Living as Your Truest Self: A Day Retreat for Women
9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
Your "truest self" is a woman who is naturally confident, peace-filled, and loving. She is a woman who embraces her unique, divine connection. She is a woman who has created deep and sustaining spiritual practices for herself; has grown from personal suffering; does not fear speaking her Truth; opens her heart to others and celebrates our Oneness. Join with like-minded women for an insightful day-away and connect more deeply with your truest self. Together, we'll explore 12 Transformational Truths that can help us rediscover how to live in a sacred manner, and live as the "holy" and "whole" women we are meant to be.
Format: Group interaction, personal reflection time, meditation, and prayer.
Suggestion: Wear comfortable clothing, bring a journal to write in and a mat/blanket for meditation/relaxation.
Cost: $55, includes lunch.

Are You a Woman of Courage?
6:30-9:30 p.m.
Is it possible to live with fearlessness in challenging times? The saints and women mystics of the past say it is, especially Teresa of Avila, whose lead we will follow. We will explore how to navigate fear and worry, build personal fortitude, and live with greater courage, as she did. We'll learn new practices sourced in the world's wisdom traditions for releasing fear, building trust in the Divine, and more. (Group discussion, reflection time with journaling, meditation and prayer.)
Cost: $20.00

Individual Spiritual Direction
Ongoing — available in both Grand Rapids and Traverse City, MI, in person, or long distance over the telephone with ongoing support.
Individual spiritual direction is an ancient practice found in most religious traditions. It is for anyone who is searching for deeper spiritual insight. Through spiritual direction you can become aware of the many ways how Spirit or God is present in your daily life. If you long to deepen your relationship with the Divine so that you can recognize how Spirit might be calling/directing you, spiritual direction may be for you. Individual spiritual direction usually occurs once a month for one hour, either in person or over the telephone. It would be a blessing to speak with you. (231) 421-1181 for appointments.
