Join us tonight and every Tuesday at 8:15pm for Meditation and Contemplative Prayer online. We will practice making conscious contact with God by showing up as we are, gathering all our fears, anxieties, and life circumstances that need special care, and simply bringing them to God. Our time together will include a guided meditation based on an ancient monastic prayer practice, time for intercession, silence, and beautiful ancient chants. Link in bio for Zoom info. #spirituality #spiritualpractice #meditation #contemplativeprayer #christianmeditation #mindfulnessmonday #meditationmonday

This Saturday, in our last session of the Prophetic Imagination retreat, we will explore how each of us are called to be prophetic actors within our communities, and how to sustain ourselves in the work. Join our retreat community, IY yoga teacher Carolyn Swabeck, and guest speaker Fr. Adam Bucko. Continue reading to learn more about our guest speaker!
August 1, 10-12 PT/ 1-3 ET. Register at ignatianyoga.com/events

Fr. Adam Bucko has been a committed voice in the movement for the renewal of Christian Contemplative Spirituality and the growing New Monastic movement. He has taught engaged contemplative spirituality in Europe and the US and co-authored two books: Occupy Spirituality: A Radical Vision for a New Generation and The New Monasticism: An Interspiritual Manifesto for Contemplative Living. Committed to an integration of contemplation and just practice, he co-founded an award winning non-profit, the Reciprocity Foundation, where he spent 15 years working with homeless youth living on the streets of New York City, providing spiritual care, developing programs to end youth homelessness and articulating a vision for spiritual mentoring in a post-religious world. He currently serves as a director of The Center for Spiritual Imagination at the Episcopal Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City, NY and is a member of The Community of the Incarnation, a "new monastic” community dedicated to living and teaching contemplative spirituality in the context of hearing and responding to the cry of the poor and the cry of the earth.

"The degree to which each of us is here right now—in terms of a deeply awake, grateful awareness of the gift and miracle of being here—varies greatly from person to person."— #JamesFinley⁠

As season two of his podcast #TurningToTheMystics draws to a close Finley, #CACLivingSchool teacher and former trappist monk, draws us more deeply into the presence of Being, by helping us stay grounded in the gift of the present. For those who have been listening, share a word or two about how these practices and meditations have been transformative. What happens when you continue following down the path of the mystics?⁠

St. Ignatius ends the Suscipe prayer: “Que esta

St. Ignatius ends the Suscipe prayer: “Que esta me basta; that is enough for me.” Today. Just today.

On this #mindfulmonday we invite you to consider just today. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. When you breathe in this moment, where do you encounter lightness and space?

What is one action, thought or intention that can help you find balance today?

May you feel the enough-ness of right now 🙏

Session 3 of the Prophetic Imagination retreat is

Session 3 of the Prophetic Imagination retreat is this Saturday from 10-12PT/ 1-3ET. Remembering prophets as intermediaries, truth-tellers, and visionaries, in Session 3 we will be joined by John Karle and his mother, Linda Karle-Nelson as they share some of their journey as LGBTQ+ advocates within their communities. Pat Cassidy will facilitate the session and teach the yoga class. Keep reading to learn more about our guest speakers!
.
John Karle was born and raised in Detroit, graduated from the University of Michigan, and moved to New York to work in book publishing. He's currently Associate Director of Publicity for St. Martin's Press, a division of Macmillan Publishers. He's been a parishioner at St. Francis Xavier Church in New York City for 16 years, where he has served as co-chair of the Peace & Justice Ministry, and currently is in his second term serving on the Pastoral Council. He has served on host committees for the annual dinner and awards ceremony of the Empire State Pride Agenda, a state-wide advocacy organization for the LGBTQ+ community, for several years.
.
Linda Karle-Nelson is a retired speech pathologist and the Catholic mother of three adult children. The discovery that her 23-year old son is gay took her on a life journey she never expected. That journey led her to understand the great ongoing need to educate others about the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals symbolized for her by her son, and to advocate for this community, still so marginalized in our society and in our Catholic Church. Linda is currently Co- President of Fortunate Families Detroit. She serves as Co-President of PFLAG Manistee (MI) and is also on the board of Inclusive Justice, an interfaith LGBTQ+ advocacy group in Michigan. She founded the educational forum “Always Our Children.”

“Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disci

“Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples, ‘I have seen the Lord’” (John 20:18).
Happy Feast of St. Mary Magdalene, “the Apostle to the Apostles,” the first person to see the resurrected Jesus and announce the good news to her friends.

Today, let us remember Mary, the faithful friend, who accompanied Jesus throughout his life, ministry, crucifixion, and even after his death.
Sister Mary, teach us to faithfully accompany one another. Inspire in us a steadfast, persevering hope. Help us care for one another.

A big thanks to @Knowyourmothers for this modern icon of Mary Magdalene! #marymagdalene
