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:An Inner Journey towards God with The Ignatian Spiritual Exercises
DESCRIPTION:The Ignatian Spiritual Exercises are a 9-month journey of discovery – a deep dive into the internal workings of your heart and life\, a deeper discovery of who Jesus is\, and often\, a deeper understanding of how the desires within your own heart might illuminate the way you want to live this one glorious life with God. \nAlong the way\, you will be encouraged to embrace the depth of God’s love for you and deepen your friendship with the Living Jesus as you come to see his nature and nurture with the people around him. \nOver the nine-month journey there is intent towards daily engagement with the prayer materials (40 – 60 minutes each day). As a prayer pilgrimage that is a retreat-in-daily-life\, there will be the ups and downs of life\, visitors\, interruptions\, travel\, so the hope is towards 5 hours of prayer each week. \nAdditionaly the time committment involves nine\, 1.5 – 2.5 hour group sessions (length of time varies depending on number of participants\, not to exceed 8) via Zoom\, preparation for each theme by viewing nine video teachings by Bill Zuelke of Soul Formation prior to our group meeting (approx 1 hour each)\, and nine (up to 13) individual spiritual direction sessions via Zoom with me (approx 45 minutes – 60 minutes) spaced between the group sessions. You can expect to be present either in a group session or one-on-one with me about every two weeks. \nTo discover if this is the next right step in your spiritual journey\, reach out for a discovery conversation at info@thesoulcareplace.com. \nSpace is limited. \nTo Register: info@thesoulcareplace.com

SUMMARY:Learning to Trust God: A 60-min Breakthrough Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A guided\, practical hour to help you find your own path toward trusting God more deeply\, right in the middle of your real life. Each workshop is a brief\, condensed version of our intensive: take an hour to unclench your fists\, rest and receive from God. This is what you need when you most need it. \nIn this live\, 60-minute workshop\, we will explore: \nThe Root of Our Restlessness: We’ll look with curiosity (not judgment!) at the hidden fears and desires that sabotage our ability to trust God. \nA Prayer You Can Actually Use: You’ll learn a simple\, powerful prayer practice to release your grip on control and find your footing in God’s presence\, even on the most chaotic days. \nHow to Rest Your Body and Soul: Discover how to work with your body\, not against it\, using simple techniques to calm your nervous system and find physical rest when your mind is racing. \nLive\, Compassionate Q&A: This is a space to bring your real challenges. The group is kept small so we can have a meaningful conversation and you can feel seen and heard. \nFlexible Access: Can’t make the live session? All registrants will receive a link to the workshop recording\, available to watch for a limited time after the live event. \nThis workshop is for you if: \nYou feel spiritually and emotionally exhausted from trying to hold it all together. \nYou know in your head that you should trust God\, but you don’t know how. \nYou’re tired of the anxiety that comes from constantly planning for the worst-case scenario. \n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Fall Spiritual Direction group For Pastors
DESCRIPTION: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 and pastor Holly Porter Phillips will be offering a spiritual direction group this fall. 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 centering\, 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\nWednesdays 9/3\, 9/17\, 10/1\, 10/15\, 10/29\, 11/12\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) \nClick Here to Register

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:Learning to Trust God: A 60-min Breakthrough Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A guided\, practical hour to help you find your own path toward trusting God more deeply\, right in the middle of your real life. Each workshop is a brief\, condensed version of our intensive: take an hour to unclench your fists\, rest and receive from God. This is what you need when you most need it. \nIn this live\, 60-minute workshop\, we will explore: \nThe Root of Our Restlessness: We’ll look with curiosity (not judgment!) at the hidden fears and desires that sabotage our ability to trust God. \nA Prayer You Can Actually Use: You’ll learn a simple\, powerful prayer practice to release your grip on control and find your footing in God’s presence\, even on the most chaotic days. \nHow to Rest Your Body and Soul: Discover how to work with your body\, not against it\, using simple techniques to calm your nervous system and find physical rest when your mind is racing. \nLive\, Compassionate Q&A: This is a space to bring your real challenges. The group is kept small so we can have a meaningful conversation and you can feel seen and heard. \nFlexible Access: Can’t make the live session? All registrants will receive a link to the workshop recording\, available to watch for a limited time after the live event. \nThis workshop is for you if: \nYou feel spiritually and emotionally exhausted from trying to hold it all together. \nYou know in your head that you should trust God\, but you don’t know how. \nYou’re tired of the anxiety that comes from constantly planning for the worst-case scenario. \n  \nRegister Here

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)
