Join Erin Jean Warde on her return visit to Saint James and the Urban Well. The Saturday retreat will build on material presented in last year’s retreat and bring a fresh focus on recovery and healing accessed through prayer and rest. It will address issues we all face at times: feeling weighed down or discouraged, anxiety, despair, and even depression which can lead to unhealthy habits and choices. The day will explore attitudes and barriers to accessing joy and the power of meditation, prayer and other contemplative practices in our own healing. Erin will draw on insights from psychology, neuroscience, habit change research, and Brené Brown’ work. Erin is the author of Sober Spirituality: The Joy of a Mindful Relationship with Alcohol and is also a certified facilitator for Brené Brown and is an Episcopal priest.
