Terry brought his message of slowing down and letting our souls catch up with our bodies and did it ever hit home! His sessions, both morning and evening drew large crowds, wanting to find out about how to slow down their over-active lives and have a laugh in the process. Terry Hershey attracted crowds both young, old and in between. All had their eyes opened. They heard that it was OK to take ourselves less seriously, to slow down and to dance! Deacon Charles Boyer, Our Lady Queen of Angels, Newport Beach, CA Terry s presence presents a unique combination of spiritual insight, compassion and challenge to live what we believe as followers of Christ. He speaks with credibility out of his own struggles, with compassion and humor, to truly be a man of spiritual integrity. Msgr. Arthur Holquin, San Juan Capistrano Mission Basilica, San Juan Capistrano, CA We have never had the positive response to a speaker like the response we have received about Terry Hershey. People felt that Terry helped them to reflect, put things into their proper perspective, and even laugh at themselves a little bit. Terry s storytelling, warmth and genuine belief in the need to pause shone through in his presentations. People left his workshop realizing that the clock would keep on ticking and the checklists of life would always be there what we do about them is entirely our choice. There is, indeed, the opportunity for grace in every moment. Kelly Tries, Superintendent, Catholic Schools Kamloops Diocese, BC, Canada Terry is a charismatic presenter. He has a serious message delivered with humor and empathy for both human spiritual hunger and human fragility. Spiritual Directors International Don t just take their or my word for it. Come experience Terry yourself, next weekend, June 2-3. He will be speaking Saturday afternoon at 2:30, joining us for mass and the Steak Fry following, and speaking again Sunday evening at 6:30. The talks will be complimentary but not identical, so come to both! Books and audio recordings will be available after each presentation, along with light refreshments. Free will offerings to St. Thomas the Apostle will be gratefully accepted (suggested donation is $10-15). Visit his website subscribe to his free weekly spiritual reflection, Sabbath Moment, and make plans now to come and be inspired by his words! Terry Hershey is an inspirational speaker, humorist, author, dad, Protestant minister and landscape designer. He is addicted to golf. He lives on Vashon Island, near Seattle. His work has been featured on The Hallmark Channel, CNN, PBS, and NPR. Terry holds a mirror up to our fastforward, disconnected lives, and offers us the power of pause the wisdom of doing less and living more in order to regain emotional and spiritual balance; to find the sacred in every day.
