	As philosopher Sören Kierkegard put it, “We live life forward but only understand it backward.” This conference offers an opportunity for reflecting on life’s journey from our spiritual dimension. Through stories, scripture, silence, videos and conversations we will explore our passages through life. Just as in the lives of Christians before us, sometimes God’s presence is felt and sometimes God has gone ahead, leaving only faint footprints for us to follow. Participants are asked to bring a favorite short quote that gives them inspiration, and a symbol (a picture or small object) that expresses their belief in life. Presenter: Geri Furmanek Geralyn (Geri) Furmanek is National Director of Mission Enrichment & Oblate Associates for the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. She is a spiritual director, retreat leader, and creator of videos that call people to integrate their spirituality into their daily life. Her life experiences include being the youngest of three, working as a secretary, dental hygienist, and Catholic nun. In addition, she holds a BA in Theology from St. Louis University and a Master’s Degree in Pastoral Studies (Spiritual Direction) from Aquinas Institute, St. Louis, MO
