Listening to the Sacred Text of Your Life

Second Wednesdays
4:00pm - 6:00pm (PT)

Description
Through connection and mutuality with other group members in spiritual direction, we begin as strangers, traveling together in a desert. Some weary of heart, mind and spirit, in the rhythm of silence and contemplative listening, we stumble together into an oasis of friendship, healing, hope, joy, peace and encouragement. Join us as we welcome one another into this refreshing oasis.
You are invited to listen deeply in the community of others to the sacred text of your own life. An invitation to anyone who longs for Heart resonance with other spiritual seekers in a contemplative listening circle. Participants who desire to be seen, heard and welcomed will experience a virtual space that is safe and inviting. Join this brave space which is held to nurture deep sharing and listening among fellow seekers while learning the sacred practice of group spiritual direction.
Guided by Spiritual Director, Yin Mei Lawrence, you will meet regularly for 2-hour sessions with four to six other participants. Each session will include a rhythm of prayerful silence and meditation, personal sharing by participants, followed by prayerful responses to what each participant shares.
