Yoga & Meditation: Orradre Chapel

•  If you decide to join the Yoga & Meditation Group for a GOYB opportunity, please come in to Orradre Chapel in a respectful and reverent demeanor. Led by Ms. Robertson & Mr. Haardt there are about 6-10 regular club members that come each week; it’s a little disruptive when new students come in with a cavalier approach to the sacred time we are sharing together.

• Mr. Haardt & Ms. Roberston basically teach the class, alternating each week, and then open up for discussion with the students about prayer and what it means to be in silence together. They hope to give the students an experience of being quiet and of supporting their own capacity to find G-d in themselves and each other by sharing that silence together. The dates are posted throughout school. Essentially, the group meets every other Monday and every other Tuesday. You can see the dates outside room 209 for specifics.

•  Certain movies will completment & add to the undersanding of our curriculum! You can only use one/semester

• You must include in the reflection a discussion you had with another person about the film.
  

Special Events:

Ignatian Family Teach-in for Justice in Columbus, GA from November 20-23, 2008.

I t is an annual event organized by the Ignatian Solidarity Network (ISN). As mentioned on the Ignatian Solidarity Network website: “Since 1995, Jesuits, former Jesuits, lay pastoral leaders, and the broader Ignatian family have gathered at the gates of Fort Benning, GA, to commemorate the deaths of the Salvadoran Jesuit martyrs, their housekeeper and her daughter, the four churchwomen, and the many other men, women, and children who have been innocent victims of civil war and bloodshed. By the mid 1990's it was clear that the faith-based community along with many students from Jesuit universities, high schools, and parishes were becoming deeply involved in this growing movement. In an effort to organize students and families attending the protest, leaders from the Ignatian family created the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice, where thousands of participants gather for two days prior to a vigil. The purpose is to dialogue and strategize about ways to confront issues of injustice, poverty, and oppression both nationally and internationally. Convened every fall, the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice has come to hold particular significance as the largest meeting place of individuals from U.S. Jesuit-affiliated institutions, gathering in a remarkable display of solidarity to bear witness to the legacy of faith in action.”
