Do you long to deepen your relationship with God? Hear God's voice more clearly? Experience God's love more deeply?
Journaling can help you to slow down and pay attention to your heart so that you can share your most authentic self with God and open yourself to God's loving presence, comfort, healing, wisdom, and guidance.
Join me for this six-week journaling retreat experience as you tend to your heart and soul at your own pace through six different journaling practices: 1) awareness journaling, 2) dialogue and discernment journaling, 3) scripture journaling, 4) inner healing journaling, 5) creative journaling, and 6) story and legacy journaling. You'll learn the why and how of journaling, explore six journaling guidelines (there are no rules in journaling!), have access to weekly teaching videos, receive two journaling exercises each week, and interact online and through Zoom with other participants if desired. Whether you're a new journaler, a long-time journaler, or an on-and-off-again journaler, the retreat is designed to meet you where you are and help you to deepen your relationship with God.

your journaling journey
an ongoing group
Would you like to have ongoing guidance, community, and accountability for your journaling practice? This group is for those who have some journaling experience and would enjoy meeting monthly with other journalers. Each month we will have a theme, journaling prompts, inspiration/instruction, and a gathering to share our insights and writings and listen for God's activity and invitations through a process of prayerful listening. This is a new group, so please
contact me here for more information.

The Spiritual exercises of saint ignatius
Option 1: Individual Retreat in Daily Life
Option 2: Lightworks Group
Do you want to go deeper with God? Would you like to experience Jesus more personally and powerfully? If so, the Spiritual Exercises may be God's invitation to you in this season. The Exercises are a collection of meditations, prayers, and contemplative exercises that deepen your relationship with God as you journey with Jesus through imaginative prayer, entering into the Gospel stories and allowing his story to speak into yours. I offer both a nine-month Retreat in Daily Life for individuals (an immersive, transformative experience) and a condensed group experience called Lightworks (a wonderful introduction to the Exercises).

beloved
An Intimate retreat experience for women
Do you know in your head that you are loved yet struggle to believe in your heart that you are God's beloved—chosen, special, and cherished?
Do you long for a more intimate experience of God's love?
Do you feel you have to please or perform in order to earn the acceptance or love of God and others?
Are you weary of wearing masks and long for a place where you can share your story, be truly heard, and feel accepted and loved just as you are?
If so, you are invited to leave your masks at home and bring your authenticity to this unique retreat experience for women where you will be seen, known, and loved by other women seeking a deeper experience of God's love. With a very small number of women, you'll experience refreshing intimacy and plenty of space not only to be heard but also—and especially—to listen, to receive, and to rest. Throughout the retreat we will be walking through Psalm 139 together, making space for honest story sharing, attentive and sacred listening, silent reflection and rest, and experiential discovery of God's unconditional love.
When: November 12-13, 2021, Friday 6:30-Saturday 5:00 pm
Location: TBD (Could be an overnight or a "sleep at home" local retreat; in either case, it will be in the greater Nashville area and will include charcuterie on Friday night and light breakfast and lunch on Saturday)
Fee: TBD (will include meals/snacks, retreat fee, and accommodations)
