Group Spiritual Direction for Women in Ministry
Life in ministry is challenging. Life in ministry during the last few years has been challenging. Life in ministry during the last few years as a woman has been challenging. Throw in the normal ebbs and flows of life, and the need for rest and recuperation becomes vital.
Take time for a group spiritual direction experience curated especially for women in ministry. In this group you will have space to connect to other women in ministry, receive care, and share your stories of the beauties and deep pains of this unique vocation.
Groups are starting in January and February 2025.
Endings, Beginnings, and Liminal Spaces: Navigating Times of Transition
Transitions are a part of daily life, but often they create a sense of disorientation. Learn how to navigate beginnings, endings, and the liminal spaces that lie in between.
We’ll explore rituals to help us grieve, celebrate, and release so that we can move forward with freedom and clarity, as well as exercises to integrate gifts from past seasons into our present lives.
The Stories We Tell About Our Bodies
You’re invited to reflect on the narratives you’ve collected about your body & discover a story that makes space for the body you actually have as one who bears the image of God. This retreat will utilize story work, spiritual direction, & embodied practices to create a safe and welcoming place for healing and growth.

Entering into the Wilderness of Lent
It’s in the wilderness that we meet with the tension points of our faith. And it’s in the wilderness that our true selves are revealed. Our need for God is exposed.
Join in for this half day retreat, to enter intentionally into the wilderness that is Lent.
Pilgrimage in Place: Sacred City
What makes a place sacred? Take a pilgrimage throughout Seattle to discover the sacred places in the Emerald City.
This 5-7 mile guided experience will invite you to reflect on what we define as sacred and and what in our city might challenge our definitions.
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.
