The Wisdom WithinAn Invitation to Rest, Listen, and Trust

A Spirituality Workshop with Bridget Chamberas

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Amid the busyness and demands that come with this time of year, we can easily lose touch with the stillness within us. Yet Jesus gently invites each of us to come as we are, lay down what weighs upon us, and rest in God's presence.

The Wisdom Within offers a two-hour pause from the noise and activity of everyday life—an opportunity to enter into a time of rest, reflection, and deep listening.
Grounded in Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:28–30, we will explore what it means to become rested enough to listen: to God, to ourselves, and to the Wisdom that lives within us.

Through contemplative practice, silence, personal reflection, journaling, and conversation, participants will be invited to make space for Wisdom, listen to what is stirring within, and consider what it might mean to trust what they hear.

This spacious, retreat-like experience offers an opportunity to rest in God's presence and become more attentive to the quiet voice of Wisdom within.

About Bridget Chamberas

Bridget Chamberas is a spiritual life coach, spiritual director, and retreat facilitator who is passionate about creating spaces for reflection, deep listening, and spiritual growth. She holds a Master’s degree in Religious Education and Pastoral Ministry and a Post-Master’s Certificate in the Practice of Spirituality from Boston College. A member of Acton Congregational Church, Bridget is grateful to share this experience with the community she calls her spiritual home.

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric Stays Independent

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric

128 Announces Local Independent Ownership For Good One question that Ryan Williams, President of 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, keeps getting is: “Did you sell?” and the answer is always In recent years, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home services have seen significant consolidation. In Greater Boston, 128 is one of the only home service companies that remain local, private, and independently-owned. This led Williams to seek out organizations that aren't just in business to sell, but to thrive long-term. He found the Tugboat Institute®, focusing on value, purpose, and people-driven businesses planning to remain independently-owned for 100+ years through their Certified Evergreen® status. 128 applied with the help of its entire team and received the honor of becoming Certified Evergreen® a year later. Watch 128's announcement here: https://youtu.be/g5rsiZW7B1k?si=KeR42U8H9GXnCJkH Does this impact customers? Customers want reliability and support for years down the road from their home service company, and choosing an independently-owned company can reduce uncertainties. Does this impact tradespeople? Ownership can influence company culture, communication, alignment, and priorities. With a labor shortage, it's important there are industry leaders willing to continually invest in education, which 128 is proud to offer its own school. Choose Local and Independent. 128 is proud to announce its continued local and independent ownership to bring stability and confidence to employees, customers, and communities for generations. Williams states that "128 answers to its customers and employees, not investors", and is not for sale. 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric was founded in 1992 and is a top home service company in Eastern MA. 128 is known for its 5-star service, base+ membership, Finish Strong Friday®, and its Red Sox partnership.
