LENTEN QUIET DAY WITH DR. LERITA COLEMAN BROWN

Walking in the World with Inner Authority

Saturday, March 18, 9:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. During these times of misinformation, disinformation, and personal attacks, how can we walk confidently in the world? Both Howard Thurman and Richard Rohr suggest we become aware of and engage our inner authority. Join us for this Lenten Quiet Day, our “wilderness time,” to ponder our relationship with inner authority and its link to the restoration of the self God created. The day will include time in silence and meditation, journal reflections, walking the labyrinth, and other expressive activities. Lerita Coleman Brown, PhD, Professor Emerita of Psychology, Agnes Scott College, is a spiritual director/companion, retreat leader, author, and speaker.

The Quiet Day will take place in the Lanier House on the Cathedral campus, 9:30 a.m.–2:00 p.m., Saturday, March 18

The cost is $20 and includes lunch. Please register before March 13 by contacting Jeannie Mahood, jmahood@cathedralATL.org.
