Eternity In The Heart | An Existential Journey Through Scripture
With Nicholas FournieWe spend our lives trying to outrun the truth that nothing lasts. But what if the awareness of our mortality isn't something to fear, but a doorway to a more honest and liberated life? In this 4-day contemplative course, we explore the ancient wisdom of the Bible on impermanence, loss, and the paradox of being "dust and breath." Through guided reflection, silence, and scripture, you will learn to sit with unanswerable questions, find comfort in cosmic perspective, and embrace the art of letting go. In this course, you will: Make peace with limits: Find rest in your creaturely fragility. Sit with mystery: Walk with Job through loss into awe. Hold the paradox: Balance fleeting time with eternal longing. Practice surrender: Learn to live fully with open hands. This course is for anyone (spiritual, religious, or simply curious), who feels the ache of passing time and wants to live with courage in a temporary world.
