SUMMARY:Gather@Grand: Abel and Cain: Repentance\, Repair\, Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:What: Opportunity to engage deeply with the Jewish and Christian processes of repentance\, repair\, and reconciliation in situations where significant wrong has occurred—whether between individuals or between or among larger groups of people. Jewish scholar Moses Maimonides (12th century) will guide us with his insights. \nWho: There are two ways for anyone to participate: more active\, by being part of a small group who meets in person\, discusses and strategizes issues together online\, and is recorded; less active\, by watching the group (live or the later recording) and implementing insights on their own. \nHow: We will read\, study\, and discuss Danya Ruttenberg’s On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World (Boston: Beacon Press\, 2022)\, which explores various situations (smaller to larger\, private to public\, past to recent) where human beings have inflicted and suffered serious wrong at each other’s hands; we will also investigate ways in which amends and healing can happen—or may not. The small “live” group gathered for the sessions will engage together and share insights\, recorded for those who wish to use them “off-line.” \nWhy: to manage past injustices and hurts we have sustained and inflicted in hopes of assisting the healing process. Old wrongs consume a lot of energy\, needlessly. \nDates: Sept. 7\, 21; Oct. 5\, 19; Nov. 2\, 16\, 30\, 2026 \nFormat: active\, in-person\, small-group participation. \nZoom is offered to observe the class live (no interaction); or watch a recording on your own for quiet reflection. \nLocation: Dominican Sisters of San Rafael\, 1520 Grand Ave.\, Administration Building Large Conference Room\, San Rafael\, CA 94901 & Virtual \nOrganizer: Sr. Barbara Green\, OP \n\nRegistration link for Mon.

SUMMARY:Gather@Grand—Befriending Trees Two
DESCRIPTION:Befriending Trees Befriending & Some Biblical Trees: Reading with Pope Francis’s Integral Ecology Insight \nREGISTER \nLed by Sr. Barbara Green\, OP \nTo reduce Laudato Si’ to a single insight would be to say that the usual firm categories we count on between human creatures and the rest of them (animal\, vegetable\, mineral; plant\, human\, animal) are more porous and fluid than we have been taught by our Western culture and its systems of organization. Those categories have their place and are in no danger of disappearing\, but before those ways of thinking came to dominate\, other ways of organizing beings were not uncommon. The Bible spent 2/3 of its “coming into being” life without assuming the inevitability of those tight edges. \nWe will join Pope Francis (and a number of non-modern Western cultures) and revisit some biblical images and see what we can learn. Invitation: To hear some biblical trees as our near kin and skillful helper; outcomes: how trees help us … what they may ask of us to help them; to include them more as “thou-s” than as “it-s”. We will have some gentle out-of-doors activity\, weather permitting. \nCost: No cost; donations gratefully accepted. \nMust REGISTER

SUMMARY:Gather@Grand—An Advent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Vessels of Love: A Contemplative Advent Retreat  \nLed by Colette Lafia \nHosted by: Gather@Grand­—Dominican Sisters of San Rafael in partnership with the Pacific Center for Spiritual Formation \nREGISTER \nDuring this tender season of Advent\, we will come together to open ourselves more fully as vessels of Divine love. “God loves things by becoming them\,” writes Richard Rohr in The Universal Christ. “Everyone and everything is a vessel in which God’s love is always flowing.” Through silence\, scripture\, creative expression\, and contemplative sharing\, we will enter more deeply into this incarnational vision: that matter and spirit have never been separate\, and that Divine Presence is continually taking form in and through creation. We will reflect on the incarnation of Jesus and listen for its invitation in our own lives. \nTogether\, we will: \n\nExplore the mystery of incarnation and its meaning for our lives\nReflect on the teachings of Richard Rohr and Meister Eckhart\nListen for how Divine love is inviting our participation\nEngage in silence\, scripture\, reflection\, and creative expression\n\nJoin us this Advent as we listen for how Divine love is already flowing in and through us\, and how we are being invited to embody it more fully. \nAbout the Presenter: Colette Lafia is an award-winning author\, spiritual director\, and retreat leader. As a graduate of the Living School\, through the Center for Action and Contemplation\, Colette has a passion for sharing the contemplative path. She has worked in the spiritual formation programs at Mercy Center Burlingame and is a commissioned Centering Prayer presenter. Learn more about her at www.colettelafia.com. \nMUST REGISTER
