Summer Reflections: Shared reading of long-loved spiritual writings
Join us as we explore spiritual writings of long-loved authors in spiritual writings, Thursday mornings in June and July from 10:30 a.m. to noon. First one is June 4.
No advanced preparation is required because we will read the material together, then spend time in conversation as well as in personal reflection, according to Kathy Reiter, Middleway spiritual director who will lead the series.
Essays by Macrina Wiederkehr, Sue Monk Kidd, Robert Wicks, and more are planned. This will be an easy group to slip in and out of during summer travels. Each week will stand alone.
Soulful Summer Art Challenge
Art can help unlock our inner selves, but getting started can be the hardest part.
Middleway's summer art expression is "The Endless Art Challenge" by Megan Roy, beginning June 2.
The box includes 90 cards divided into Subject, Color and Wildcard. Users draw one from each category, then use the pens, crayons and colored pencils in the Community Art Room to create a picture stemming from the three.
The activity, available every open day at the monastery, is self-directed and you can do as many as you want throughout the summer. Roy said the pack contains more than 25,000 possible combinations, so come often! Directions and some reflection questions are provided by Middleway
Artist's Way Sacred Circle
Everyone is creative, but various factors and experiences can snuff out a person's confidence. Creativity enriches life and soul.
Those who want to recover their creativity can join this Sacred Circle, based on the book "Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. The group meets monthly on the first Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Summer meetings are June 4, July 2 and Aug. 6. Participants share creative pursuits and encourage one another.
Celebrate Summer Soltice
Saturday, June 20, 9-11 a.m. Gather in light, prayer, and quiet joy. A morning of blessing, stillness, and sacred community. Welcome the turning of the season with open hearts and sacred pause, celebrating the Light.
Featured Experiences: Gentle yoga to awaken body and breath, Sacred reflection to awaken intention, Sun catcher crafting to honor light’s triumph, Sound bathing to invite rest and renewal. Please register to reserve your place. May the Light bless your path with peace.
Contemplative Reading Group
"Peace Is Every Step" will be explored as a weekly contemplative reading group via Zoom beginning June 29 at 6 p.m.
This is NOT a book club—but a gentle gathering for reading aloud, silence, and meaningful reflection, with just the right amount of sharing, according to organizer and spiritual director Becky Burks.
Join as you are to spend time with "Peace Is Every Step" by Thich Nhat Hanh. No preparation needed—just a willingness to pause, listen, and be present, Burks said.
Contemplative reading will continue on Zoom each Monday evening. The Zoom link will be provided upon registration.
FRIDAY MEDITATION AND MINDFULNESS
Center yourself and find peace in the midst of your busy life. Friday Meditation and Mindfulness, led by Becky Burks, meets twice monthly at 12:30 p.m. This month: June 5 and 19.
Spirituality of Breadmaking: Decorated Focaccia
Summer's fresh herbs and vegetables will become art on a delicious focaccia "canvas" Aug. 1 at the Spirituality of Breadmaking class.
The event is 9:30 a.m.-Noon. Everyone leaves with a ready-to-bake focacchia.
It's free.
Along with the beautiful Italian bread, participants will be treated to a good mix of rest and meditation, led by spiritual director Kathleen Phillips. Register by July 29.
IN THE NEWS
THE BATTALION
The monastery presents itself spiritually as humbly as it does physically. Taking its name from the ancient phrase "via media," it is a picture of moderation between the "high" and "low" churches of the area
THE EAGLE
“My experience of church is churches are built for extroverts. It’s harder to find those quiet moments in a church’s life. … A place dedicated toward spirituality, meditation, contemplation, I think is necessary.”
KBTX
On Friday evening, the Middleway Urban Monastery offered people the opportunity to walk for peace, as a form of experiential prayer, for the situation in Ukraine and other parts of the world in chaos.
