April’s Garden Gathering, with the theme of Rose Resurrection and the topic From the Tomb of Shame to the Touch of Love, invites you into the mystery of renewal—how we can rise from the shadows of shame into the embrace of love. As we come together, we will reflect on the journey of Mary Magdalene, who was freed from seven demons and transformed by Christ’s love. Through deep dialogue, journey journaling, heartfelt hugs, and worthy worship, we will explore how shame entombs us and how love resurrects us. This gathering is about stepping out of the tomb and into the light, releasing the burdens we were never meant to carry, and encountering the love that sets us free.

February’s Garden Gathering, with the topic of Attending to Attention, invites you to explore the practice of presence — how we can turn our attention toward the Creator by connecting deeply with creation. As we come together in the Botanical Garden, we’ll attune our senses and nurture our awareness, following the example of Francis of Assisi. Through sacred stillness, gentle practices, deep dialogue, and shared moments of prayer, we will learn to walk in step with the Spirit, listening to the whispers of God in nature and in our hearts. This gathering is about cultivating an attentive heart, learning to surrender our distractions, and finding God in every moment.
