Experiments in Truth
Experiments in Truth: A laboratory for personal transformation.
The master invites us to rethink or reimagine our whole lives in light of the Maker’s dream of greater wholeness for our world. This workshop explores the physicality of spiritual formation. If I change what I do in my mind and body, how will it effect my capacity to flow with the creators energy & love? (what eat? how I spend my time? The media I consume? How I use my money? Who I spend my time with?) This practical workshops seek to deal with the disparity we often feel between how we want to live and how we actually live. Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness fasting and facing his greatest shadows and temptations. Participants in this workshop will engage in practices aimed at confronting our own shadows and obstacles to the spiritual life through “experiments in truth.”
Wednesdays March 19th through April 23rd. 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Location in central SF TBA.
Cost: $25
Enter Space.....Silent Retreat
Prayer is our breath of life and it is through prayer,or communion
with God, that we live and breath. In him we move and have our being,
so much so that we are inexplicably linked to our Creator. The Nazarene
came proclaiming union with God, the seed of life rooted in us.The
practice of prayer should aid us in removing the layers that have been
placed on us, moving us toward finding the life breath of God within
us. Prayer is not merely the utterance of words or petitions. It is
life with God in everything we do. Through new experiences,information
and reflection we are able to awaken the dormant pulse of God that
resides within.
Please join us for a 3 day guided silent prayer retreat. Where we
will practice the art of stillness and learn to listen for the voice of
God.
The retreat will take place February 22 - 24th 2008.
Location - Klein Cabin @ Kirkwood
All meals and lodging included.
Cost - $95

Creativity Workshop
Rediscovering Creativity Workshop, Jan 9th - Feb 27th

Many people have experienced profound personal transformation through practices that combine spirituality and creativity. This eight-week workshop will explore how to cultivate your artistic voice and talents more fully. Through daily personal exercises and group process we will help one another tap into our creative potential, using Julia Cameron’s book, Walking in this World, as a guide for inspiration and discipline.

Community Learning Lab starts this Sunday night
ReIMAGINE presents a Learning Lab on COMMUNITY
Sundays June 3, 10 and 24 at 5-7 PM
(optional) Community Retreat June 31- July1
During the month of June ReIMAGINE will host a Learning Lab on the theme of community. These labs, formerly called the Jesus Dojo, serve as a project based learning experience designed to help people integrate the teachings of Jesus into real life.
This Community Learning Lab will focus on reconciliation. We will help one another take personal risks to be reconciled wherever needed, with friends, family, neighbors, co-workers and anyone else. We will divide into teams to host parties of hospitality and visit local communities of faith with the intention of pursuing unity. We will pursue reconciliation where necessary while training ourselves to develop an attitude of love and appreciation that will keep us from drifting into judgment or fear in the future.
