The Open House will feature a presentation at 3 p.m., “Cultivating Your Spirit: Six Tools for Daily Awakening.” This engaging presentation will be offered by the six spiritual directors of the Interfaith Spiritual Center: Irene Lundquist, Judith McGowan, Gretchen Meyer, Eunice Schroeder, Oralee Stiles and Pam Wood. A reception follows at 4 p.m. with delicious food and a drawing for a free spiritual direction session. Created in 1997 through the vision of Sr. Cecelia Ranger, ISP is committed to facilitating spiritual growth and well-being within and among individuals, organizations and spiritual traditions. The spiritual directorswelcome all for spiritual direction, education and other support services. They are experienced interfaith leaders and are all active members of Spiritual Directors International. The Interfaith Spiritual Center offers individual and group sessions. Among the staff are directors skilled in art therapy, dream work, labyrinth facilitation, women’s spirituality, grief work, meditation and in creating and presiding at personalized ceremonies for life affirming events such as weddings, home blessings and memorial services. The ISC staff also designs retreats, classes and workshops to enhance the spiritual life,including practices from the world’s major spiritual traditions. Recent offerings have included: Introduction to Dream Work, The Sacred Labyrinth, Engaged Eco-spirituality in a Troubled World, Inspired Writing — women’s support group, Sacred Knitting Circles, and Wild Communion—Blue Moon in June, a night hike. Please celebrate with the ISC on Oct. 21 at the newly renovated third floor office suites in the Patton Home, located at 4619 N.
