    Who is Woman? The Journey from Eve to Mary Benedicta Institute Spring Online Immersive Course

    Benedicta Institute for Women

    Spring Online Immersive Course: Who is Woman? The Journey from Eve to Mary

    Theme: God and the Human Person

    3 equivalency credits

    Instructor: Donald Wallenfang, Phd, OCDS

    This course will explore the mystery of woman through Catholic teachings and insights from leading Catholic scholars on femininity. Drawing from the works of Gertrud von le Fort, Alice von Hildebrand, Prudence Allen, and, above all, Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, students will discover the essence of feminine genius in contrast to the cultural confusion that obscures the true nature of women today. A journey will be made from the fallen disobedience of Eve to the redemptive obedience of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

    This online course will take place over the course of five weeks. Participants will read required texts, view weekly instructional videos, respond to weekly posts based on readings, and attend Zoom sessions with Dr. Wallenfang each Thursday from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm to discuss insights gained through the readings and have questions answered.

Quotes from Past Events:

“This weekend was such a joy! The masses were all so beautiful. This whole experience was uplifting and my spirit just soared when singing ‘ Women of Grace®’. I indeed do want to live as a woman of grace. Thank you!”
Judy, Past Women of Grace® Retreat Participant
“This conference made me more aware of the power of prayer of the Rosary, the power of healing in the Eucharistic adoration and the communion with Christ and His Church in the Eucharist. Everything was so beautiful. I found all of the talks very healing, enriching, and powerful!”
Maria, Past Women of Grace® National Conference participant
“This conference helped me to increase knowledge of my Catholic faith and filled my soul with the joy and strength to always try to be a better Christian, woman, and daughter of God.”
Ivette, Past Women of Grace® National Conference participant
“I loved the depth of worship of Jesus present in the Eucharist with Catholic sisters who understand it… a holy sisterhood. It also provided me with the tools that will help me develop a deeper prayer life. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. I have sisters who also aspire to become holy.”
Barbara, Past Women of Grace® National Conference participant
“I recently attended the retreat at St. Magdalen de Pazzi (New Jersey) where you spoke, and WOW! It was wonderful… thank you. You touched on so many things that are dear to my heart, namely, the beauty and responsibility of a woman. I have a huge devotion to Our Lady, St. Louis de Montfort and St. Maximilian Kolbe, so that made the retreat special to me. Thank you.”
