Clarity

Creative Arts Retreat
These retreats focus on the creative process to help us gain insight into our spiritual lives.  These can either be more structured with a theme such as creating our images of God, or can be more free form to see what we create, how the creation interacts with us and communally how our creations touch each other.

 

New Language for Spiritual Direction- Atheists Agnostics and NONEs
This workshop is an experiential exploration into using non-traditional language to talk about the sacred.  For people who are unfamiliar with or have been wounded by traditional language for the Mystery, these fresh approaches and ideas help us to come along side those we work with in new ways.


Contemplative Hike​

Contemplative Hike
This experience takes the form of a group walk out of doors to be internally quiet and notice the world around us and what that evokes in us.  Time is spent at the beginning and end in community reflection with the bulk of the time together spent in silent walking meditation.

 

Contemplative Conversation
These conversations incorporate silence and a gentle pace for a group exploring a theme.  Generally a spiritual practice or lectio devina opens this time of communal sharing as we explore together a particular theme.
