Life in ministry is challenging. Life in ministry during the last few years has been challenging. Life in ministry during the last two years as a woman has been challenging. Throw Easter into the mix, plus the normal ebbs and flows of life, and the need for rest and recuperation becomes vital.

Take this time for a group spiritual direction experience curated especially for women in ministry. In this group you will have space to connect to other women in ministry, receive care, and share your stories of the beauties and deep pains of this unique vocation.

Groups will meet once a month for 2 hours for a total of 4 sessions. Both in person and online options are available. In person meetings will take place in North West Seattle. The total cost is $200. Please inquire for the availability of scholarships.

About Group Spiritual Direction:

 “The purpose of group spiritual direction is to provide a place where individuals can experience what it means to be listened to and loved by others, so that they can learn to listen more attentively to God in their daily lives
and be used by God to speak God’s grace and love throughout the world.”
     -"Seeking God Together," Alice Fryling

Spiritual Direction groups provide a welcoming, non-judgmental space in which to share our stories. Often called a place for prayerful listening, these groups leave advice giving and problem solving at the door so that we can enter into silence and listen to each other and for God in deeper ways.
