Spiritual Direction Groups

Are you looking for a way to deepen your spiritual life and explore new avenues of prayer? Join our "Sampler" group, where you'll have the opportunity to try out various prayer methods in a supportive and intimate setting.

This group is perfect for those curious about spiritual direction or simply wanting to refresh their prayer practices. Over seven months, we'll meet once a month to experience different approaches to connecting with God. You'll get to explore methods such as:

• Entering the Gospel Scenes: Imagine yourself within the stories of the Bible, encountering Jesus and the disciples in a new way.
• Praying with Poetry: Discover how the evocative language of poetry can open your heart and mind to spiritual insights.
• Praying with Art: Engage with visual art as a pathway to contemplation and a deeper connection with God.
• Praying with Picture Books: Experience the simplicity and profound wisdom found in children's literature as a unique form of prayer.

This group is limited to six participants to ensure a personal and engaging experience for everyone. If you're ready to embark on a journey of spiritual discovery, I invite you to join us!

Are you feeling a stirring in your soul, a desire to understand your unique place and purpose in God's loving plan?

We all have a distinct way of being in the world, a fundamental identity that shapes our choices and actions. God, in boundless love, created you with intention and a specific purpose in mind.

This group offers a sacred space and a structured approach to help you explore this profound question. Through guided reflection, contemplative prayer, and a carefully curated collection of Ignatian-inspired exercises and meditations, you will be invited to:

• Deepen your awareness of God's presence in your life and your inherent worth.
• Explore your deepest desires and longings as potential pathways to your calling.
• Discern the unique gifts and talents God has entrusted to you.
• Gain clarity on your fundamental identity and how it informs your purpose.
• Connect with a supportive community of fellow seekers on a similar journey.

This group draws upon the rich tradition of Ignatian spirituality to provide a framework for personal discovery and a deeper understanding of your God-given identity and purpose.

Prerequisites: This group is designed for individuals who have previously engaged with the foundational principles of Ignatian spirituality through completion of the full Ignatian Spiritual Exercises or the 19th Annotation of the Exercises. This prior experience will provide a shared language and foundational understanding for the group's explorations.

This is a continuing group- Half of this group will be on the second set of rules and half of the group will be a mix of praying with poetry and art.

In this group we will focus on paying attention to the inner workings of your heart. We will seek to understand the spiritual movements within you and make sense of them in a spiritual context. Once you grasp their significance, you can take appropriate action. In our spiritual journey, we encounter both consolation (warmth, closeness to God) and desolation (heaviness, distance from God). Saint Ignatius provides practical guidelines for discernment during these moments. Reflection exercises will help you apply these concepts to your daily life. This group format includes teaching, quiet reflection time, and group sharing.
