Event
"The Path of Generosity" with Dr. Fred Luskin (presented by Companions on the Inner Way)
Spirituality Retreat: THE PATH OF GENEROSITY
Our presenter Dr. Fred Luskin's research shows that we develop generous hearts when we cultivate self-acceptance, authenticity, and forgiveness. Self-acceptance frees our deeper gifts and allows us to speak truth and follow God's call as we discern it. Compassion and forgiveness lift the burden of old wounds and resentments and open our hands and hearts to the world. This journey is indeed a developmental path, and Dr. Luskin will draw on his decades of research to offer us resources such as meditation, journaling, poetry, and short stories as guides. The practical tools and hopeful perspectives Dr. Luskin presents, along with the spirit of the Companions community, will strengthen us to follow the path of generosity in our life beyond retreat.
