Coming home to our beloved selves
Hi, I’m Jen!
After a season of burnout and exhaustion, I realized that my way of life was unsustainable. That realization led me down a pathway where I learned a new way of being with God, others, and myself. Over fifteen years later, I find this work vital in a world that constantly demands chaos, exhaustion, and disconnection. I am delighted to create space for others to return home to their beloved selves and embody a different way of living with God.

Join a group of pilgrims who are seeking to integrate their pilgrimage discoveries and insights into daily life.

Camino Homecoming Retreat
Following the Camino, many pilgrims often find themselves lost when it comes to debriefing and integrating their experiences. Yet, this time of homecoming can be an incredibly powerful and clarifying season.
Join Pilgrimage Guide & Spiritual Director, Jen Manglos, for an online space to unpack your Camino experience. During this 1.5 hour retreat you’ll have space to share about your Camino with other pilgrims & explore ways to continue to bring your experience home.
Retreats are offered on a variety of dates.
Pilgrimage as Spiritual Practice: Discovering Sacred Wandering in Modern Times
The act of pilgrimage has a storied history, with countless tales of folks embarking on sacred wanderings to places of spiritual significance. Today we see a resurgence of this practice via trails like the Camino de Santiago, but how do we engage in pilgrimage as a spiritual practice in light of the lives we actually have?
| Join Jen Manglos as she offers this course with The Center for Transforming Engagement, an organization dedicated to supporting pastors, ministry leaders, community builders, and lifelong learners through trainings, courses, etc.
This course will offer a guided pilgrimage experience along with simple ways to incorporate a spiritual practice of pilgrimage into daily life. |
Group Spiritual Direction Basics
Each person embodies their own unique story, shaped by a variety of factors. What happens when a group of people, each with their own unique story, enters into a shared space? It may be the making of a disaster, but it also holds the possibility of catalytic experiences of connection, discernment, love, and the creation of a new story together. This is the beauty of group spiritual direction.
Through the lens of loving God and loving others, participants will be invited to welcome and navigate unique stories within their groups and nurture a curiosity amongst group members that cultivates deepening relationships. Engaging with a mixture of multi-disciplinary content, instruction, praxis, and prayer, spiritual directors will learn how to translate their training into group contexts. Participants will also learn about the life stages of a group and how to navigate various dynamics in a group setting.
