SUMMARY:Renovate: A Refresher Cohort for Spiritual Directors
DESCRIPTION:Renovate: Tools\, Support and Skills for Refreshing your Spiritual Direction Practice \n\n\nRenovate is a yearlong cohort for trained spiritual directors who are looking for additional training\, tools\, and support for their practice. Led by Anam Cara trained spiritual directors and supervisors\, Rachel Reed and Jeremy Frye\, this year long training includes monthly online training modules\,gathering for praxis\, as well as small group supervision. \nOver the course of the year we will take time to define spiritual direction\, discuss the role of supervision in the practice of spiritual direction\, learn and practice helpful (or practical) skills\, look at ethical dilemmas and relational roles\, explore what it means to be a non-manipulative presence and approach the topic that nearly all of us are uncomfortable with; the business of your spiritual direction practice. \n\n\nCohort is limited to 20 participants. \nHere’s what past participants are saying about Renovate: \n\n “Renovate has been a wonderful year of “continuing education” for my spiritual direction practice. I have learned so much from the collective wisdom of our community and loved that each of us were trained as spiritual directors in different programs.” – Pace\n\n\n\n“I have thoroughly enjoyed and been enriched by the Renovate course this last year. Rachel and Jeremy’s presentation\, information and individual wisdom were extremely helpful and encouraging. I was able to hone my skills as a spiritual director\, learn new concepts\, tools and awarenesses that I had not learned in my initial training. I know I am a better spiritual director because of this course.” – Kim\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Renovate  has been a great experience this past year. After many years of practicing spiritual direction\, Jeremy\, Rachel\, and the cohort members have helped me to reconsider best practices\, refresh some skills\, and consider some new approaches. Practicing spiritual direction can feel like a lonely journey at times\, but this community was very gracious and supportive. I feel refreshed to chart my path forward practicing spiritual direction.”  – Shelley\n\n\n\n\n\n$150 Deposit to hold your seat covers the first month’s fee. \nEarly Bird Registration is $1800\, billed at $150 per month. \n$2400 after March 1\, 2025 billed at $200 per month. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Monthly Rest and Reflect Group
DESCRIPTION:Monthly Rest & Reflect Group\nReflect on how God Meets You in Love in Your Everyday Life \nWhat is the story God is writing with your life? All too often we run from day to day\, appointment to appointment\, and miss the beautiful picture God is crafting with our lives. This is your invitation to rest and notice the threads of God’s love in your life and how they are weaving together a larger work of art\, your life. \nUsing variations of the Examen prayer\, this monthly gathering invites you to look back on the previous month in a reflective posture\, looking for the footprints of God in your everyday life. Together\, we will engage questions like\, \n“How has God loved me in the last month?”\n“What elements of my life were lifegiving?”\n“Are there areas I’m struggling with or where I sense love was missing?” \nThere will be ample time for quiet reflection and conversation with God around these questions. At the end of our time\, we will notice any invitations as we turn our gaze to the month ahead. \nYou may be surprised at the clarity of insight and direction that can come after this kind of reflection. Through regular reflection on how God is actively working in our lives\, we can begin discern with greater clarity our next steps. Over time\, we may begin to see how our lives take on a more coherent\, integrous\, and beautiful story. \nThere is no ongoing commitment\, come to one or come as often as you like. Each month will have its own registration. \nWorkshop Details:\nEvery Last Friday of the Month \n12:00-1:00 PM\, Pacific\nCost: $20\nHeld over Zoom \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Summer Group Spiritual Direction for Clergy & Ministry Leaders
DESCRIPTION:A Spiritual Direction Group for Clergy & Ministry Leaders: to remind us that we aren’t alone \nRecent data from the Barna Group says that 65% of pastors admit that they sometimes or frequently experience loneliness (a 20%+ increase from 2015). I’m sure this is no surprise to any of us\, as leadership often feels tiring\, isolating\, and lonely. \nIn an attempt to make space for clergy & ministry leaders\, spiritual director & pastor Holly Porter Phillips will be offering spiritual direction groups this summer. Groups of 4-6 attendees will meet together (via zoom) to bear witness to the workings of God in their own lives and those in the group. Each hour-and-a-half session will include a guided time of centering\, time for sharing\, silence\, and prayer. If you’re interested\, contact Holly Phillips (hollyporterphillips@gmail.com) or sign-up here. \nGroup Info:\n4-6 people\n$180 / person* for 6 sessions\nThursdays 6/12\, 6/26\, 7/17\, 7/31\, 8/14\, & 8/28\n10-11:30am CT via Zoom \n*Please do not let cost keep you from joining these groups\, reach out to Holly for options. \nHolly Porter Phillips is a pastor\, writer and trained spiritual director (Anam Cara). She walks alongside others (literally and figuratively) bearing witness to their lives. Holly lives in Austin\, Texas with her musician husband\, their three kids\, and a backyard full of birds. You can get to know Holly more through her substack. (https://hollyporterphillips.substack.com)

SUMMARY:Summer Group Spiritual Direction for Clergy & Ministry Leaders
DESCRIPTION:A Spiritual Direction Group for Clergy & Ministry Leaders: to remind us that we aren’t alone \nRecent data from the Barna Group says that 65% of pastors admit that they sometimes or frequently experience loneliness (a 20%+ increase from 2015). I’m sure this is no surprise to any of us\, as leadership often feels tiring\, isolating\, and lonely. \nIn an attempt to make space for clergy & ministry leaders\, spiritual director & pastor Holly Porter Phillips will be offering spiritual direction groups this summer. Groups of 4-6 attendees will meet together (via zoom) to bear witness to the workings of God in their own lives and those in the group. Each hour-and-a-half session will include a guided time of centering\, time for sharing\, silence\, and prayer. If you’re interested\, contact Holly Phillips (hollyporterphillips@gmail.com) or sign-up here. \nGroup Info:\n4-6 people\n$180 / person* for 6 sessions\nThursdays 6/12\, 6/26\, 7/17\, 7/31\, 8/14\, & 8/28\n10-11:30am CT via Zoom \n*Please do not let cost keep you from joining these groups\, reach out to Holly for options. \nHolly Porter Phillips is a pastor\, writer and trained spiritual director (Anam Cara). She walks alongside others (literally and figuratively) bearing witness to their lives. Holly lives in Austin\, Texas with her musician husband\, their three kids\, and a backyard full of birds.

