7:15 p.m. Listening to Other Voices: Earl Bullhead
November 21, 2019 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Morcone Center, 20 Hull Street, Hingham, MA 02043
Earl Bullhead
"Walking the Red Road: A Spiritual Journey (Heartbeat of a Nation)"
To the Lakota, the drum has a life and powerful spirit of its own. It is used to bring balance and renewal to a person through participa-tion in dancing, singing, or listening to the drum. The drum carries the heartbeat of Mother Earth and calls the spirits and nation togeth-er. Earl Bullhead performs his songs honestly and simply. Even without a knowledge of Lakota language and culture, one listening can feel the rich treasure of the sacred here. Traveling from North Dakota, Earl brings these sacred rhythms, his story of the role of the drum in his recovery process, and his life as a Lakota singer, all to our doorstep.
Earl Bullhead (Nica Ole – The Curious One) is an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Nation. As a singer/composer, he has been a featured artist with such performers as Buffy St. Marie, was the Song Supervisor for the video production, Ride to Wounded Knee, and has become a maker of songs for his people.
No registration required; however, seating is on a first-come, first-seated basis. Donations gratefully received.

Day of Reflection with Cynthia Bourgeault
Day of Reflection with Cynthia Bourgeault
November 23, 2019 9:00 am - 4:30 pm
Morcone Center, 20 Hull Street, Hingham, MA 02043
"Benedictine Spirituality as a Wisdom Tradition"
Rev. Dr. Cynthia Bourgeault
Suggested Donation: $120, includes lunch.
Registration is available online - go to https://gacc.retreatportal.com/events/f?p=101:2:16411004149168::::PROGRAM_ID:5080
(If the link doesn't work, copy from https to 5080 and paste this into your web browser)
It is said that wisdom is not knowing more, but knowing MORE DEEPLY, knowing with more of your being participating. In this day-long teaching retreat, we will explore the Benedictine monastic tradition not only as a “school for the Lord’s service” (as it’s described in the Rule of St Benedict), but as a “school for growing being.” Anchored in the daily rhythms of Glastonbury Abbey, a living wellspring of this 1500-year-old tradition, we will explore how the conscious interweaving of prayer and work, word and silence, “alone and together,” gradually call forth that elusive quality known as spiritual maturity or WHOLENESS. We will also explore how this time-honored template for transformation can be adapted to the conditions of our own lives to call forth this same quality of joyous wholeness in a world so deeply imperiled by fragmentation and factionalism.
Cynthia is an Episcopal priest, writer, and retreat leader. Cynthia is a core faculty member at the Center for Action and Contemplation alongside fellow teachers and colleagues James Finley and Richard Rohr.
