OUR VISION

Lisa A WOW 2a

 

 

"I find it fascinating that many of today’s “buzzwords”—intermittent fasting, meditation, contemplation, counseling—actually have their roots in desert spirituality. Today, those very practices are mainstream. Veganism, intermittent fasting, meditation, silent retreats, long walks in nature are now embraced as healthy and life-giving. And they all echo back to the desert."

Thank you to our two amazing instructors, Dr. Roberta Ervine and Arpi Nakashian took us step-by-step through the world of the Myrrhbearing Women, their journey following Christ from the Galilee to Jerusalem, and beyond. And thank you to the wonderful women who joined us for this spiritual adventure! 

You can get a sense of what it was like if you check out this short video, and we hope you can join us next time!