SUMMARY:Renovate: A Refresher Cohort for Spiritual Directors
DESCRIPTION:Renovate: Tools\, Support and Skills for Refreshing your Spiritual Direction Practice \n\n\nRenovate is a yearlong cohort for trained spiritual directors who are looking for additional training\, tools\, and support for their practice. Led by Anam Cara trained spiritual directors and supervisors\, Rachel Reed and Jeremy Frye\, this year long training includes monthly online training modules\,gathering for praxis\, as well as small group supervision. \nOver the course of the year we will take time to define spiritual direction\, discuss the role of supervision in the practice of spiritual direction\, learn and practice helpful (or practical) skills\, look at ethical dilemmas and relational roles\, explore what it means to be a non-manipulative presence and approach the topic that nearly all of us are uncomfortable with; the business of your spiritual direction practice. \n\n\nCohort is limited to 20 participants. \nHere’s what past participants are saying about Renovate: \n\n “Renovate has been a wonderful year of “continuing education” for my spiritual direction practice. I have learned so much from the collective wisdom of our community and loved that each of us were trained as spiritual directors in different programs.” – Pace\n\n\n\n“I have thoroughly enjoyed and been enriched by the Renovate course this last year. Rachel and Jeremy’s presentation\, information and individual wisdom were extremely helpful and encouraging. I was able to hone my skills as a spiritual director\, learn new concepts\, tools and awarenesses that I had not learned in my initial training. I know I am a better spiritual director because of this course.” – Kim\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Renovate  has been a great experience this past year. After many years of practicing spiritual direction\, Jeremy\, Rachel\, and the cohort members have helped me to reconsider best practices\, refresh some skills\, and consider some new approaches. Practicing spiritual direction can feel like a lonely journey at times\, but this community was very gracious and supportive. I feel refreshed to chart my path forward practicing spiritual direction.”  – Shelley\n\n\n\n\n\n$150 Deposit to hold your seat covers the first month’s fee. \nEarly Bird Registration is $1800\, billed at $150 per month. \n$2400 after March 1\, 2025 billed at $200 per month. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Monthly Rest and Reflect Group
DESCRIPTION:Monthly Rest & Reflect Group\nReflect on how God Meets You in Love in Your Everyday Life \nWhat is the story God is writing with your life? All too often we run from day to day\, appointment to appointment\, and miss the beautiful picture God is crafting with our lives. This is your invitation to rest and notice the threads of God’s love in your life and how they are weaving together a larger work of art\, your life. \nUsing variations of the Examen prayer\, this monthly gathering invites you to look back on the previous month in a reflective posture\, looking for the footprints of God in your everyday life. Together\, we will engage questions like\, \n“How has God loved me in the last month?”\n“What elements of my life were lifegiving?”\n“Are there areas I’m struggling with or where I sense love was missing?” \nThere will be ample time for quiet reflection and conversation with God around these questions. At the end of our time\, we will notice any invitations as we turn our gaze to the month ahead. \nYou may be surprised at the clarity of insight and direction that can come after this kind of reflection. Through regular reflection on how God is actively working in our lives\, we can begin discern with greater clarity our next steps. Over time\, we may begin to see how our lives take on a more coherent\, integrous\, and beautiful story. \nThere is no ongoing commitment\, come to one or come as often as you like. Each month will have its own registration. \nWorkshop Details:\nEvery Last Friday of the Month \n12:00-1:00 PM\, Pacific\nCost: $20\nHeld over Zoom \nRegister Here
