Restlessness: "The state of being irritated or unsettled by the present-tense realities of our lives.”
How do we notice restlessness in our directees? Irritation? Boredom? Dissatisfaction? How do we recognize it in our own soul? Join us as we have a conversation with Casey about growing in our ability to recognize this within our own soul, as well as within our directees.
"Though these unsettled states [of restlessness] are cast as negative, that isn’t always the case. Sometimes restlessness is rooted in hopeful anticipation…Restlessness often describes longing, hope, and desire in ways that words and images cannot.” (Casey Tygrett, The Gift of Restlessness)
We’re excited for this opportunity to learn from Casey Tygrett, the author of “The Gift of Restlessness: A Spirituality for Unsettled Seasons.” Casey, a spiritual director and member of ESDA, will help us articulate both the reality of restlessness and the work of remaining with God in the wilderness. Spiritual direction is a prime place to wrestle with the tension of feeling stuck or dissatisfied while learning to wait on God. Come and glean from Casey’s insight and experience as well as the wisdom of your fellow spiritual directors. May we be strengthened, as restless companions, to discover the gifts in unsettled seasons.
Upon purchase you gain access to the event recording (available after event) & handouts
