“When I have been listened to and when I have been heard,
I am able to re-perceive my world in a new way and to go on.
It is astonishing how elements that seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens,
how confusions that seem irremediable turn into relatively clear flowing streams when one is heard.
I have deeply appreciated the times that I have experienced this sensitive, empathic, concentrated listening.”
―Carl R. Rogers
WHATS HAPPENING NEXT
Hello friends,
I'm taking a little hiatus from offering lots of things over the next few months due to a training program that I will be doing from Feb-Aug 2024, so that I will be even better equipped to serve you!
I am still meeting with people for 1-1 sessions of spiritual direction, mentoring and Immanuel prayer, so please do reach out for that- and join me this summer!
JOIN ME! for some Summer Backyard Gatherings!
I'm so grateful to be able to continue this fun tradition of inviting you to my backyard this summer for some soul filling time. We'll gather just three times and keep it light and easy. I'm excited to introduce and share together these two amazing Christian women authors/artists!
Meeting Dates: Wednesdays at 10am on June 5th, July 10th and August 14th
Books to read:
-
During the month of June read - Gifts from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh (we'll discuss on 7/10)
-
During the month of July read - one of Lillas Trotter's works. For a lighter devotional reading I suggest: A Way of Seeing or A Blossom in the Desert or for a meatier read try: Parables of the Christ-Life or Parables of the Cross (we'll discuss on 8/14)
Please let me know if you'll be attending so I can email you in case of any changes.
Save-the-date: A Summer retreat called Tending the Call
This retreat is being specially created for those in a holy listening ministry type role, such as a Christian spiritual director or those who companion others on their spiritual journey. We hope this retreat brings encouragement, support, clarity and a time of replenishment for you and in your ministry with the Lord.
DATES: Thurs. Aug. 10th to Sat. Aug. 12th, 2024 at Siena Retreat Center in Wisconsin, right on Lake Michigan. More info coming soon. You will also have the option to extend your stay thru Sunday, if desired.
Please reach out with any questions!
One-on-One Sacred Space appointments. Each week I have openings to meet one-on-one with you for Spiritual Direction or a more directed time of Discipleship/Mentoring or an Immanuel Prayer Session. The first session is complimentary to see if it’s a good fit for us both. You can simply email me to find a time that will work for us to meet. I also offer online sessions through Zoom.
Please let me know your intentions by the RSVP date. Thanks!
