LWC Retreat - A Soft Landing after a Bumpy Ride: Rediscovering Your Inner Life

Date: Saturday, January 21, 2023
Time: 9:00am-3:00pm
Location: Looking Within Center at Gloria Dei
Presenter: Charles Ortloff, Spiritual Director and retired pastor
Host:  Julie Stevens, Looking Within Center Director

The metaphor of a plane landing after a bumpy ride may aptly describe where we are today. As a group, we continue to experience a bumpy ride: COVID, economic uncertainties, tensions in our cities and politics, and war in the Ukraine. As individuals, we experience loss, illness, struggles in relationships, tensions at work or school. We all look for a soft landing. The key for us is our inner life, that place where we process our outer life. It is a place of emotions and thoughts, hopes and dreams. It is a place of connection to ourselves, others, our world, and especially to God.

Charles Ortloff will be our speaker and guide for the day as he shares insights and practices from a yet unpublished book he's writing. Join us as we consider ways to do the inner work that makes for a soft landing.
