Turtlebox
Group, Session 2 - Time
and Details to Follow…
Facilitator/Teacher:
Cathy Barney
Times: TBD
Description: After a wonderful
first run of Turtlebox Stories Spiritual Nurture Group, I am scheduling a
second session of 8 weeks' duration. This group explores our spiritual lives,
the seasons we experience, sharing deeply (but never mandatory) and building
a trusted community. It's part experiential, quiet reflection, discussion,
worship and blessed community. All
you have to do is show up with an open heart. There's no prescribed
reading, although I share parts of my book, Turtlebox
Stories: Nurturing the Divine Within, during group.
The last set was held Thursdays from 7
to 8:30pm. For this session, I am considering other days such as Tuesday
evenings, Saturday or Sunday afternoons. If you are interested,
please let me know the best day for you based on the above options.
This session of eight weekly meetings will
begin in late January or early February.
Please don't hesitate to call (513-576-6265) or email
(cathybarney@the-nose.com) if you have questions or concerns.
Thanks ~ Cathy Barney
