What's Happening

August 28, 2023, Adrian, Michigan – As we enter the fall, would you like to find time to work on your writing and share it with other writers? Sister Tarianne DeYonker, OP, an Amherst Writers and Artists Affiliate, offers two opportunities. Both workshops are held on Saturdays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time and provide an in-person or online experience.

    •    Letting Go and Making Room for the New, on Saturday, September 23, 2023, sets autumn as nature’s reminder to let go as we move through our lives, just as trees let go of their leaves. Writing can support our letting go and encourage us to make space for the new in our lives.

    •    Winter’s Invitation, on Saturday, December 2, 2023, offers the opportunity to write into the mysterious and fertile days of the coming winter. Participants will explore the patterns of light and darkness together.

The cost for the workshops is $35 per session. Registration is required and available at www.webercenter.org; click “programs.” Registrations may also be made by calling 517-266-4000 or emailing [email protected]. Limited scholarships are available.

May 22, 2023, Adrian, Michigan – Sister Esther Kennedy, OP, a Dominican Sister of Adrian, offers an in-person Ritual Celebration of the Summer Solstice from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday, June 18, 2023, at Weber Retreat and Conference Center.

At the very height and warmth of the summer sun, Summer Solstice gives us the opportunity to delight in the abundance of Earth; to light the solstice fire; and to speak our visions, hopes, and gratitude. Come with a song, poem, story, or treats to share.
