Shortly after I became a Spiritual Directory last year, I learned that the annual conference of the Spiritual Directors International would be held in Atlanta. I wanted to take this opportunity to invite you to share an opening evening with me later this month. Spiritual Directors International, the global learning community committed to advancing spiritual direction around the world, is meeting from April 28-May 1 downtown at the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel. The theme is Cultivating Compassion.
Programs on Friday through Sunday require a paid registration but the opening session on Thursday evening is free and open to the public. Please join me. Everyone is welcome!
Here is the schedule:
Thursday Evening, April 28
FREE and open to the public
5:00 p.m. Exhibitor and Conference Bookstore opens
7:00 p.m. Welcome to Spiritual Directors International Cultivating Compassion
7:45 p.m. Henri Nouwen and the Compassionate Life
Henri Nouwen is a revered spiritual writer who embodied compassionate care in his life ministry, and service. For Nouwen, the compassionate life is always impacted, and shaped by the God of all compassion. Together we will learn what it means to flesh out the practical dynamics of compassion within the context of community.
8:30 p.m. Author and Musician Celebration and Social
Meet dozens of talented authors and musicians who will present workshops and attend the Cultivating Compassion educational events. Fantastic opportunity to mingle, meet dozens of authors, and peruse the bookstore.
If you would like to ride with me, please email at rabbi@kehillatchaim.org.
Finally, please note the extraordinary holocaust program that we are hosting on Sunday, April 17. The secret of the Priest’s Grotto.
Happy Passover!
