SUMMARY:Sugar Creek Midwest CW Gathering
DESCRIPTION:2023 Sugar Creek Gathering\n\n\n\nFrom organizer Eric Anglada: \n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s getting close to Sugar Creek time\, folks! Take a look at details below – I’d love to be inundated with volunteers for cooking meals (Friday supper through Sunday breakfast for roughly 75 people)\, Sunday CW liturgy planning\, variety show mc!  \n\n\n\nSugar Creek Catholic Worker Gathering \n\n\n\nSeptember 12-15th\, 2024 \n\n\n\nSaints Mary and Joseph Catholic Church  \n\n\n\n3218 110th St. – Preston\, Iowa 52069 \n\n\n\nAlso be in touch if you’d like to reserve one of the few\, precious (and tiny) private rooms.  \n\n\n\nA few notes before Maria’s Sugar Creek orientation below: \n\n\n\n-The house at SugarCreek is wheel chair accessible.  \n\n\n\n-For those interested in Mass at the adjacent church\, it’s happening at 8am that Sunday. \n\n\n\n-We need $800 to cover costs. Anything we raise beyond that will go towards Honor Native Land Fund.  \n\n\n\nFor people who haven’t been before\, I copied and pasted the below from Maria Bergh: \n\n\n\n-You can get to SugarCreek as early as Thursday\, but most people show up on Friday and there are no group meals provided until Friday supper.  \n\n\n\n-The only food and drinks we have while we’re there is what we bring. Don’t depend on someone else to bring you food outside of planned meals — this is a great chance to empty your cupboards of all the stuff that hasn’t been eaten in the last six months. Likewise\, this is an event with alcohol\, if you want to drink\, consider making a contribution.  \n\n\n\n-It’s customary for large-ish CW contingents to support Saturday/Sunday meals. That means bringing the ingredients and prepping\, cooking\, serving the meal. It is customary to accommodate vegetarian\, vegan\, and GF options. There may be extra ingredients around to use from farms or other donations\, but no promises. BYO spices\, oils\, some even BYO sharp knives\, but most basic equipment is provided. Other CWs usually pitch in to support the dishwashing to lighten the load.  \n\n\n\n-Agenda: Friday night is informal fun / campfire\, Saturday morning is introductions\, agenda setting\, and then 3 round table sessions\, usually with 3-4 options of round tables during each session. One of the round table sessions occurs concurrent with a soccer game. After dinner is a skit / talent show. Be prepared. Sunday morning breakfast\, worship\, clean up & departures. \n\n\n\n-Accommodations: there are limited indoor restrooms including tiny showers\, a CW-esque kitchen\, several bunk rooms (bring your own linens\, pillows)\, a field for tents\, and port a potties. There are a couple private rooms\, priority for families with kids. \n\n\n\n-Rules: don’t sleep in the cemetery\, no pets. \n\n\n\n-Pack it out: all the extra food / compost / trash / recycling needs to go somewhere. Usually nearby farms take the compost\, but if you have room in your car for a bag of trash or recycling\, please help the cause. Usually you can also easily score a sandwich and / or snack (or more valuable things like a jar of honey or pickles) for the ride home as you help clean up the kitchen. \n\n\n\n\nPeace\, \n\n\n\n\nEric Anglada – St. Isidore Catholic Worker Farm  \n\n\n\n608.568.3630 (landline)  \n\n\n\ncatholicwo…@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Agronomic University Online
DESCRIPTION:Agronomic University Spring Semester: The Order and Beauty of the World  \n\n\n\nThursdays\, 5-6:15 pm Pacific via Zoom\, beginning February 1st \n\n\n\nSign up here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis spring and summer’s agronomic university semester will be devoted to contemplation of what Simone Weil calls “the order and beauty of the world.” In what will serve as the theme-setting piece\, her essay “Forms of the Implicit Love of God\,” she points to an underlying affinity between science\, art\, religion\, and personal love. Each involves our relationship with particular “images” or models of God’s creation as a whole – as beautiful\, as coherent\, as obedient\, or as responsive to us\, respectively.  \n\n\n\nWhen we contemplate such images with attention\, Weil claims they function as “sacraments”– even the cosmological and mathematical models that will be our focus. Like sacraments [from Greek\, mysterion] proper\, these images are icons of the mystery of Truth itself–functioning this way for us because of\, rather than in spite of\, their limiting particularities.  \n\n\n\nWith this potential in mind\, we will turn our attention to an eclectic set of images/models: from cosmology (ancient Roman\, modern\, and Biblical)\, geometry (Pythagorean\, Byzantine iconography\, and as applied ethically/spiritually)\, and “pattern language” as it is described by the architect Christopher Alexander. Rather than a formal class\, our time together will take the form of shared exploration with occasional help from guest presenters and facilitators.  \n\n\n\nOur discussions take place on Thursdays\, 5-6:15 pm Pacific / 8-9:15 pm Eastern via Zoom.  \n\n\n\nDuring our first session on 2/1\, we will discuss Weil’s “Forms of the Implicit Love of God.”  \n\n\n\nDuring the rest of February\, we will be joined by Andrew Brown – a Ph.D. Candidate in physics at Princeton\, poet\, and an incredible teacher! – who will lead our unit on ancient and modern cosmology\, taking Roman poet Lucretius’ On the Nature of Things and Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time as our primary texts. \n\n\n\nYou can find a full (tentative) calendar here.  \n\n\n\nSign up to join us here!  \n\n\n\nFor background on the Simone Weil Catholic Worker’s “agronomic university” project\, including past courses on recapitulation and Scripture\, check out our website.

