From the intimacy of this communion, people can experience a sense of peace and oneness that empowers them to live and love more fully.Our community loved our 2023 Program Theme Facets of Joy and showed this via strong participation in most events. Happy to turn their attention towards joy, we offered a variety of in-person and Zoom programs to serve both our predominately Central Texas-based community and our growing nationwide friends. We had 1098 touchpoints or opportunities for engagement with our community in 2023, whether via a Zoom event or at our in-person gala. In addition, we attained a 45-50% open rate through our twice-weekly newsletters to over 800 individuals and heard from readers how much these uplifting newsletters meant to them.People were invited to explore joy and other Our 2023 Programming Theme was Facets of Joy. From workshops such as The Restoration of Joy in January with over 100 attendees via Zoom to a moving day with Angela Williams Gorrell speaking about grief and joy in Lost & Found in October, people were invited to learn more about and cultivate opportunities for experiencing the power of joy. In addition, we offered Poetry of the Season four times throughout the year, a three-part series on Celtic Spirituality, a mindfulness series, and a free 6-part Summer Interlude Series (via Zoom). These offerings reached 439 people.On-Going Groups meet from once a week to every other month. In all cases, they support the creation of a beautiful, intimate community within the larger Eremos community. Contemplative Mens Group, Benedicts Way, Contemplative Mornings and our newest weekly group, A Quiet Pause, combined had 462 participants over the year. Book Reflection Series (4 sessions over a month) offered three times per year are another way to get to know each other better as we explore in depth books connected to our program theme for the year. Combined, these groups supported 64 people, most via Zoom. For a deeper experience, we offered two one-day retreats to 26 individuals. Our Spiritual Director offers spiritual direction via Zoom, phone, and some in-person sessions, or, as appropriate, refers people to other spiritual directors in the Eremos community. With a busy travel schedule this year, the sessions offered on behalf of Eremos were only 82 in 2023. We expect the number of sessions to rise in 2024.Finally, with many ready to fully return to in-person gatherings, we hosted A Joyful Reunion community potluck in May and returned to an in-person gala in November. These two events served 78 people. 15992 15992 SHEILA SLEVIN MEMBER 1.00 0 JOHN FASSNACHT CO-PRESIDENT 4.00 0 SHARON DUNN SPIRITUAL DIR. 2.00 2044 KATHLEEN DAVIS CO-PRESIDENT 4.00 0 KRISTEN HAMLETT MEMBER 1.00 0 LESLIE WAGNER Secretary 2.00 0 DIANNA AMORDE Executive Dir. 30.00 61086 KAREN COTTON MEMBER 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false DIANNA AMORDE 3005 S LAMAR BLVD SUITE D109 71 AUSTIN TX 787048864 5122762649 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 42362 53677 71263 67925 56543 291770 21077 53591 37984 38344 41862 192858 0 0 0 63439 107268 109247 106269 98405 484628 19124 20251 11291 11010 11110 72786 0 19124 20251 11291 11010 11110 72786 411842 2855 1490 3156 2986 3384 13871 0 2855 1490 3156 2986 3384 13871 0 0 66294 108758 112403 109255 101789 498499 0.82620 0.79260 0.02780 0.04260 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED GALA 12002 12002 4924 BOARD CAMPAIGN 5630 5630 17632 17632 4924 4924 12708 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $3717 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $1145 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $1707 Other Expenses.1 PROGRAM EXPENSE $13369 Other Expenses.2 STORAGE EXPENSE $3066 Other Expenses.3 TECH SUPPORT & MAINTENANCE $1860 Other Expenses.4 COMMUNICATIONS $675 Other Expenses.5 STAFF DEVELOPMENT $564 Other Expenses.6 RENTAL SPACE-PROGRAMS $463 Other Expenses.7 BANK FEES $453 Other Expenses.8 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS $356 Other Expenses.9 FACILITATORS $300 Other Assets.1002 Furniture and Fixtures - Beginning $5334 Furniture and Fixtures - Ending $4076 Total Liabilities.1 PAYROLL TAXES PAYABLE - Beginning $1404 PAYROLL TAXES PAYABLE - Ending $1404
