Testimonials
from Prior Participants:

“This program has refined some of my rough edges and pointed out some growing edges.

I have learned so much! And will be processing all of it for some time.”

“This training has helped me to listen, to listen to the other person without thinking of what I’m going to say.

And to trust—trust in the Spirit without thinking I need to have the answers—to relax in that knowledge.”

“You have provided an excellent foundation.”

“I really liked the meditation time. . . .Wrapping everything in prayer is really neat. I felt like I was on retreat.”

“I really liked the materials, and your creativity and intentionality. . . . Also we all benefited

from the depth and breadth of your experience.”

“[The materials are] well written, on task and helpful.”

“I feel very equipped—this is to say, I believe I have access to the tools needed and I believe

that the Holy Spirit will continue to guide me and the Diocese.”

"I have been given the structure and substance to proceed and the assurance of help if needed.”

“I feel this program has given me perspectives, tools, and understanding that will be invaluable to me

as a Diocesan Spiritual Discernment Facilitator. Thank you!”

“I feel the whole weekend was covered in prayer.”

“I’m . . .energized in heart and mind.”

“Thank you for your modeling of prayerfulness and graciousness.”

“We were on Holy ground.”
