"Celtic
Spirituality: The Celtic Cross, the Tree of Life, and the Eternal
Circle," presented by Frank Siegle.
Part history lesson and part spiritual experience, Frank Siegle will explore Celtic spirituality using ritual story and song. Sunday, August 24, 2011, 10:00AM: “Overwork, Work Addiction, and the Blessings of the Sabbath,” by Ian Riddell. Burning the candle at both ends. Putting your life into your work. Getting it done. We live in a world that rewards us for doing more and more and more. Getting more done. Making more money. We’re rewarded for working overtime—celebrated for selfless devotion to our tasks. Today we reflect on the costs of all of this work—for our families, for our bodies, for our spirits, for our society—and take another look at the ancient practice of the Sabbath—of holy rest. |
