Each Saturday ZOOM gathering will focus on a particular aspect of the spiritual direction ministry.

  • There will be a time for prayer, GUIDED input sesions, breakout rooms. 
  • It takes time and leisure for integrating and internalizing the material presented.
  • At-home reading hours. 
  • The session concludes with a simple prayer ritual.

Participants will commit themselves to personal prayer, attentiveness to God's stirrings in daily life, on-going spiritual direction and personal study of the readings assigned.
