What We Offer…

Spiritual Direction
From the early faith fathers and mothers, the practice of spiritual direction (or spiriutal guidance) has been valuable to help see the activity of God in our lives and deepen communion with God. We offer both personal or group direction (mentoring). Make an appointment (for in-person or by- phone) with Lainie through our contact tab.

Groups and Classes
Experiential learning communities that cover a variety of topics to facilitate one’s spiritual and leadership formation, usually lasting six-to-eight weeks. Check the Schedule of Events page for a current listing.

Quiet Days/Evenings (Retreats)
From early spiritual fathers and mothers we see the practice of leaving the crowds to “retreat” or go to a quiet place for rest and re-focus. As our lives become fuller, we need to practice a rhythm of Sabbath or “Retreat.”

We offer “Quiet Days and Evenings,” which may be scheduled for a half-day (morning or evening) or full-day (9-4 PM). You can also schedule a retreat during a long lunch or break in your day. Quiet days may include time for Holy Communion, Prayer and Worship, reading and rest. We also offer spiritual direction by appointment. A meal is available for full-day guests.

Weekday Healing Prayer or Meditations
See the Events page for description and schedule, or contact Lainie to schedule your personal prayer/meditation time.

Focused-Life Consultations
Personalized or small group guidance that helps you bring clarity to God’s call for your life and prepare an action plan for implementation. Make an appointment with Daniel through our contact tab.
