We’re all trying to find our way home\, which means living the truth of who we really are. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoth Phil and Dumas serve as board members of Peace Hill at Avila.  \n\n\n\nThey offer the following Thurman quote they will be using as a unifying theme for the retreat. \n\n\n\n\n“For every person there is a need to establish as securely as possible the lines along which they propose to live their life. In developing their life’s working paper they must take into account many factors … The life working paper of the individual is made up of a creative synthesis of what the person is in all their parts and how they react to the living process. It can never be determined just what a person will fashion.” \nfrom Jesus and the Disinherited\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:gOD Talk: A Black Millennials and Faith Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special event celebrating the launch of gOD-Talk – Black Millennials and Faith Conversation! \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ngOD-Talk is a groundbreaking project led by the Center for the Study of African American Religious Life in association with Pew Research Center. Featuring leading millennial voices\, gOD-Talk amplifies their individual and shared experiences in a curated conversation streamed to audiences online across the United States and around the world.

SUMMARY:Lama Rod Owens - Day 1
DESCRIPTION:Going to the Edge: Exploring Chaos & Radical Resiliency \n\n\n\n\n\nOnline Registration is now closed\, but there will be registration at the door if you missed the deadline and would still like to attend. \n\n\n\nTicket Pricing \n\n\n\n\nFriday evening price: $10\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis ticket option is for the Friday evening talk only. If you would like to attend the Saturday daylong retreat\, please register at this link. Please note\, registration for Saturday includes Friday admission; no need to register for both events. \n\n\n\nPresented by Bhumi Durham in partnership with Peace Hill at Avila. \n\n\n\nWe are living through an apocalypse\, a period of deep truth unveiling. The world is unsteady and chaotic. We find our lives completely disrupted again and again as we are confronted with the reality of death in a way we never imagined. Many of us are struggling to make sense of the impact we are experiencing in our personal lives\, relationships\, and communities. In the face of all this\, it is hard to maintain our physical and emotional balance.  \n\n\n\nResiliency is such an important skill to develop right now. Resiliency is about how well we are able to meet the challenges of our lives with a sense of openness and curiosity that helps us to regain our balance. Balance means understanding how to return back to a sense of being grounded in order to meet challenges directly.  \n\n\n\nTo move through this period\, we must rely on our capacity to grieve\, to touch into the sadness of change and loss and tend to it with compassion. In this compassion we can allow our hearts to break and in the breaking be held by the understanding that we are not alone in this grieving. Once we allow ourselves to be in relationship with our grief\, then it can begin to teach us how to move through sorrow and hopelessness into clarity and connectedness. Yet most importantly\, our relationship to grief through compassion opens up the space for joy and gratitude. \n\n\n\nJoin Lama Rod Owens as he explores this liberating relationship with grief through the radical practices of skillful mourning\, self-care\, and refuge. We will also engage in discussion and guided contemporary tantric deity practices along with meditation\, movement\, and pranayama. This experience will move us into the edges of our practice with support and care in order to be resilient in the face of chaos and uncertainty. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about Lama Rod Owens here.

Once we allow ourselves to be in relationship with our grief\, then it can begin to teach us how to move through sorrow and hopelessness into clarity and connectedness. Yet most importantly\, our relationship to grief through compassion opens up the space for joy and gratitude. \n\n\n\nJoin Lama Rod Owens as he explores this liberating relationship with grief through the radical practices of skillful mourning\, self-care\, and refuge. We will also engage in discussion and guided contemporary tantric deity practices along with meditation\, movement\, and pranayama. This experience will move us into the edges of our practice with support and care in order to be resilient in the face of chaos and uncertainty. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about Lama Rod Owens here.
