Jesus spoke often about joy--his joy, our joy: I have loved you; abide in love....remain in me...I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. John 15: 9-11. Join us as we explore joy in our lives, asking these questions: What is the Nature of True Joy? What steals joy in our lives? How do we cultivate joy in our everyday lives? What can children teach us about joy? What does our happiness have to do with addressing the suffering of the world?
In The Book of Joy Archbishop Desmond Tutu and His Holiness the Dalai Lama pose this burning question: How do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? These two spiritual giants speak of the 8 Pillars of Joy, which we will ponder and pray. You may want to read this book, AND it is not required. Each session will incorporate Daily Joy Practices: Rejoicing in Your day; Developing Mental Immunity; Art, Dance, Laughter/Play processes, among others.
