What People Are Saying
“The time that we have spent together is profound and nurturing for the spirit, a safe place of insight, warmth and connection. Within the weekly time, space and interactive encounters, love and eternity flow.”
— Participant“It is a place of holy sanctuary for both assessment and renewal. ”
— Participant“In the hour-long process, seeds of faith and love are planted — like tiny mustard seeds. These seeds are watered weekly in a safe environment but are also carried — with us — each participant — back — into our families, daily human encounters and relationships, the Church, and the world. We learn to better listen to ourselves, God and the Holy Spirit.”
— Participant“It's been thought provoking for me, and I've used this approach in some "difficult conversations!" ”
— Participant“I feel I benefited by being able to look back at encounters I have had that I could have handled differently. I am now more aware of when I react without thinking. Makes me a better person and a better Christian to be more thoughtful about responding to negative situations.”
