What is mine to do? Who am I called to be? Why am I here?

Through storytelling and sharing of their experience, the course leaders will help renew your appreciation of your life and cultivate your attention, receptivity and responsiveness to how the Spirit is leading and guiding from within, through nature, and through the people who mentor and inspire you.

The 6-session course includes:

  • Experiential exercises
  • Reflection questions and resources
  • Audio teachings that can be accessed at any time
  • Online course space that provides opportunities for journaling and shared reflection with other participants

“This online course helped me to gently notice and reflect on the totality of God’s movement over the course of my life. New ‘calls’ emerge over the years, but they have their rootedness in what has gone before. I also noticed the wealth of companions who have encouraged my faith. Thinking about who they are and how they inspire me helps define who I desire to become myself.”

– Valerie H.
