Colloquium series on spiritual disciplines begins tomorrow

Sunday, November 6th, 2016

A colloquium, “Playing with Fire: Spiritual Formation from the Inside Out,” will focus on cultivating spiritual disciplines and be facilitated by Doreen Dodgen-Magee. It will meet for four Tuesdays in November, on Nov. 8, 15, 22 and 29, at 4 p.m. in Hoover 102.

Doreen has 23 years of experience working in private counseling practice with individuals and groups. She describes herself as a reluctant “geek,” spending inordinate amounts of time interacting with scholarly research, tech trends, and pop culture around the topic of technology and how the digital domain is shaping us. She is passionate about engaging people around this topic, and that passionate energy pours forth regardless of who she is with.

Students attending receive chapel credit valued one more than the number of times they attend (i.e., going all four times would be worth five chapel elective credits).
