Befriending Our Fears in the Way of Saint Francis

  • The Fireplace 5045 South Ellis Avenue Chicago, IL, 60615 United States (map)

Join us for conversation and spiritual practice with St. Francis of Assisi expert, Jon M. Sweeney! At this event, Jon will encourage us, with examples from his own life, to touch what is frightening, refuse power, live as if we have nothing to lose, listen to our inner animal, pray with the moon, walk more lightly on the ground, and turn toward what is simple. Francis of Assisi is the world’s most popular saint, and you’ll discover how he illuminated a peaceful path forward for those of us navigating today’s precarious times.

This event is a fundraiser for The Fireplace. The suggested donation that will enable The Fireplace to offer free hospitality and programming in the future, $10-$20. Please sign up at the link below. Thank you!