SUMMARY:Revolution of the Heart: The Spirituality of Dorothy Day
DESCRIPTION:The co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement\, a prolific journalist and determined\, social activist\, Dorothy Day (1897-1980) is coined by many as “New York’s saint”. \n\n\n\n\nHow does her radical spirituality – grounded in volunteer poverty\, non-violence\, eucharistic devotion\, and activism – speak to people of this day and age?\n\n\n\nHow might she be a wisdom figure in the contemporary world which is often deemed as secular\, materialistic\, and techno-centered?\n\n\n\n\nThis day-long conference at Mariandale provides opportunity to unpack these questions with people who knew Dorothy well: her granddaughter\, Martha Hennessy\, and Robert Ellsberg\, Editor-in-Chief of Orbis books\, who lived in the Catholic Worker in the mid-70’s and who edited Dorothy Day: Selected Writings; By Little and by Little (2005). \n\n\n\nActive Catholic worker members\, along with students and faculty of area Catholic Colleges\, will lead discussions as they seek to make sense of Dorothy Day from a contemporary lens. The day will provide ample opportunity for prayer\, reflection\, and enjoyment of the scenic land at Mariandale. \n\n\n\nCo-sponsors include: Fordham University\, Iona University\, Manhattan College\, Molloy University\, Mount Saint Mary College\, Sacred Heart University\, Seton Hall University\, and St. John’s University\, and the University of Mount Saint Vincent. \n\n\n\nDate/Time: Saturday\, April 13 from 9:30 am to 4 pm \n\n\n\nFee: $40 (includes lunch) \n\n\n\nThe Keynote Speakers’ presentations are as follows: \n\n\n\n\n“The Duty of Delight: Dorothy Day and the Spirituality of Daily Life\,” Robert Ellsberg\n\n\n\n“Dorothy Day and the Mystical Body of Christ\,” Martha Hennessy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuest Speakers: \n\n\n\nMartha Hennessy is a peace activist and member of the Catholic Worker Movement co-founded by her grandmother\, Dorothy Day. She is the seventh child of Tamar\, Dorothy Day’s only child. She has been arrested and imprisoned protesting nuclear power\, war\, the use of drones\, the torture of prisoners in Guantanamo and other prisons\, and the use of starvation as a weapon of war in Yemen. She has traveled to Russia\, Egypt\, Iraq\, Iran\, Afghanistan\, Jordan\, and Palestine to understand the effects of war on other peoples. Martha divides her time between the family farm in Vermont and volunteer work at Maryhouse Catholic Worker in New York City. She travels and speaks on the topics of life and work in community\, Catholic Social Teaching\, and peacemaking efforts in the tradition of the Catholic Worker movement. \n\n\n\nRobert Ellsberg\, Editor-in-Chief of Orbis books\, who lived in the Catholic Worker in the mid-70’s and who edited Dorothy Day: Selected Writings; By Little and by Little (2005). \n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\nSaturday\, April 13\, 2024 9:30AM – 4:00PM EDT \n\n\n\n\nAdd toGoogleOutlookiCal\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nThe Center at Mariandale\n\n\n\nPhone: (914) 941-4455299 N Highland Ave.Ossining\, New York10562United StatesWebsite

DESCRIPTION:Catholic Workers Invited to Spend Holy Week in the Desert\n\n\n\n“We still hold that nonviolent resistance is the only sane solution…” Dorothy Day\n\n\n\nSACRED PEACE WALK\, MARCH 23-29\, 2024\n\n\n\nIn this season of wars\, a worldwide refugee crisis and the climate thrown into chaos\, when the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moves up its doomsday clock to 90 seconds before midnight\, the Nevada Desert Experience invites you to join us in an event of hope and resistance in the desert. \n\n\n\nOver Holy Week\, March 23-29 this year\, as for most of the past 40 years\, NDE will host The Sacred Peace Walk\, an interfaith journey of approximately 60 miles from Las Vegas to the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS\, formerly the Nevada Test Site) through the Mojave in Nevada\, on the beautiful traditional lands of the indigenous Western Shoshone and Paiute peoples. \n\n\n\nSTOLEN LAND; THE MOST BOMBED PLACE ON EARTH\n\n\n\nThe NNSS\, established on land stolen from the Western Shoshone nation\, was the primary testing ground of American nuclear devices from 1951 to 1992; 928 announced nuclear explosions occurred there\, making it the most bombed place on earth.  