Introduction to the Catholic Workers Movement
2022-11-20 12:00 - 14:00
Introduction to the Catholic Worker Movement: Building “a society where it’s easier to be good”
Members of the Simone Weil Catholic Worker in NE Portland will introduce the Catholic Worker movement, focusing on the three key components of the Catholic Worker “program”: houses of hospitality, roundtable discussions for “clarification of thought,” and “agronomic universities.” They will share how their community tries to live into this vision through their two houses of hospitality and their agronomic university and communion economy projects.
Bio: The Simone Weil House was founded in 2019 as a house of hospitality in the Catholic Worker tradition. The Catholic Worker Movement was founded by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin during the Great Depression. What began as a newspaper grew into a movement of houses of hospitality whose aim is to “live in accordance with the justice and charity of Jesus Christ” through practices of nonviolence, the works of mercy, manual labor, and voluntary poverty.

Rev Carol McKinley
The common good is the moral center on which this country was founded, yet it seems as if there is a decreasing sense that we are all in this together. We must reclaim and proclaim our understanding of the common good, reminding ourselves and others that each of us exists in relationship to others.

Getting Siblied
2022-11-06 12:00 - 14:00
Mallory Eaglewood’s paternal grandparents shared a wound – both of them were forced to leave their families as children to assimilate into a culture that wasn’t theirs. But one was a White man, and one was a Native woman, meaning the grandmother’s history and culture were secret, not to be spoken of in public. Their stories are shared by hundreds of thousands of people throughout North America. Mallory will share her grandparents’ history and its impact on her own life as a Canadian.

***MALLORY WILL JOIN VIA ZOOM–WE ARE STILL MEETING IN PERSON THOUGH!

Bio: Mallory Eaglewood has written six books: 2 novels: THROWAWAY PEOPLE and PINK PISTACHIOS; 3 books of poetry: HUMMINGBIRDS, Vols 1 and 2(English Poetry) and Oiseaux-Mouches (French Poetry); and 1 collection of short stories, THE GOOD LIFE(sailing in the South Pacific).
She has had a career in teaching literature, working as Head Teacher, lecturer and Course Programmer in English Literature.
Her life experiences include serving as an officer in the Canadian Military, being a meditation mentor in a Buddhist Abbey, dealing with a gunman in the Syrian desert, and not becoming lunch for a couple of 5 ft sharks at 30 feet below the surface, off Bali.
She has lived and worked in Scotland, England, Germany and Greece.
A grandmother of three, She’s presently a full-time writer from my home base, a small red cabin in the woods, situated on a sparsely populated little island off the coast of British Columbia.
