Journeying with Jesus (Group Spiritual Direction)
Together, we will dive into the life of Jesus, explore his spiritual journey with God and the community that was present to him and his calling. This 8-month sacred journey invites participants into a small, intimate cohort of group spiritual direction. We will explore the spiritual life of Jesus, his rhythms, his relationship with God and with community, and his faithfulness to calling. Inspired by Ignatian spirituality 19th Annotation, we will be practicing imaginative prayer, a contemplative discipline that draws us into Scripture, inviting to not just observe, but to enter into the story of Christ.
Though it is virtual, our monthly gatherings will be small intimate cohort style of group spiritual direction. We will grow to be spiritual companions for each other as we practice presence and attentiveness to God and to one another. This format of intentional group listening deepens awareness of God in our lives, with each other and informs our calling and purpose. It is a beautiful and sacred rhythm we walk collectively.
To support continuity of the 8-month journey, a mid-month reflection will be emailed to the group as gentle touchpoints for personal prayer and connection to the shared journey.
This series has become a transformative rhythm for strangers to becoming deep friends, who have journeyed together, offering space to be deeply seen, spiritually nourished, and grounded in God’s presence alongside one another on the journey.
Who is this for? This is for anyone who desire a regular rhythm and deeper relationship with God and community through practicing contemplation, in particular, imaginative prayer and in small cohort format of group spiritual direction space. No experience is needed to join, just an openness to the Spirit and commitment to be present to your group. Those seeking thoughtful reflection, spiritual formation, and Christ-centered community are warmly invited to join.
