Seeing with the Eyes of the Heart
Sunday January 20th
1:00-3:30 pm
Minneapolis Institute of Art (directions)
Gather 1st Floor, Target Wing
Fee: $40 (scholarships available - contact Laurie)
We're full - send Laurie an email if you want to join the waiting list: laurieberickson@msn.com
After a 20 minute centering prayer session in the Friends Community Room on the first floor of the Target Wing, we will break into groups of 4 and be led through the Museum Sage process by a team of expert guides. Within the small groups, each participant will find their way to an individual work of art, and through a series of questions and guided dialogue, they will receive insight into their life and spiritual journey.
The experience is both personal and communal. When Sister Virginia went through the process, she likened it to Visio Divina, and remarked that being an observer participant was just as powerful as going through the process herself.
Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early to allow plenty of time to navigate to the Target Wing, outdoors through the courtyard.
