How can we avoid getting caught up in the trappings of consumerism and a desire for more? Susie Tierney will draw from Franciscan spirituality\, our call to simplicity weaved throughout scripture and the wisdom of those working for the care of our planetary home to invite participants to reflect on what it means to live simply but fully in today’s world and to embrace a spirituality of abundance. The morning will include prayerful reflection and small group conversation. \n \nSusie Tierney is the Development Director for Iowa Migrant Movement for Justice. Prior to joining the Iowa MMJ staff\, Susie served as the Executive Director of JustFaith Ministries (KY) and Center for Social Ministry (IA). Susie has been doing presentations\, workshops and retreats on the intersection of faith and justice for over 25 years. She is a mom\, writer\, advocate and a Dubuque Franciscan Associate. \n\n\n \n \n Spirituality and Eco-Justice: Living Simply\, Living Abundantly\n Part of our Always Pray All Ways Series \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Phone(Required)Any dietary or other accomodations?Price\n \n \n Price:\n \n \n \n Payment Method(Required)Credit Card\n American ExpressDiscoverMasterCardVisaSupported Credit Cards: American Express\, Discover\, MasterCard\, Visa\n \n Card Number\n \n \n \n Expiration Date\n \n \n  \n Security Code\n \n \n \n Cardholder Name URL:https://theemmaushouse.org/event/spirituality-and-eco-justice-living-simply-living-abundantly/ LOCATION:The Emmaus House\, 3315 70th Street\, Urbandale\, 50322\, United States CATEGORIES:Always Pray All Ways ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://theemmaushouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/APAW-Eco-1-e1774446559602.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260502T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260502T120000 DTSTAMP:20260501T040701 CREATED:20260430T205053Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260430T205716Z UID:10001003-1777712400-1777723200@theemmaushouse.org SUMMARY:Labyrinth - Cancelled DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately we had to cancel our Labyrinth offering. There are many public labyrinths available in the Des Moines Metro and around the world! You can locate them at the World-Wide Labyrinth Locator. \nEvery year on the first Saturday in May thousands of people around the globe participate in World Labyrinth Day as a moving meditation for world peace and celebration of the labyrinth experience. Many “Walk as One at 1” local time to create a rolling wave of peaceful energy passing from one time zone to the next. \nWhat is a labyrinth? It is often mistaken for a maze\, however there is only one path in and one path out. It is often used for contemplative prayer or meditation. \n\nReleasing (Purgation): Letting go on the way in.\nReceiving (Illumination): Stopping at the center to receive through meditation or pray.\nReturning (Union): Returning the world with new insight.\n\nEven if we are unable to be together on May 2nd\, we trust that our prayers are joined with all the others in world peace through this contemplative practice.
