Inner Soul Work Groups provide leaders contemplative space to tend their own inner soul in community with others. Meeting once a month for a full day retreat, participants follow the gentle rhythm of gathering, contemplative prayer, two hours of silence and solitude, lunch and afternoon group sharing of the spiritual journey with attentiveness to God’s transforming presence.
The purpose of Inner Soul is to:
cultivate holy listening to God, self, one another, and creation;
explore the riches of contemplative life, prayer, and leadership;
experience being known and loved by God.
This Inner Soul Group may be for you if the “rug” of stability and predictability been pulled out from under you. You may be asking questions about life’s purpose and meaning? Who am I? Who is God, now?
During transitions, the old way is gone but the new is not yet known. This is not a simple change, but a deep, inner reorientation. This may include and is not limited to retirement, job or vocational transition, children leaving home, a change in marital status, or an inner awakening.
