The Orphan Heart
Tuesday, May 2, May 9, May 16 [7:00-9:00 pm]
The volcano of goodbyes… the weepy room in the chest cavity... the gradual dawning of new life… For those who have left the religious tradition of their birth, the journey back into spirituality can be fraught with unexplored and unexploded emotions;
anger, sadness, longing and relief… how do we make our way? How do we both gather up the gifts of the past and then travel – well – into a new place? This course will allow ample room for sharing stories, for creating healing and celebration rituals, and for moving on. (Feel free to invite your family members or friends who have left their religious traditions to attend these three evenings)

Facilitator: DAWN ROLKE is a United Church minister, who has worked in Shared Ministry in Regina for 8 years. Along with parish tasks, Dawn enjoys leading spiritual programs, including a Pilgrimage in the Lumsden Valley, and running a massage studio in the Cathedral area. Recently, Dawn became the owner of a joyful pup which has opened her to life in ways she couldn’t have imagined.

Body, Temple of the Soul
Wednesday, May 17 [9:30-11:30am]
The body is the temple of the Soul, yet we tend to ignore it and in some cases even dislike it! Doesn’t your body deserve to be serviced every day to keep it in good condition?
This is a practical workshop on balancing the body’s energies to keep you healthy. Each person will have ‘hands on’ practice of working on themselves and will be given detailed hand outs on each exercise that is covered.

Using Spirituality to Begin Again, Alone
Thursday, May 18 [7:00-9:00 pm]
We often, regardless of age, find ourselves starting over on our own because of divorce, separation, death of a loved one, children leaving home, or leaving home to further education. This is an evening of reflection of how spirituality can ease us into the change.
FACILITATOR: LORRAINE NICHOL, a graduate from the Lay Ministry Program and presently a student in the Pastoral Studies Program at the U of R. She is a divorced mother of four adult children.

The proceeds of the day are given to the John Paul II Centre as a donation which will be used to create a sponsorship fund.

Did Jezebel Just Get Bad Press? (A Look at Women in the Bible)
Monday, May 29 [1:00-4:00 pm]
Although mostly disregarded and marginalized in their respective patriarchal societies, the women of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures do have a “voice”. If listened to, they are powerful role models who can enrich our insight and challenge our preconceptions. They will encourage us in our own faith journeys. This session will feature presentation, dialogue, reflection and a touch of creativity.
FACILITATOR: JOAN GALVIN is a retired teacher and long-time presenter on scripture and church history in the Lay Ministry Formation Program of the Regina archdiocese. A member of the diocesan Ecumenical Commission, she is active in ecumenical and inter-faith dialogue and