Since then\, it has continued to be the site of “subcritical” nuclear tests and other research for new nuclear bombs and for the “life-extension” of old ones. \n\n\n\n“TICKLING THE DRAGON’S TAIL\,”MAKING SURE THAT NUKES ARE “GOOD TO GO”\n\n\n\nEven as we walk to the NNSS in March\, it is expected that parts for the new “Scorpius” linear induction accelerator will arrive there before we do.  This machine\, the length of a football field and 1\,000 feet below the ground when completed in four years\, would conduct experiments with high-energy bursts of X-rays and plutonium. Government scientists call these experiments “tickling the dragon’s tail” and insist that they are necessary to ensure that the aging stockpile of nuclear weapons will be “good to go” if the decision is made to use them and exterminate most life on the planet. \n\n\n\nRESIST DRONE MURDERS\n\n\n\nCreech Air Force Base\, about halfway from Las Vegas to the test site\, is the center of drone warfare and assassination for the US military and the CIA.  NDE began protesting there in 2009 and since then war from a distance by remote control has grown to be a staple of US policy\, and instrument of terror that exacts a horrific toll on civilians abroad and moral injury on troops at home. \n\n\n\nNUCLEAR STATIONS OF THE CROSS\n\n\n\nThe walk will end at the NNSS with a “Nuclear Stations of the Cross” procession from the historic Peace Camp to the gates. With permission of the Western Shoshone National Council\, some will enter the test site\, risking arrest. After more than 30 years of not prosecuting activists arrested at the NNSS\, local authorities have recently begun charging those who cross their line with trespassing. \n\n\n\nMarch is a beautiful time to camp in the desert along the way and there may be limited indoor accommodations. Walkers are asked to bring their own camping gear\, but some equipment is available to borrow. Support vehicles will follow along the route to provide water\, snacks\, first aid supplies and porta-potties.  All meals will be provided. You are free to walk the portion of each day’s route that is comfortable for you. Volunteers are needed each day to support the walk by providing/serving meals\, driving support vehicles\, donating snacks and supplies\, and other tasks. \n\n\n\nThe suggested registration fee for the SPW is $125 general and $75 for veterans\, seniors and students or $20 per day. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, to register or make a donation\, see http//nevadadesertexperience.org/spw or call Brian Terrell at 773-853-1886. \n\n\n\nPlease join us to resist nuclear weapons and endless war\, stand up for indigenous rights and create a peaceful\, sustainable future. Together we can transform fears into compassion and empathy into action during NDE’s annual Sacred Peace Walk!

SUMMARY:Personalism Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Virtual: Online Event \n\n\n\nIn collaboration with our friends at the Canterbury House in Chicago\, we are hosting a Personalism roundtable discussion. Inspired from philosophers and writers such as Peter Maurin\, Emmanuel Mounier\, Nikolai Berdyaev\, and many others. \n\n\n\nSome of the questions we will be pondering: \n\n\n\n\nWhat is Personalism?\n\n\n\nIs there a specific personalist thinker you’re partial to?\n\n\n\nWhat (if any) are the limits to Personalism?\n\n\n\nWhat are some Personalist reforms we might strive to enact in our lives and/or society?\n\n\n\n\nThe structure of this roundtable is simple. We will have a panel of people from the Maurin Academy\, Canterbury House\, and a few colleagues of ours with lots of knowledge and familiarity on the topic discussing some of these questions above\, and then we will leave plenty of time to field questions and perspectives from attendees.
