FLUENT
community for spiritual deepening
Session One: April 16 - August 6
Session Two: August 13 - December 17
-Does the idea of articulating and expanding your spiritual “literacy,” your "lexicon of being" compel you?
-Would you like to explore simple spiritual practices that nourish you as you expand your soul’s language?
-Do you long for a small, nurturing community of spiritual seekers?
-What if you could participate in this virtual community as your schedule allows and at your own pace?
FLUENT is an invitation to more clearly articulate the sacred in the every day. Whether discovering, reclaiming or reimagining spiritual wisdom through fresh eyes, the invitation is for you to thoughtfully engage words and practice of an expansive Alphabet of Spiritual Literacy. These words are not specific to any one spiritual tradition but are core themes, threads and practices of a fluent spiritual life.
This community is facilitated by spiritual director Susannah Crolius,
M. Div., who is certified in Spiritual Literacy through the organization Spirituality & Practice (www.spiritualityandpractice.com).
