SUMMARY:Care for the Caretaker
DESCRIPTION:Caregiving for persons with dementia can be both rewarding and depleting-an act of love cushioned in feelings of burnout\, despair\, and loneliness. This day workshop will focus on exploring support for the caregiver–support that will come both from the caregiver and from the community. Dr. Kaori Sakurai\, a gerontologist\, Cheryl Kinney\, a licensed social worker with expertise in dementia care\, and Coke Hennessy\, a Mindfulness Teacher will present on various aspects of that support. Lunch is included in the day.

SUMMARY:Preparing to Give Birth to Christ in Our Time: An Advent Day of Prayer
DESCRIPTION:During the season of Advent\, we wait and prepare for the birth of Emmanuel – God with us – and look forward with hope to the day when Christ finally returns. Yet between the past and the future\, we live in the here and now of this world. Are you ready to consider what it might mean for you to take to heart\nMeister Eckhart’s challenge: We are all meant to be mothers of God\, for God is always needing to be born? Through lectio divina\, music\, silence\, personal\nreflection and sharing\, we will allow God to speak to us through the words of Meister Eckhart. Please bring your journal. Lunch is included. \nThe day will be facilitated by Dawn Stringfield who has been a contemplative most of her adult life\, practicing forms of centering prayer and meditation for over 30 years. Register by noon on December 1 at www.mercycenterstl.org

SUMMARY:Come to the Quiet: A Silent Guided Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Do you find yourself inundated by the never-ending barrage of noise in the world? Is it difficult to still your mind because of the constant internal chatter?\nHow would it feel to unplug your devices and allow yourself time and space to listen more deeply to the Spirit within and around you? If you see yourself in these questions\, then “Come to the Quiet” of Mercy Conference and Retreat Center for a guided silent retreat. Mindfully walk the labyrinth and take in the natural beauty of our 72 acres\, soak up the sacred space of our main chapel\, read\, reflect\, journal\, pray or simply rest. This retreat will be facilitated by Dawn Stringfield who has been a contemplative most of her adult life\, practicing forms of centering prayer and meditation for over 30 years. \nThis retreat has minimal structure and is guided rather than preached or directed. Optional sessions are offered to help participants connect with the silence within. Participants are welcome to meet with the retreat director for informal spiritual companioning. This is a residential retreat and the cost includes private room with private bathroom and all meals. Register at www.mercycenterstl.org by 5:00 pm on December 14.
