What's Happening

January 6, 2025, Adrian, Michigan – All are welcome to join Weber Retreat and Conference Center’s mindfulness community in person from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays. Sister Esther Kennedy, OP, a Dominican Sister of Adrian, a retreat leader, and a spiritual director, conducts the mindfulness sessions. Upcoming days are:

• The Practice of Transformative Love, Saturday, February 1, 2025. The focus will be on accepting the present moment as it is.
• Why We Meditate, Saturday, March 1, 2025. Through meditation, we practice holding lightly, non-judgmentally whatever arises for us as we sit. Mindful presence brings to light some of our unwholesome behaviors and awakens compassion and kindness.

Each session, which includes lunch, is limited to 30 participants. The cost is $35 per session, and registration is required. Visit www.webercenter.org and click on “programs,” call 517-266-4000, or email [email protected]. Limited scholarships are available.
