality materials and handouts will be provided. \n[button link=”https://brigidsplace.ejoinme.org/SoulCollageCouncilSuit” color=”darkgreen” size=”medium” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_blank” title=”” gradient_colors=”|” gradient_hover_colors=”|” accent_color=”#dd9933″ accent_hover_color=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”1px” icon=”” icon_divider=”yes” icon_position=”left” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”left” class=”” id=””]REGISTER NOW[/button] \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Anam Cara - Ongoing Women's Group
DESCRIPTION:Anam Cara\nAn Ongoing Women’s Group of Brigid’s Place\, Houston\nWe meet at Christ Church Cathedral \non the First Monday evening of Each Month.\n  \nJoin us as we Birth a new Women’s Spirituality Group at Brigid’s Place. \nThis is a time to meet one another and to learn what it means to be a soul friend.  We are Women joining together\, opening our hearts to one another\, awakening our inner lights and letting the beauty of our soul flow together on this journey called Life. \nJohn O’Donohue describes an AnamCara in this way … \n“Anam is the Gaelic word for soul and cara is the word for friend.  So anam cara is the Celtic word for “soul friend”.  With an anam cara you can share your innermost self\, your mind and your heart.  This friendship is an act of recognition and belonging.  When you have an anam cara\, your friendship cuts across all convention\, morality\, and category.  You are joined in an ancient and eternal way with the “friend of your soul.”  The Celtic understanding did not set limitations of space or time on the soul.  This art of belonging awakens and fosters a deep and special companionship.” \nThis ongoing circle of women will enjoy friendship and grow together spiritually through book studies\, art making\, and the sharing of sacred times together. \nThe Friendship of Women (the Hidden Tradition of the Bible) \nWe are currently studying The Friendship of Women by Joan Chittister.  Copies will be available for purchase at our meetings\, as well as being available at the Cathedral Bookstore. \n  \nWomen’s Group Schedule: \nFirst Monday evening of each Month\, 6:30 to 8:30 \nMcGehee Room of Christ Church Cathedral at 1117 Texas Ave\nFree parking across San Jacinto in the Cathedral parking garage. \n  \nThere is no charge for this ongoing group\, but please register so we have an idea of the number of participants to expect. \n[button link=”https://brigidsplace.ejoinme.org/MyPages/AnamCaraOngoingWomensGroupofBrigidsPlace/tabid/854351/Default.aspx” color=”darkgreen” size=”medium” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_blank” title=”” gradient_colors=”|” gradient_hover_colors=”|” accent_color=”#dd9933″ accent_hover_color=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”1px” icon=”” icon_divider=”yes” icon_position=”left” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”left” class=”” id=””]REGISTER NOW[/button]

DESCRIPTION:Anam Cara\nAn Ongoing Women’s Group of Brigid’s Place\, Houston\nWe meet at Christ Church Cathedral \non the First Monday evening of Each Month.\n  \nJoin us as we Birth a new Women’s Spirituality Group at Brigid’s Place. \nThis is a time to meet one another and to learn what it means to be a soul friend.  We are Women joining together\, opening our hearts to one another\, awakening our inner lights and letting the beauty of our soul flow together on this journey called Life. \nJohn O’Donohue describes an AnamCara in this way … \n“Anam is the Gaelic word for soul and cara is the word for friend.  So anam cara is the Celtic word for “soul friend”.  With an anam cara you can share your innermost self\, your mind and your heart.  This friendship is an act of recognition and belonging.  When you have an anam cara\, your friendship cuts across all convention\, morality\, and category.  You are joined in an ancient and eternal way with the “friend of your soul.”  The Celtic understanding did not set limitations of space or time on the soul.  This art of belonging awakens and fosters a deep and special companionship.” \nThis ongoing circle of women will enjoy friendship and grow together spiritually through book studies\, art making\, and the sharing of sacred times together. \nThe Friendship of Women (the Hidden Tradition of the Bible) \nWe are currently studying The Friendship of Women by Joan Chittister.  Copies will be available for purchase at our meetings\, as well as being available at the Cathedral Bookstore. \n  \nWomen’s Group Schedule: \nFirst Monday evening of each Month\, 6:30 to 8:30 \nMcGehee Room of Christ Church Cathedral at 1117 Texas Ave\nFree parking across San Jacinto in the Cathedral parking garage. \n  \nThere is no charge for this ongoing group\, but please register so we have an idea of the number of participants to expect. \n[button link=”https://brigidsplace.ejoinme.org/MyPages/AnamCaraOngoingWomensGroupofBrigidsPlace/tabid/854351/Default.aspx” color=”darkgreen” size=”medium” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_blank” title=”” gradient_colors=”|” gradient_hover_colors=”|” accent_color=”#dd9933″ accent_hover_color=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”1px” icon=”” icon_divider=”yes” icon_position=”left” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”left” class=”” id=””]REGISTER NOW[/button]

