Living Amidst Ambiguity: Fresh Views from the Far East
Presented by Father Edward Vebelun, O.S.B.
This retreat will take us on the inward journey of self-exploration according to the Benedictine monastic tradition. Conferences will reference the Eastern Monastic Tradition, utilizing the 10 Ox Herding Principles of Zen Buddhism. As we live in a sea of grace and challenge, we much each cultivate an inner spirit of awareness to how we interpret and react to the world so that we can live freely in all the fullness of what God calls us to.
