Spiritual Seekers Series
With Kris Girrell and Jennifer Revill
February 4, 2025
Join us ONLINE for a new Spiritual Seekers Series at Rolling Ridge
First Tuesdays of the month (February to June 2025) 7:00 to 9:00 PM eastern
Increasing numbers of people consider themselves to be “Spiritual but not Religious.” And they have questions like: “How do I find a community of other spiritual seekers and explorers?” and “How do I build my spiritual toolkit?” If this sounds like you, Rolling Ridge has a new program offering that may fit the bill.
The Spiritual Seekers Series is a set of five evening gatherings offered on the first Tuesday of each month starting in February 2025. The sessions’ topics are patterned after the “Spiritual Emergence” Day Apart programs previously offered at Rolling Ridge. Each evening session will offer a deeper dive into the elements of the spiritual journey that lies outside and beyond the bounds of traditional religion.
Session topics are:
· Awe and Wonder in Nature and Art (February 4, 2025): This session explores our natural human tendency to wonder about that which is greater than the self. Awe and wonder often inspire our spiritual side whether taking in a magnificent view or a sunset, holding a newborn baby, witnessing greatness whether in athletics of simply in great acts of kindness.
· Transcendence and Transcendent Experiences (March 4, 2025): Spiritual experiences are often those moments and times that transcend the day-to-day elements of our ordinary lives and lift us into the extraordinary. How do these nurture and inform the spiritual seeker? More importantly, how can we clear the path to better allow in the transcendent?
· Spiritual Impasse and Transformation (April 8, 2025): The natural cycle of all life, including spiritual life, is order, disorder and reorder or life, death and rebirth. But that disordering process where the old ideas and beliefs must die before we can let in the new, is often disturbing and uncomfortable. How can we learn to work within the discomfort of impasses so that we break through to the next level?
· Contemporary Culture and Spirituality (May 6, 2025): Culture and Spirituality often influence each other. But in the ever-increasing complexity of today’s world, how can the spiritual seeker find a home, and a grounded place where their spirituality feels safe enough to grow and flourish?
· Creating Spiritual Home (June 3, 2025): How and where can we connect with other communities of practice in this emerging spirituality of ours? Whether as a solo effort or with others, creating our spiritual home is more than a possibility as is connecting with like-minded seekers to support them in their creation of home.
Through this series, we seek to build community and to craft an openness for to all the ways the spirit moves within and through each of us. While the shapelessness of discovery may at first be feel disconcerting, we will embrace this openness as a way honor and serve all expressions of spirituality as a human experience.
This course builds across each of the five sessions, and is priced as a unit. Unfortunately because of staffing it cannot be prorated for partial attendance, though missing a session would not handicap your understanding and participation of subsequent sessions.
Registration cost for the 5-part ONLINE series: $65 per person. (There is no part-time registration fee.)
