YOU DON’T MEAN ME! A Discernment for Ministry panel would like to meet with you to discuss the possibility that you are receiving a “call” in your life. What does it mean to be called? Are you wondering if a path through seminary is stretching out before you? Does being in ministry mean I have to be a preacher? Does everyone who goes to seminary become ordained? If I go to seminary, what will it cost? The panel consists of Dr. Harvey Martz, Rev. Cindy Bates, Rev. Jerry Herships, and others who will be happy to answer your questions and help you discern if God could be calling you. Yes, you!

Peter Mayer writes and performs songs about interconnectedness and the human journey, about the beauty and the mystery of the world. Whimsical, humorous, and profound, his music breaks the boundaries of "folk" and transcends to a realm beyond the everyday love song, to a place of wonder at the very fact of life itself.

How can you accompany people yearning to be genuine in a cluttered, fear-based culture? Ignatian spirituality weaves simplicity and gratitude, intellect and imagination, scripture and discernment. Poetry is primal speech, the language of metaphors that both guide and companion us—even unknowingly—to express the soul. Focusing on fewer words allows for pauses to integrate heart, mind and will. Through contemplative questions and companioning another in this workshop, your life may morph into a poem with repeated rhythms—call and response, suffering and celebration.
Presenter Kent Groff, a spiritual director, retreat leader, and poet writer, is founding mentor of Oasis Ministries and former adjunct professor at Lancaster Theological Seminary (PA). Drawing on two decades of training spiritual directors and time spent in India and primal cultures, his new book Facing East, Praying West: Poetic Reflections on the Spiritual Exercises (Paulist Press) offers poetry for retreats and spiritual companioning

The Enneagram and Spiritual Growth:
Providing a Dynamic Tool for Spiritual Growth and Transformation
Saturday, February 13, 2010, 8:30 am – 4:00 pm
Combining traditional spiritual wisdom with modern psychology, the Enneagram is a powerful map for helping us identify the personality patterns that interfere with our ability to truly love ourselves, other people, and God. By helping us understand the roots of our “false self” and pathways for change, it provides a dynamic tool for spiritual growth and transformation. This workshop will use interviews of the different Types, individual reflection, and personal sharing to help deepen your understanding. Handouts will be provided.
If you are new to the Enneagram, we recommend that you read The Essential Enneagram by David Daniels and Virginia Price and/or visit www.worldwideenneagram.com to help you identify your type and get an overview of the system. We recommend that you download “The Enneagram 101.”
Facilitators:
Frank R. Timmons, PhD., P.C. & Karen J. Timmons, Psy.D.
For reservations contact the Center for Spiritual Life Reservation Line at (303) 355- 2095 ext. 117 or Christensen@montview.org.
Tuition fee is $50, with $20 discount for additional family members. Since we do not want cost to be a barrier, please pay whatever you feel able to. Fee payable when you arrive and lunch will be provided.
