Empty Bowl
Quest For the True Self: The Holiness of Self-Acceptance
with Cheryl Rose, HM

In this Empty Bowl retreat we will consider Thomas Merton’s concept of True Self/False Self, and the necessary path of spiritual growth that leads us to acceptance and compassion for the self. The retreat, which is the 10th in this series, includes input, time for personal reflection, guided exercises, prayer and some gentle sharing.

Cheryl Rose, HM, has always been drawn to the mystery of the human encounter with God and engaged in ministry in the area of spirituality and personal growth all along, even as a high school teacher of chemistry and physics. She has taught courses on prayer and the spiritual journey, directed retreats for youth, school staffs, non-profits, and parishes. She has been doing spiritual direction and retreat work for many years. As a trained spiritual director and certified Enneagram teacher, Sr. Cheryl offers a variety of workshops for groups in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere.
