YOU Are Invited…

In May I received a certificate in spiritual direction from HeartPaths DFW. What does a spiritual director do? For me, it means that I sit with directees and listen for where God is active in their lives and I lend my expertise to help people develop a better relationship with God through prayer.

We 21st century folks often fail to notice God’s activity simply because we don’t slow down long enough to focus on God’s actions. God doesn’t trumpet his actions or post them on social media, so if one isn’t quiet and still and looking for that action, he or she will often miss it.

One of the best ways to “train” for this is through prayer. There are a plethora of ways to pray, but unfortunately many of those traditions have been lost over the centuries. Thankfully, spiritual directors are “keepers” of those traditions. Thus, I have exciting news for you!

I, along with my favorite HeartPaths spiritual directors, are facilitating the Taste and See prayer retreat on Friday, October 19th – Sunday, October 21st at Green’s Creek United Methodist Church in Dublin, TX. Participants will learn 5 prayer traditions (4 of their own choosing)! The cost will be  $ 40/person or $ 70/couple.  Registration ends Sunday, September 23rd, 2018.

We already have a number of people signing up for this and if you aren’t familiar with the following terms, this retreat is for YOU:

Audio Divina

Body Prayer

Centering Prayer

Examen

Lectio Divina

Sensate Prayer

Visio Divina

All instructional materials and 3 meals will be provided as part of the cost for the event. You do not have to be Methodist or even a Christian to attend. Just come with an open attitude and a journal of some kind. Interested? Go here and let me know!
