Journey to New Life

A Lenten Retreat

We have all experienced a lot over the past two years of this pandemic. Reflect on how your experience can be an invitation to a deeper relationship with God and wider call to move forward with compassion and hope. Give yourself three hours to reflect, pray, and share ways to experience a meaningful Lenten season.

A Three-Hour Retreat on Zoom

A three-hour retreat on Zoom is a convenient and comfortable way to experience spiritual renewal.

Tired of Zoom? You will not be staring at your computer screen for three hours. Here is what you can expect:

Prayer with silence, music, word, and movement.
Personal reflection time with an interactive exercise
The sharing of ideas for a meaningful Lent (sharing is always optional and guided by a set of agreements ensuring confidentiality and non-judgement)

Share with Your Faith-Sharing Group

Invite a group of friends over to your home or share the retreat with your faith-sharing group.

You will receive handouts with suggestions and resources on how to share the retreat with others.
During the small-group breakout times on Zoom, we will invite you to share with your in-person group and tell you what time to re-join the retreat online.
These retreats are always recorded and sent out to registrants within 24 hours so you can share with your friends at a time that works for your group. This Lent retreat was held on March 5th and is available for purchase and download.

These are very trying times and it is so easy to be discouraged. Participating in your Advent retreat sustained my physical and spiritual well being enabling me to live my life as a reflection of Christ.

Thanks so much for the Advent Retreat. It was truly a Sacred Space. So lively, so deep and captivating. For me, It was a deep spiritual experience.

My sincere thanks to Christine, Darlene and Shannon for a wonderful retreat. It centered on one theme with a common thread with variety in prayer, music, and reflection and sharing. So glad I made the time for it and appreciate the opportunity.

Hello. I have been in retreat ministry for the past fifteen years. Before working in the area of spiritual growth, I was a TV reporter and anchor for ten years. I really appreciate and enjoy my time sharing with others on Zoom and spiritually connecting with people through this new medium. It is possible to have a relaxing retreat with meaningful conversation and special prayer time via video conference. I would love for you to join me and I look forward to sharing this journey with you.

Hi, I love companioning people on their sacred paths. I hold a certificate in spiritual direction from Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation, and I have led faith-sharing groups and parish retreats for the past ten years. Music has always been an important part of my spiritual life as well, and I played guitar in my church choir for many years. I feel at home in the contemplative tradition, which allows me to hold space for listening deeply to the Holy stirrings in another person’s life.
