In addition to individual and group spiritual direction, Anam Cara Ministries leads retreats on a variety of topics related to spiritual formation, such as prayer, contemplation, and discernment. We also craft retreats focused on more specific topics and practices, including
We especially enjoy crafting and leading silent retreats and retreats “in daily life” that introduce and incorporate spiritual practices into the daily lives of retreat attendees. For example, we guided a group of believers in the media in New York City and Washington, DC, in contemplations of vocation and the story of God through the lens of Exodus.
Tara brings a wealth of teaching experience to this process. She has taught classes on the Enneagram, spiritual formation, spiritual disciplines, types of prayer, and understanding your prayer personality. At present, she teaches on critical issues in soul care for the Potter’s Inn Soul Care Institute. Recent topics include
Tara also develops guided contemplative experiences, such as Advent Labyrinth Walks and Discernment Days.
