Spirituality is in a process of tremendous flux and change. The old ways of expression are collapsing around us and there is a search for new definitions of intimacy with God and the journey to holiness. This conference will look at contemporary spirituality and psychology and its impact on our understanding of the path to God, the journey of imperfection and compassion.

Don Bisson fms, a Marist brother based in New York, is a spiritual director, trainer and supervisor of directors. He is widely respected as a commentator and workshop leader on the interrelationship of spirituality and psychology. Don has graduate degrees in liturgy, spirituality and transpersonal psychology.

Going Out Green – Our Final Act of Love

Shirley Morris sp and Jean Higgins, sp

Death is woven into the fabric of the Universe, an integral part of the mystery of life itself. Those who desire to make choices to minimize the harmful effects on the planet may wish to say goodbye in an environ-mentally friendly way. This is a significant way of honouring the natural cycle of life and death and the sacredness of the earth. Together we can reflect on some of the options available, including giving the gift of life by means of donated organs and tissues.
