BETHESDA, MD -Shalem Institute will be hosting an evening and a day with
Rose Mary Dougherty, SSND, entitled, Contemplation & Justice, at the St. Mark Presbyterian Church, 10701 Old Georgetown Road, Bethesda, MD. The evening lecture entitled, Contemplative Practice and Social Action, will be held on Friday, November 3, from 7:00-9:00 p.m., and the day-long workshop, Zen as Contemplative Practice: A Way into Justice, will be on Saturday, November 4, 2006 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The cost for the lecture is $25 and the workshop is $65. Participants should bring a bag lunch to the workshop; drinks will be provided.
At the Friday evening lecture, Dougherty will consider the integral relationship between contemplative practice and just action as expressed in many faith traditions and how these contemplative practices can support our discerning the right responses. During the Saturday workshop there will be an introduction into the contemplative practice of Zen meditation. Participants will receive instruction in Zen sitting and walking meditation and will explore ways in which Zen practice can support a way of life that embodies God's compassionate action for the world.
Dougherty is Shalem's Senior Fellow for Spiritual Guidance, currently works as a volunteer at Joseph's House, a hospice for formerly homeless men who have AIDS, and offers retreats and group spiritual direction for hospice care-givers. She is a sensei (teacher) in the lineage of the White Plum Sangha.
