Immaculate Heart Retreat Center will offer a Day of Reflection on Eastern Spirituality & Mysticism on Wednesday.

IHRC described the event:

“The silence at the depth of our being and the heart of the universe is unaffected by the turmoil of life. It is here where we will encounter the divine presence, experience our true selves and find the freedom and power to live the fullness of life.”

The day of reflection will be led by Paul Coutinho, an internationally recognized Ignatian scholar, author, and speaker who brings an Eastern flavor to Western spirituality. A native of India, he frequently leads retreats, gives spiritual direction, and trains people to lead the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. He has a doctorate in historical theology from Saint Louis University.

The Day of Reflection begins at 9 a.m., includes three conferences, and lunch. Cost is $35 per person. Register in advance by calling (509) 448-1224 or online.
