Silence and Reflection


“This e-course was a valuable tool for me to explore ways to deepen my daily spiritual practice. Grounded in that place of the spiritual heart, I begin to discern God’s call of love (not just the voices of my ego and mind) and am then able to respond more faithfully to that call in my work and my relationships.”

– Elaine D.
