The Way of the Heart: InterSpiritual Wisdom and Invitation for Living in Difficult Times
CCE Contemplative Enrichment Day
Saturday, September 20, 2025
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (ET)
Rev. Matthew Wright
Awakening the heart and experiencing life through the heart center can impact how we live and respond to our current times. For centuries, Christian, Jewish, Sufi and Hindu mystics have been drawn to the heart as our primary source of spiritual perception and connection to wholeness and relationship. Matthew will weave together teaching and practice from different paths and share inspirations for living in today’s challenging times. The rhythm of teaching, meditation, chanting, and embodiment practices will enrich our ability to be present to these times.
Offering: $75, includes lunch