The wisdom found in reading your cards can be a strong guiding force in your life. In this first class\, the focus is on learning the different roles found in a SoulCollage(R) reading group\, as well as learning the basic process. Participants will choose several cards and ask questions to get to know them.  Our goal will be a general exploration of your cards and getting familiar with the idea and format of readings. You will quickly learn to respect the powerful voices of your cards. \nClass 2: Using your cards for insight about life and current concerns or decisions you need to make \nThis class will focus on questions about current life concerns. Participants will approach the cards with problems or decisions and consult them.  Topics can include health problems\, relationship issues\, career guidance\, time management\, better parenting\, etc.  Participants will become more comfortable that their cards have real answers and input\, and learn to trust this. \nClass 3: Focusing on many different techniques for individual and group readings\, with experiential exercises to demonstrate \nThere are many creative ways to consult your cards\, and this class will focus on several of them. The simplest example is to draw one card every day and use its wisdom as a guide for the day. It’s also possible to inquire more deeply of your cards using techniques that involve several cards across several suits. This class will help you to navigate your cards in new and exciting ways to learn their meanings and intention for your life. \nClass 4: Making a SoulCollage® diary \nBy including insights from each reading along with copies of the cards and new cards that emerged from readings\, you will build an amazing diary of your life.  This is another way of journaling and recording your life!  The class will not include time to make a journal\, but will provide lots of ideas and hands-on experience with different techniques. Each participant will make a journal page from a past reading to get started. High-quality art materials will be included.

SUMMARY:"Ink & Honey" Women's Fall Group
DESCRIPTION:Ink and Honey is the story of a sacred journey through the medieval French countryside with the sisters of Belle Cœur\, a community of radically independent healers\, visionaries\, mystics and artisans who live by their wits and their prayers. Goscelin\, the dedicated scribe\, records her sisterhood’s stories\, visions and prophecies in her community’s journal while surrounded by holy madness\, suspicion and the imminent threat of death at the stake. The sisters guard a life-threatening secret as they navigate spiritual terrain where faith and creative passion forge the way to labyrinths and cathedrals\, hidden rooms and honey drenched hives. \n. \n \n“Ink and Honey” is alive with women’s ancient wisdom and spiritual practices. We began our journey together this Spring with a study of “Ink and Honey.” This Fall we will dive into the heart of Belle Coeur Spirituality as we read and study “The Way of Belle Coeur- A Woman’s Vade Mecum” Our study will include guided discussion and experiential exercises to inform our lives. Led by The Reverend Martha Frances and Mary Ann Matthys\, MA\, CSD \nTHURSDAYS\, 15\, 22\, & 29 Sept; 6\, 20 & 27 October 2016 \nMellinger Room of Christ Church Cathedral at 1117 Texas Ave\nFree parking across San Jacinto in the Cathedral parking garage. \nClass Cost is $60.00 \nFor questions and to register please call Rev. Martha Frances at 713-203-2927. \n\n\nThe Rev. Martha Frances is a woman in process\, an Episcopal priest\, trained spiritual director\, religious educator\, writer\, musician\, ecumenist\, grandmother\, feminist\, & sometime activist.  I am on the Board of Brigid’s Place at Christ Church Cathedral & liaison & frequent teacher at Brigid’s Hope\, a reentry program for women who have experienced incarceration.  I am a  Companion of the Rivendell Community\, an Episcopal religious community whose members live out our vocation in our daily lives\, & an Associate with the Order of St. Helena\, an Episcopal Religious Order for women. \nMy ministry has included combining of two congregations to form a multi-ethnic one\, leading a mission church for people who are homeless & in transition\, and serving in a bi-lingual congregation.  I have facilitated various interactive classes on effective living\, feminine spirituality\, meditation\, & addiction & recovery.  Prior to my priestly ministry\, I taught secondary public school & at college & university level. \nI love being a grandmother\, traveling as widely as possible\, interacting with groups\, reading\, knitting\, & pursuing creative expressions. \nWomen’s spiritual & personal growth is one of my passions\, so I welcome the opportunity to explore this novel about 13th Century Beguines to learn how it parallels with 21st Century women’s lives & values.  Won’t you join us? \nFaithfully\, Martha Frances+\, M.

