August 23, 2024, Adrian, Michigan – Sister Sharon Zayac, OP, a Dominican Sister of Springfield, offers a retreat on Evolution: A Spiritual Journey from 6:30 p.m. Sunday, September 22, 2024, through 11:00 a.m. Thursday, September 26, 2024, at Weber Retreat and Conference Center.

We are in the midst of a cosmic shift in understanding who we are as persons, as people of faith, and as a human species. Sister Sharon will explore this newly emerging consciousness, what it teaches us about who we are, how we are related to the whole, and how we image Holy Mystery.

Sister Sharon shares from her passion about the cosmic creation story and its implications for life and faith. She is the author of Earth Spirituality in the Catholic and Dominican Tradition, and co-wrote Science and Christ: A Dialogue with Richard Chiola, PhD.

The cost for the retreat is $180 for commuters, $325 per person double occupancy, and $425 single occupancy. Registration is required. Visit www.webercenter.org and click on “programs,” call 517-266-4000, or email [email protected]. Limited scholarships are available.
