Hands Up

SOUL'S SANCTUARY 
(THRIVE TOGETHER SPIRITUAL DEEPENING) GROUPS, WORKSHOPS, & RETREATS  

Sacred Space to Experience Contemplative Practices and Authentic Community Together

 

 

Are you seeking a space of deep stillness and reflection, where you

can retreat and reconnect with the Spirit, yourself and others in the

midst of your busy life.... a space where you can also discover or

rediscover your unique identity along with other souls on the sacred

path?

Soul's Sanctuary Contemplative Companioning Groups, day retreats , and workshops offer an opportunity to slow down and restore your soul. These retreats,workshops, and groups are unique in that space and guidance are provided for silence, sacred reading, prayer/meditation, journaling, reflection, creativity and discussion. Each gathering, workshop, or retreat is custom designed for your group, business, church, or for you individually connecting to others on their journeys.

Soul's Sanctuary's group offerings provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be real and vulnerable as you explore direction on your Sacred Journey. My desire for these groups is to allow for a rich, transformative experience while integrating body, mind, and spirit and connecting with God's presence and others.

 

 Soul's Sanctuary offers in person and online spiritual direction, coaching, spiritual formation groups, workshops and retreats. Discover how deep soul reflecting guided space opens up greater Divine connection for you personally and within your community.

I am excited to be facilitating new contemplative groups this coming year both by zoom and in person in the Knoxville, TN area. 

This will be an opportunity to experience a taste of contemplative community and practices together as I facilitate and guide.

THE IGNATIAN SPIRITUAL EXERCISES: RETREAT IN DAILY LIFE

"St. Ignatius's "way of proceeding," to use one of his favorite expressions, has led people to more fulfilling lives for over 450 years. All in all, not a bad record.

The way of Ignatius is about finding freedom: the freedom to

 

become the person you're meant to be, to love and accept love, to

 

make good decisions, and to experience the beauty of creation and

 

the mystery of God's love." James Martin, SJ

The Ignatian Exercises Retreat in Daily Life can be experienced

 

individually or in a group. Every day you will be guided through

 

scriptures and reflections for rich times of prayer and spiritual growth.

Over the course of your retreat you will experience Jesus in profound and intimate ways growing in love and freedom on your spiritual journey.
