Watching for Wonder - An Advent contemplative gathering
Join us in person for this Advent group journeying experience. Modeling a simplified group spiritual direction format, this 1.5 hour introductory session focuses on being present to one another by listening, learning the freedom of not giving advice or trying to fix people. This is a great space to get more familiar with and introduce friends to group spiritual direction.
Who is this for? This event is open to anyone who is curious about group spiritual direction, contemplative prayer or simply looking for a space to experience prayer and listening differently in a group setting.
