Spirituality and the New Cosmology Study Group
Date: First Monday of every month from September to May
Cost: Free of Charge
Time: 3pm to 5:30pm
To book: aislingharmey@gmail.com
This group has been in existence since 2002. It meets on the first Monday of every month from September to May from 3pm to 5:30 p.m. This group is facilitated by Sr. Helen Mary. Over the years the focus has shifted from learning the story of our universe now made available to us by scientists to discussing its implications for our spiritual lives. The group chooses its own study material and is self-directed. New members are always welcome. The only proviso is a willingness to study. We always end with a convivial cup of tea.
