Times Like These:
Three Contemplative Gatherings
Online with Lois Huey-Heck
Three Wednesdays: January 15, 22, 29, 2025
7 – 8:30 pm Pacific time
We are living in a time of great unsettledness and the changes can fill us with hope and promise or sorrow and despair. We most likely experience a chaotic mix of it all. In such times we need encouragement to love our neighbours as ourselves, love the Holy with all our heart and mind, and stay connected with others. We need communities who care about peace, freedom, compassion, and love – the healing of the world.
We invite you to create such a community for three evenings in January. Join Lois Huey-Heck for these spacious, contemplative gatherings with word, image, sound, and Silence.
Let’s gather around the virtual hearth to ponder the gifts of darkness and light.
Let’s pause in mid-winter and meditate upon hope and realism.
Let’s meet word, image, and sound as ways to find our way home.
Let’s open our hearts and remember – even across great distance – we are not alone.
Ages: 18+
The cost for three 1.5-hour sessions via Zoom is $107

Lois Huey-Heck
remembers the moment in her ninth year when her fear of night gave way to an experience of a safe, gentle, and Holy Dark. This numinous experience has been informing her ever since. Lois worked at Wood Lake Publishing for 30 years, was a program mentor in the Pacific Jubilee SoulGuiding program, and was director of spiritual nurture at Naramata Centre. Now Lois offers spiritual accompaniment to her household that ranges in age from five to 82. She also offers individual spiritual direction and online retreat leadership.
