Way of the Spirit

Prayer, Retreats, and Learning for Compassionate Action

LIVE SHOW N TELL Nov. 19, Dec. 4, Dec. 19, Jan 10. Info below.

Reflect and grow with God through study, prayer, and a series of retreats in supportive, ecumenical community.* Our gently guided, experiential approach is uniquely attentive to the movements of the Holy within each participant. From the wisdom of Quaker spirituality, in the Way of the Spirit you can:

  • Increase awareness of the Presence and guidance of God within you.
  • Ground and energize efforts for peace and justice.
  • Revitalize your relationship with the Holy through varieties of personal prayer.
  • Engage and integrate Christian and Quaker models, spiritual practices, and your own experience through a highly responsive, one-of-a-kind curriculum.
  • Foster your giftedness to help build up the Beloved Community in our turbulent times.

Online Show n Tell meetings scheduled through January 2019. See below.

 

*Way of the Spirit welcomes sincere seekers from several faith communities. We are enriched by the gifts of Quaker spirituality even as Quakers are enriched by other perspectives. We connect in our common yearning for the Holy, share deeply, and grow in faithfulness to our own paths.
