Theme: Savoring Life in Every Season

Presenter: Tom Ryan, csp

Awareness and acceptance of second–half of life realities like aging and health challenges can bring a clarity and richness to the limited, precious moments of life, and foster a special care for relationships and priorities. The themes engaged with in this retreat seek to help us savor life in our present season while also offering a faith-filled way of preparing for and integrating loss, whether of things or loved ones; a way of consciously practicing the “little letting gos” in light of the Big Letting Go, all the while awakening us on a deeper level to the gift of life that is ours to live now.

Father Tom Ryan is a priest of the Society of St. Paul and is well known throughout Canada and the US for his work in the area of ecumenism. He has authored a dozen books on the spiritual life and leads retreats, workshops and seminars. He currently directs the Paulist North American Office for Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations in Washington, DC.
