Waking Down to the Divine Presence

Contemplative Outreach Birmingham, The Commission on Spirituality of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, and Metagem Institute will have “Waking Down to the Divine Presence”, Saturday, March 4, 2023, 9:00am – 3:00pm at St. Mary’s-On-The-Highlands Episcopal Church, Birmingham, AL. It will be led by The Rev. Mary Catherine Akamatsu


You’ve likely heard of spiritual awakenings, a waking up! What about a waking down? This waking down to the Divine Presence is another path or perhaps even the further path on the soul’s journey into God. Join us as we explore spiritual awakening in the concretized reality of everyday life. The 13th century Franciscan St. Bonaventure and the 19th century Carmelite St. Therese of Lisieux will be our spiritual guides. The day will be a mix of presentation, practice, and conversation.
