SPIRITUAL DIRECTIONWe are members of the Ecumenical Spiritual Directors’ Association (S.A.) and offer accompaniment for your spiritual journey. Bookings are essential. Please note that availability fluctuates from time to time because of the high number of requests and the reasonably small membership of this group. New training programs are in place and should result in greater availability in a year or so. STILLPOINT ON THE ROADStillpoint is committed to resourcing congregations and is able to offer a limited number of opportunities each year for retreats and workshops in country or metropolitan churches. Themes can range from a general retreat to give people “time out” for spiritual refreshment, retreats on particular themes (e.g. seasons of the church’s year); workshops on prayer, spiritual growth in congregations, discernment, intercession, living contemplatively, spiritual practices and so on. Talk to us about your needs. MID-WEEK HOLY COMMUNIONAt 12 noon on Tuesdays we gather around the kitchen table for Holy Communion. You are welcome to join us. |