I am a creative individual who finds the creative process a wonderful way to consecrate my life to God. \nMy personal website www.consecratetheday.com offers invitations to deeper communion with God through Creativity and other Spiritual Practices.  I hope this website will be sustenance for your spiritual journey.  Take what resonates with your soul and discard what you do not need or want. \nIt is my sincere hope that you will find the joy that comes in consecrating each day\, each moment to God. \nBlessings always! \nMary Ann Matthys\nSister of Belle Coeur \nBachelor of Science\, University of Texas\nStudied @ Glassell School of Art\nMasters Degree in Humanities\, University of Houston\, Clear Lake\nCertified Spiritual Director\, Perkins School of Theology\, SMU\nColor of Woman Teacher and Intentional Creativity Coach 2014

SUMMARY:Dark Nights of the Soul: Jung\, Dante and the Red Book
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 26 at 7 pm\nThe Jung Center\n$15 members/$20 general admission \nHow can art help guide us through periods of difficulty and transformation? In the middle of death\, disaster and despair\, Dante created a map for his own inner transformation by penning The Divine Comedy. Seven hundred years later\, Dante’s work served as inspiration for C. G. Jung’s own imaginal process of healing and revelation that ultimately became The Red Book. In this multi-media lecture\, we’ll compare these two inward journeys of descent and integration through lecture\, story and art in a celebration of the transformative power of art and literature to heal and guide us.

SUMMARY:Music to Light the Dark: Orpheus and Rilke
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 25 at 7 pm\nMatch Theater\, Houston\, Texas\nKayleen Asbo\, lecture and piano\nWith Julija Zibrat\, violin\n$35.00 \nThe music of Bach\, Gluck\, Mozart\, Philip Glass\, Arvo Part\, poetry of Rilke and art of Rodin \nIn 1922\, the great poet Rainer Maria Rilke arrived at a chateau in Switzerland in a state of profound depression and grief with a case of writer’s block so intense that it had lasted almost ten years. Over the course of just three weeks\, the image of the mythic figure of Orpheus combined with the sound of violin music played by a young girl to kindle an unprecedented creative fire within Rilke that gave way to an astonishing series of masterpieces: the Duino Elegies and the Sonnets to Orpheus. In this multimedia tour-de-force\, the story of how music opened the doorway to transformation and healing will frame a musical voyage from grief to grace and joy. \nProgram:\nFur Alina\, Arvo Part\nOrphee’s Bedroom\, Philip Glass\nMelodie in B minor\, Gluck\nAdagio in f minor\, K.280\, W.A. Mozart\nPartita in d minor\, J.S. Bach\nSuite Italienne\, Igor Stravinsky\nSonata in c minor for Violin and Keyboard\, J.S. Bach
