The Bellfry
Lexington, VA

This conference and retreat is designed for those who are currently engaged in or offering group spiritual direction and want to enhance their practice as facilitators or participants. It is an intentional opportunity to

Experience group spiritual direction each day;
Fine tune the foundation of this practice through reviewing key elements and addressing questions and concerns;
Learn about and share the variety of ways that people are using group spiritual direction;
Be inspired regarding the possibilities that emerge from the use of this practice and the ways it can transform our communities and our world.

The rhythm of our time together will include daily experience of group spiritual direction and advanced learning discussions; spacious afternoons and evenings for silent prayer and journaling; optional sessions for addressing leadership issues and questions.

All of this will happen in a relaxed and spacious way, allowing for the chance to experience group spiritual direction as a personal practice with plenty of solitude and time in the beauty and quiet of the Shenandoah Valley.
