The Mothers’ Retreat is an annual ritual at the Faber Institute for mothers of all ages, from new moms with babies to empty nesters and grandmothers.  Tara Ludwig, Spiritual Director at Faber Institute and mother of three little ones, will act as Retreat Director, guiding us through a reverent exploration of the power of “Mother”.  Together, we will consider how our spiritual capacities as mothers create depth and meaning within our own homes and families, as well as empower us as agents of tenderness in a broken world. Through deep reflection and prayer, inspiring and honest dialogue, as well as shared laughter and tears, we will be at common cause in affirming the dignity of motherhood and its role in fostering a more united human family.

The Lenten Meditations are an annual habit of the Faber Institute, offered in support of expanding and deepening your spiritual practice during the season of Lent.  The Lenten Meditations, reimagined this year as audio meditations, are composed and presented by Tara Ludwig of the Institute.

The core of these Meditations, offered on each of the six Sundays of Lent, concern six Friends of Jesus, who, each in turn, were to Jesus a significant comfort and strength during His passion.

May the companionship of the Friends be a blessing to you, as it was to Jesus, as you prepare yourself to receive the miracle of Easter.

The Night School is an adventurous exercise of greater depth and reflectivity than is normal for most people. For each of these gatherings, we welcome a profound thinker, explorer, philosopher, painter, poet, theologian or mystic from the ancient or nearer past. For example, we may invite Aristotle (4th century BCE) to attend, and through some short and penetrating texts from his writings to give us his best thoughts on friendship. This monthly habit offered by the Faber Institute is meant to be enjoyable, startling at times (surprised by the wisdom we have available to us if we know how to read such authors), and to be an experience of deep thought skillfully invited and engagingly presented.

For Session II of Series VIII, Rick Ganz welcomes our special "guest" Job of the Book of Job.
