Getting Involved

 

Walk a labyrinth. Does this activity help you center yourself and regain perspective on your life as a whole? What did you reflect on as you walked?

 

See if there is a spiritual director in your town or congregation. Set up a visit and ask questions about the practice. How might a spiritual director help you?

 

Visit a monastery for a silent weekend retreat. How does living in silence, even for just a short while, alter your actions and attitudes toward others? Does silence make you feel closer to or more distant from those around you?
