There is one testimony from which all others spring forth: the testimony of living in and from the power of the Living Spirit, day-to-day, moment to moment. This is the theme of a discernment workshop at Silver Wattle Retreat Centre.
There is one testimony from which all others spring forth: the testimony of living in and from the power of the Living Spirit, day-to-day, moment to moment. This is the theme of a discernment workshop at Silver Wattle Retreat Centre.
The Discernment Workshop explores how individuals in community make positive choices based on our best discernment of what “rings true” and how to support one another in seeking direction, and living by those choices.
Discernment harnesses the collective wisdom of everyone. Human conscience is every persons’ inward knowledge of right and wrong and compulsion to do what is right. Human conscience, inward knowledge of right and wrong, does not spring forth fully formed – it grows as one pays attention to it.
The workshop will be led by Nadine Hoover and John Michaelis at the Silver Wattle Retreat Centre.
