God’s Recreation of the New Day: Morning Retreat on Zoom for Spiritual Directors

“I am in constant conversation with God, who is with me all the time. I just don’t have time in my schedule to make a retreat!”

The essence of God is love. We invite all spiritual directors to a morning of recreation and renewal. Through communal and personal prayer, we will create space and time to let God surround us with love. As part of the day, participants will be given the option to join in small groups to share how God lives and moves in our work and in our personal lives. The morning will include a guided meditation, centering prayer, and an opportunity for questions and discussion. Facilitated by Donna Bilek.

This is a virtual program, open to all spiritual directors. When registering for this virtual program, please provide the email address to which we should send the Zoom Meeting link. If you don’t receive the Zoom Meeting information by the day before the session, please contact the Welcome Center at 410-442-3120.
