Saturday brought 40 women for a daylong "Women in Transition" program by our spirituality director. The weather was gorgeous allowing the participants lots of time outdoors. Here they are at a gathering at the end of the day in our inner courtyard.This week, Monday evening through Saturday, also brings our annual community retreat. A number of our oblates come for the twice-daily conferences; some are here for the week, others come as they are able. This year's retreat director is Konrad Schaefer, OSB a monk from Mount Angel Abbey in Oregon, and professor of sacred scripture. He has been living in their dependent house in Cuernavaca, Mexico since 1995. Konrad is a member of the AIM USA Board of Trustees and as such has been here each fall for the annual meeting, so he and the community are not complete strangers.
