Tending the Holy, Resting in Sacred Space
Treat yourself to this workshop with a focus on spiritual refreshment and healing. For those experienceing any of life’s myriad challenges--from demands of ministry to health or economic worries--or those experiencing a deep longing--a sense that there is more to this relationship with God than words can say--this may be for you. Immerse yourself in a prayerful, meditative morning with reflection on Scripture and explore deep rest in God’s boundless love. This workshop invites you into your own sacred space providing you with tools to aid this process for yourself and for your congregation. Come prepared to be refreshed in the contemplative breath of God and the music of your soul.
