Keeping Connected with Oasis Ministries for Spiritual Development Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, the children of Israel are often found building altars to mark the places where they had experienced God in significant ways. So, we too, at Oasis Ministries are at a place to “mark our journey,” which is the intention behind this release entitled “Marking Our Way.” We desire to stay connected with God and with you.

Led by Glenn Mitchell,
They say Iona is a ‘thin place,’ a place where heaven and earth are separated by a whisper. However, the heavenly experience does not hit you over the head. As one of our 2012 pilgrims put it "When someone asked me what I did on Iona and I responded by saying I walked a lot, I’m sure it didn’t sound inviting or exciting to them. The awareness created from walking, meditating, listening to the sounds or stillness of nature really can’t be described. A heightened awareness and inner peace remains."

Others shared the high point would be “the lovely pace of Iona with a mixture of activity and guidance and alone time.” Plus, “time to BE in these special liminal places, meant less time on a tour bus, yeah!!” “Worship in the Iona Abbey- wonderful!!!” “Side trip to Staffa island, very unique geology. Wow!!” “Hike to top of Dun I hill, spectacular!!”
We hope you will create your own memories and join us in October. Share the word with others. View a complete brochure and pictures at www.oasismin.org/pilgrimages.htm

Refreshment for Your Community As we turn toward the Spring, we are hopeful for signs of life and new growth. I saw some new life in two recent encounters with Oasis. I had the opportunity to lead a Lenten Quiet Morning at an Episcopal church. Together we found new life in the desert and the wilderness testings of Lent. The next day, I spoke to an adult Sunday School class at a Presbyterian church about spiritual direction and how one might go about finding a spiritual director. Again, a timeliness around this exploration of Love at the beginning of the Lenten journey (and on Valentine’s Day) . Through Oasis, rest for weary souls and new life can come to you and your faith community. We are excited to bring opportunities to introduce and explore contemplative practices and spiritual direction in your community. We have a simple program in place that allows us to come to you to share in the context of an hour, a half day or a full day around the topic of your choice: ⇒ A Mindful Approach to Reducing Stress ⇒ What is Spiritual Directon? ⇒ Introducton to Contemplatve Spirituality All you need is 6-12 interested people, space to gather and a date coordinated with Oasis and we will be happy to meet you where you are and offer some refreshment. Learn more at www.oasismin.org/WhereYouAre.html Request a “Refreshment for Your Community” brochure from our office or download one now at http://www.oasismin.org/RefreshmentWhereYouAre-brochure.pdf Blessings on your Lenten journey, Cindy Garis Executive Director

The Enneagram: Beyond the Basics The Enneagram: Beyond the Basics is a day-long learning opportunity for those with a rudimentary knowledge of the Enneagram who desire to deepen their understanding of this ancient spiritual self-awareness method. This workshop will invite participants to explore the Enneagramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wisdom in facilitating personal and interpersonal shadow and integration work (especially helpful at midlife), identifying life-giving responses during times of both stress and relaxation, offering invitations to style-specific prayer modalities, and increasing awareness of relational dynamics, particularly relating to celebration, compassion, and forgiveness. Familiarity with the fundamental dynamics of the Enneagram is necessary for this workshop. An Enneagram Introduction: The Basics satisfies this prerequisite. Those who have attended other introductory Enneagram workshops are also welcome.

Healing Our Pain with the Eternal (HOPE) through the Seasons To live is to love. To love is to lose. To lose is to live. ~ Dan Moseley All of life involves loss, some big and some small. How we intentionally embrace the small losses helps prepare us for the larger ones. Just as we journey through the seasons of nature, we too can journey through the seasons of life knowing that the losses of fall can lead to the darkness of winter with transformation and the new growth of spring waiting around the corner, leading us into the fullness of summer. HOPE through the Seasons is an opportunity to learn about losses and move some of the pain from the inside to the outside all while being held in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loving embrace. Our time will be spent sharing in small and large conversational groups, creative expression, music and nature. Led by Jackie Naginey Hook and Zack Maser Bios on-line When?: Saturday, April 9, 2016 Times: 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Where? Harrisburg Brethren in Christ 2217 Derry St, Harrisburg, PA 17104

Toward a Deepening Spirituality of Work Human beings often have a love-hate relationship with work. Even when we play, we can turn it into something that feels like work. On the one hand, we want to take responsibilities seriously but, on the other hand, we know that we were created for more than endless activity. How do we live in that tension? This retreat day provides space to explore that question. Together, we will attempt to come to a deeper spiritual understanding of work and how it can express our true identities and callings without consuming, addicting, or damaging us (or others). The day together will include times for dialogue, personal reflection, teaching, and fellowship in an unhurried, safe, and comfortable environment. Leaders: Tony Blair and Jo Ann Kunz Full bios and more information online at www.oasismin.org/ SpiritualityOfWork.htm When: Saturday, May 21, 2016, 9:00a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;3:00p.m. Where: Hosanna!, 29 Green Acre Road, Lititz, PA 17543 Retreat Fee: $50-75 (as you are able) To register for any of our events, please contact Betsy Keller at 717.737.8222 or betsykeller@oasismin.org

The Contemplative in the Garden Through many centuries and cultures, gardens have been sacred places for reflection and meditation. Join Oasis teacher and devoted gardener Nancy Bieber as she opens her country home and garden for a day of retreat. Come and explore the spiritual gifts of the garden. Be open to its abundant variety as we actively engage our senses, as we make space for silence and stillness, as we use our creativity and imagination. Reflect on the paradox of wildness within a boundary that is at the heart of all gardens. Being attentive to the large and small miracles around us will bring a renewal and rest for our bodies and spirits. The rhythm of our day will include pauses for prayer in the midst of activity, individual retreat time, and group reflection and sharing.
