How Do I Discern the "Voice of God”?

Sunday, January 9, 2011; 9:30 am – 3:30 pm $65

Vocation, a soul invitation, is to live in alignment with God's will. This is living in the spirit of discernment and listening to a deeper Voice than the ego. This workshop will examine the heart of deep listening and courage to enact the invitation.

Soulful Friends

Saturday, January 15, 2011; 9:30 am – 3:30 pm $65

 

The soul awakens through human encounters with others. This workshop will illustrate the significance of multiple forms of human relationship such as mentors, directors, companions and intimate soul friends. These allow us the capacity to grow, heal and awaken assurance in the love of God. The workshop will use Jungian and Christian insights.
