You are invited to journey through the landscape of God’s grace with a cohort of others seeking to be courageous and compassionate in this pivotal time. Through two on-site retreats and monthly online peer calls, participants will be invited to explore their inner spiritual life, develop greater capacities to speak their truth and listen deeply to others.
May you be a pilgrim
traveling the landscape
of your soul.
May your soul be refreshed
by the living water of truth,
shocked into recognition
of your own face,
renewed with insight
and understanding.
