Simplicity
Wendy Rappé, MA
Saturday, November 3, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
Living simply is a concept we are drawn to, but in practice find much more challenging. What do we mean by simplicity? How are we able to "put first things first" in ways that are freeing and life-giving? We will explore the spiritual insights that Dorothy Day, Thomas Merton, John Chrysostom and others offer us. Simply come!
