HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING?
Melannie Svoboda, SND August 4-10, 2019
If we are in touch with God’s great love for us, our hearts will be filled with song. This retreat will focus on some of the ways we can nourish our song and our Christian discipleship: through love of nature, prayer, friendship, compassion, service, playfulness, gratitude, letting go, laughter, art, courage during pain and sorrow, and hope. Using scripture, music, stories, poetry, and short videos we will hopefully deepen our relationship with a God who loves us more than we can imagine.
Sr. Melannie’s bio - I have two wonderful ministries: I write for publication and I give talks and retreats all over the country. These two ministries are a perfect balance for me. The writing nourishes the “hermit” in me, that is, the Melannie who is naturally drawn to silence, solitude, and reflection. The giving of talks and retreats feeds the outgoing Melannie, the one who enjoys being with people and entering their lives on a deeper level.
When I’m not writing or giving retreats, I can be found walking in a park or in our neighborhood, making tapioca or apple strudel, conversing with friends, listening to music, cheering for one of Cleveland’s sports teams, or strug-gling with a crossword puzzle: What is a seven letter word for lucky or fortunate? The answer is blessed! And that’s just how I feel!
