The Power of Music

Artists: Malinda Gerke, fspa (harp) with Nina Shepherd, fspa (violin) and Marcella Steffes, fspa (cello)
Facilitator: Joan Weisenbeck, fspa
Investment: $12
Music has an affect on every aspect of life--physical, spiritual, psychological and social. The effects of music in the lives of the performers is often stronger than it is in the lives of those who listen to it.. Sister Malinda Gerke has been practicing a non-scientific mode of music therapy for the past ten-plus years. As with other spiritual influences, the influence of music on her life has been gradual and almost non-perceptive in its growth, but it is non-the-less very real. Sisters Nina Shephard and Marcella Steffes have also participated in some music therapy work, and all of us have aided in the worship of the People of God in church services.
This is one of four salons held Wednesday evenings January 18, February 15, March 14 and April 18.

Who is this Woman We Call Clare of Assisi?
Wednesdays, January 25, February 1 & February 8 6:30 – 8:00 pm
Presenter: Joan Weisenbeck, fspa
Investment: $10 per session or $25 for the series.
It is the year of Clare of Assisi. Franciscans around the world are celebrating the 800th year of her decision to follow in the way of Francis of Assisi. This meant that she renounced her inheritance, rejected her social standing and place in society and the prospect of marriage to a knight or nobleman. In this three part series, Clare will speak to us in her own words and inspire us to hold sacred the journey that is ours. We will be invited to inwardly voice the truth of our own vision in life as we ponder her contemplative life, her call to radical poverty, her faithful and consistent dialogue with the church and her ministry of healing. We will gaze upon the person Clare to see clearly the gift of the feminine Franciscan heritage.
