Connect with us online for these times of meditation hosted on our Facebook page.
As the world around us changes in uncertain ways, meditation can connect us to a deep stillness and source of calm. In meditation we focus on our breath, that unchanging and essential connection to life, and are drawn into a peace that quiets and strengthens us.
Whether you have a meditation practice or not, we invite you to experience the power of meditation by participating in a virtual Sacred Pause.
Each Tuesday and Saturday morning, Tom Schemper, Director of the Replogle Center for Counseling and Well-Being, guides the meditation. It begins with a short instruction and reflection followed by time for silent meditation and closing words.

Using Zoom, this group continues to meet on the second Tuesday of each month. New members are welcome.
The Replogle Center for Counseling and Well-being is excited to announce the beginning of a group focused on the needs of men. The goal of the group is to provide a place for men to come together, in a place of safety and respect, to share their experiences, explore the meaning of being a man in today’s world, experience the support of a respectful group, and develop a sense of supportive community with other men.
The group is open to all who identify as men. Men of all ages, races, sexual orientation, and ethnic background are welcome and encouraged to join this new community. Our time together, and learning from each other, will be enriched by diversity.

Compassionate Listening:
Support for Essential Workers
As you care for others during Covid-19 pandemic, how are you taking care of yourself? Do you find yourself asking: Is there anyone I can talk to? Can anyone understand what this is like?
Speaking (even over the phone) with a person trained to listen deeply and compassionately can lessen anxiety and fear, and strengthen the ability to cope. To support you as you care for others, the therapists at the Replogle Center for Counseling and Well-Being are offering free, confidential 30-minute listening sessions for essential workers.
This is not therapy, but a time to share what is on your mind and in your heart. It is a time to speak about your experiences, concerns, and fears with a non-judgmental, supportive counselor. It is a time to take care of yourself while you are providing essential care for others.
To arrange for a phone session, call 312.787.8425. The therapists at the Replogle Center for Counseling and Well-Being are here for you.

Spiritual Life Coaching
Premarital Seminar
Spiritual Life Coaching
Spiritual Life Coaching, also referred to as spiritual direction, seeks to awaken us to the presence of the divine or sacred in our lives. A spiritual life coach or director is a companion on the journey of discovering how God or the transcendent is present in our day-to-day lives, as well as in moments of prayer and meditation. Spiritual Life Coaching is open to persons of all faith traditions who seek to deepen their relationship with the divine, to know their true self, and to be in right relationship with others.
To arrange for a spiritual director, call the Center at 312.787.8425.
