Join the Stewards of Sustainability Club this Saturday, Sept. 25, for a documentary and discussion event with snacks! We will be showing the episode Recycling Sham from the Netflix series Broken.
All are welcome! We’ll meet from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in Hoover 105. Contact Sydney Schroeder (schroeder18@georgefox.edu) with any questions.
Psychologist Carl Jung coined the term “shadow†to refer to the parts of ourselves we hide, repress or deny. Robert Bly called the shadow “the long bag we drag behind us.†We place all that would cause us pain and conflict into the bag, but it holds incredible power to transform our lives, relationships, and communities.
On Friday, Oct. 15, Join Michael Simmons as he explores practices and tools for companioning our shadow, particularly around our emotions and relationships. This course will be a space to invite Christ to meet our hidden parts and deepen that process of healing.
Michael is a spiritual director, retreat facilitator, and serves on the leadership team with Companioning Center on the board of Deep Water, a local community that provides tools, processes and sacred space for women and men to heal.
Michael is a doctoral student at Portland Seminary and is an ordained elder in the Free Methodist Church.
This course will be offered via Zoom from 9 to 11 a.m. PST (noon to 2 p.m. EST). The cost is $39, and the Zoom link will be provided. You can register here if you’re interested.

The Bruin Bound Podcast is a podcast run by the George Fox admissions office. Last year, many of the episodes focused on the practical aspects of applying to college. The topics were mostly informational, centering on things like financial aid, transferring to George Fox, and activities available on campus.
This year, we are making a shift to focus more on the voices, experiences and stories of people at George Fox. We would love to hear your story. Whether it is something profound, funny, difficult, intense or ordinary, we want to hear what you have to share.
The podcast topics will cover everything from transition, to food, to fun memories with friends. If you have any questions or thoughts, please feel free to reach out to Satoshi Seth at sseth@georgefox.edu.
