Spirituality |

Performing Arts Ministry offers opportunities for
women and men to explore spirituality. Choose from
one of these options or have a day/session designed
for your group.  Deepening
Religion Through Spirituality
(Adult men and women, three two hour sessions or one
six-hour day retreat) Spirit is an essential need of
human nature. What is religion? What is
spirituality? Separate groups will offer men/women
an opportunity to discuss specific challenges for
their gender. Then, together we will explore ways to
grow spiritually and participants will each develop
their own spiritual pathway.
 Expressing
the Female Spirit

This workshop encourages women to explore their
spirituality through creativity and life experience.
Using nature, visual and performing arts, women's
writing and personal experience, participants will
reflect on the female spirit.
Mother/Daughter
Reflection
(High School - Adult Women, time adjustable,
one-and-a-half hours or longer.) Mothers and their

ritual.

Ethics: Walking the Sacred Path
Whether in medicine, media, business, or politics,
few can easily say what ethics is or how to master
it. A nuts and bolts introduction, this short
performance program includes definitions, examples,
history, and exercises; plus music and comedy.
Ethics is not just for experts. Distinguish clearly
when and how we practice ethics such that you are
spirituality free and powerful. For students of the
moral life, young and old.

Stand-up Tips for Readers, Preachers, and Teachers
Speaking to groups is a vital moment of leadership
and contribution. It can be too rare that we have
such chances to speak so directly to people's
hearts. Make it count. This is a moment when the
Spirit can and should be allowed to shine. Your
message is larger than you; it is God's Word at
hand. But is needs your own, personal voice not only
to inform, but inspire!
