A Listening Lent Workshop
Prayer Practices that Take You to the Heart of Life
A Listening Lent invites those who want to pray, but who perhaps struggle with prayer, or wonder how to listen and hear God in their prayer, to learn and experiment with various Christian prayer practices in a communal, and grace-filled setting.
A Listening Lent invites you to let go of prayer as an obligation or religious “should,” and receive it as a way to create space to listen to the voice of Love in your life, and ultimately deepen friendship with God.
For each of the six weeks of Lent we will explore, try-on, and reflect upon a different form of prayer together, experimenting and playing with various ways of listening for God.
Prayer practices will include:
- Lectio Divina
- Examen
- Imaginative prayer
- Centering prayer
Come play/pray with us whether you’ve experienced one, all, or none of these.
Workshop Details:
Fridays, February 16 – March 22, 2024
12:00-1:00 PM, Pacific
Cost: $80, or pay what you can
Held over Zoom
Soul Care Retreat
“Come away by yourselves and rest awhile,” Jesus calls.
In our ever hurried, distracted lives, it’s not easy to slow down and listen to what’s going on within.
These soul care retreats nurture silence, solitude, reflection, and listening, as well as curiosity, wonder, and play.
My intent is to cultivate an atmosphere in which participants can experience themselves simply and honestly as the beloved with God.
What is offered:
- half day, full day, or weekend retreats
- for your church staff team, small group, group of friends, or even, just you.
- A collaborative approach to tailor a rejuvenating experience based on the desires and needs of your group.
- A holistic approach, focused on facilitating a mind, body, and heart experience in the presence of God.
- Spiritual direction sessions may be offered to participants during the retreat as well.
Schedule a consultation with me to tailor this experience uniquely to your needs.
Pathways Workshop
There are as many ways as there are people to connect with God, but we often find ourselves stuck in a rut in our routine, feeling trapped by what we think are the reliable roads to God.
Based on the book, Sacred Pathways by Gary Thomas, we will discover new pathways of connecting with and loving God. Not only will you learn about these pathways, but you’ll have the opportunity to try them on during our time together as I offer various exercises and practices so you can try on new ways of engaging with God.
- An adaptable workshop that may span anywhere from 4-12 weeks depending on how in depth you want to go.
- Includes an exploration of the contemplative, naturalist, and liturgical pathways.
- Creates space for individual exploration and group reflection.
