Immersion:

Personal Spiritual Transformation

April – November 2008

 

A collaborative ministry of Spirations Institute and Living Water Contemplative Life Center in Milwaukee, WI, Immersion is a nine-month experience in spiritual transformation. Beginning in April 2008, we will gather for five Friday evening through Saturday evening “retreats” with a diverse group of men and women who seek to deepen their faith and spiritual practices. Through avenues such a worship, ritual, spiritual direction, study, song, laughter and play we explore our God breaking forth in us and through us into the world. Cost is based on a sliding fee scale.  Co-facilitated by Trish Bruxvoort Colligan and Rev. Karen Hagen.   Additionally, presenters from the greater area will assist Trish and Karen in providing a depth of opportunity for our participants.

 

Self-Sliding Scale Fee:  $80-$250 per gathering

It is the mission of Living Waters and Spirations that all be able to attend this unique, in-depth formation program.  Please adjust this self-sliding scale to reflect your personal ability to pay as well as your mutual participation in our mission....knowing your giving generously affords the opportunity for someone else less able to pay “this” month to attend.  Perhaps that someone may be you “next” month.  Your giving also offers you the opportunity to live into contemplative justice assuring our leadership just wages in a world that often undermines the dignity of work.  Please pray and consider your offering.  We accept credit card payment as well as a payment plan.  Fees collected monthly, however there is a “no show policy” and expectation of participation and offering …..for this is holy, cumulative work to which we all commit together.
