# Event Details

- **Event Name**: SMI Contemplative Workshop | Souvenirs of the Holy
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 10:00 am – Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 03:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: The regular objects of our lives can be conduits of God's love and grace--if we notice them. Using her book Souvenirs of the Holy, Laurie will guide us on a journey to help us see everyday items not merely as objects gathering dust but as keepsakes from the literal and spiritual journeys we have taken. We’ll reflect on the items in our lives that connect us to a God who dwells within and beyond the material world. This workshop will include conversation, quiet reflection, and journaling. Participants are invited to bring an object they have that holds meaning (or a photo of it if that’s not feasible.)
