LISTEN with the Ear of Your Heart 2.0
Facilitator: Louise A. DeSantis Deutsch, MS, Obl. OSB
Suggested Offering: $200 includes 2 nights' accommodation and meals. Advance registration required.*

Listening with the ear of the heart moves us to informed action based on deep and simple practices such as prayer, discernment, and intentional living, wherever our daily lives lead. Listening brings us ultimately to union with our ground of being, our calling to stand before the face of God. It is no accident that St. Benedict made "listen" the first word of the Prologue to his Rule. Come away and share discussion, prayer, and our stories. Come away and LISTEN with the ear of your heart.

Retreatants give high marks for this facilitator. Come experience a supportive and caring weekend with Louise.

*Please call 781-749-2155 ext. 300 for further information or to make a reservation.

This meditation period is a special time as you start your week to gather at the Abbey to center yourself in Our Creator. As you center yourself along with prayer, singing bowls and silence, slowly close your meditation with freshly made herbal tea from the Abbey garden. Meditation coupled with tea is a spiritual practice going as far back as the 9th Century.
Compline at the Abbey Church is optional at 7:45 p.m.
All are welcome!

Change to regular service schedule: Compline at 7:15 p.m.This year's theme is “Understanding and Living the Rule of St. Benedict as Oblates: Our Stories as Tools for Spiritual Growth.”  Our program consists of speakers, a panel, book sharing and discussions, short films and a retreat day focused on our theme. Through these shared gatherings and readings, we hope to enrich our personal understanding of mercy and challenge ourselves to apply mercy to our daily lives. We look forward to another fruitful year of prayer, study, and fellowship with both the Abbey and the Oblate communities. Check out the website for the year's program:

Anam Cara, Glastonbury Abbey's women's spirituality group, has been meeting for more than 15 years. Over the years we have read Richard Rohr, Joyce Rupp, Joan Chittister, Barbara Taylor and many other authors. We have studied the labyrinth, gathered jewelry for The Women's Lunch Place, raised money for mattresses at Stonecrest retreat house, shared our struggles, laughed at our growing pains and enjoyed a pot luck supper or two. New members are welcome! For more info, contact Ellie, ellivine70@gmail.com.
