Online Group Spiritual Direction is open to both Men & Women and the In-Person Group is for Women only.
I still have a couple of openings for each group! If your schedule aligns with 3 out of the 4 group sessions, I want you to be a part of listening & discerning with others! Plus you'll learn how to befriend silence and get a taste of dreamwork.
$160 for all 4 sessions.
If you're clergy or church staff, you might check to see if your church will cover it under Continuing Ed. Or talk to me about scholarship money if needed.

Living the Legacy of Saint Francis:
A 10-Week Class
As our world becomes increasingly polarized, how might wisdom from the early 13th century speak to the 21st century?
Join Kasey along with Kim & Mary Francis Working and Jeff Miller as we consider how Saint Francis' views challenge today's popular beliefs about the Cross, the Earth, our relationship with God and each other.
Through contemplative prayer, watching Franciscan priest, Richard Rohr's "Embracing an Alternative Orthodoxy" DVD, and soul-shaping conversation, we'll learn how we can become instruments of peace.
September 18th & 25th: Atonement Theology
October 2nd & 9th: Eco-Spirituality
October 16th & 23rd: The Cosmic Christ
October 30th & Nov. 6th: Orthodoxy vs. Orthopraxy
November 13th & 20th: Mysticism over Moralism
CARE Night @ , Tuesdays
September 18th-November 20th
Dinner 5:15 pm
Worship: 6:30 pm
Class: 6:45-8:00 pm
Come for all or just for class!

Weekly Centering Prayer Group
Thursdays, 9am-10am (even through the summer!)
Providence Church, Mt. Juliet, TN
20 minutes of silence followed by
meditative Scripture-reading (Lectio Divina)
& every 3rd Thursday, Visio Divina (meditating with art)
To begin a personal Centering Prayer practice,
Contemplative Outreach's app is available in Google Play and iTunes.
"Centering Prayer is a prayer practice that provides a time and space to come into the presence of God and just 'be.'
Although the power and presence of God is all around, it has helped me connect and understand the idea of having a
personal relationship with Jesus. It's a time to be present to God in silence and "abide with Him" as it says in John 15:4.
Centering Prayer is a way to rest in God. It calms my mind and soothes my soul and the best thing is - you can't do it wrong.
You just show up and God does the rest." - Marla

Documentary & Discussion Nights
Providence United Methodist Church, 6:45pm Training Room January: In Pursuit of Silence April 7th: Be Still August 11th: Emotional Sobriety An evening with Richard Rohr, "When 'happiness' eludes us—as eventually it always will—we have before us the invitation to examine our programmed responses, and to exercise our power to choose again. We exaggerate, confuse, and distort reality, thus causing an emotional imbalance in our families, our church, and our politics. We can learn to heal our reactive responses by seeking 'emotional sobriety,' which is really the task that we call contemplation. Authentic spirituality should lead to a total "rewiring" of both our conscious lives and our unconscious, or programmed, responses. It will not just change external behaviour, but internal emotions and responses, what some call "the healing of memories." After watching, we'll have a time of discussion (which includes doubts & disagreements!). Listen to what drew others' attention and tell how the film intersected with your own life. Hot tea station & snacks available. |
