The Secret Lives of Color
A Six-Month Group Spiritual Direction Journey
Colors carry stories. They can stir memories, evoke emotions, and open us to deeper truths about ourselves and God’s movement in our lives.
Join us for a six-month group spiritual direction series inspired by The Secret Lives of Color by Kassia St. Clair. Each month we’ll begin with a passage about a specific color as a doorway into reflection and self-discovery.
Together, we will:
- Notice where we are feeling stuck, triggered, or invited into newness
- Hold space for individual sharing and group reflection
- Enter contemplative silence together
This is not a book discussion group — it is a sacred space for deep listening, honest sharing, and contemplative reflection. Open to all spiritualities and paths of faith.
🗓 When: 2nd Thursdays, Jan 8 – June 11
🕒 Time: 3–5 PM Central (via Zoom)
👥 Group size: Limited to 6–8 people
💲 Cost: $200 for the entire series (commitment to all sessions builds trust and community)
Whether you are seeking spiritual growth, a deeper connection to the Sacred, or a supportive community of fellow travelers, you are welcome here.

Grief Circle for Ministry Leaders
Grief touches all of us. Sometimes it comes in waves, sometimes it lingers quietly, and sometimes it takes us by surprise. As ministry leaders, we often carry the weight of others’ grief while setting aside our own. This circle is an invitation to tend to your spirit, to acknowledge what you’ve lost, and to discover where God may be offering comfort and renewal.
This Grief Circle is a space to gather with others who understand the weight of ministry and the reality of loss. Together we will practice deep listening, share stories, and make space for silence. There is no “right way” to grieve. In this circle, you are welcome as you are.
We will meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays beginning in January for six sessions. Each gathering will be guided by gentle practices of prayer, reflection, and conversation, with room for the Spirit to move among us. We will be using materials from the Franciscan Spirituality Center.
Participation is limited to keep the circle small and safe.
🗓 When: 2nd and 4th Thursdays beginning January 8 – March 26, 2026
🕒 Time: 10:30 AM – 12 Noon Central (via Zoom)
👥 Group size: Limited to 6 people
💲 Cost: $180 for the entire series (commitment to all sessions builds trust and community)

Finding Rest in a Restless World
A Group Spiritual Direction Experience
Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you’re never enough in the busyness of life? Sabbath, rest, and silence can feel elusive—but they are vital for renewal and reconnecting with what truly matters.
Join a small, confidential group (6–8 participants) for spiritual direction focused on rest, renewal, and Sabbath. Using insights from “Sabbath” by Wayne Mueller, “Sacred Rest” by Saundra Dalton-Smith, and “Sacred Rhythms” by Ruth Haley Barton, we will reflect on the rhythms of our lives and explore practices that reconnect us with ourselves and the sacred.
Through guided reflection, gentle prompts, and shared conversation, this group will offer space to slow down, breathe, and rediscover what it means to rest deeply—body, mind, and spirit.
Details:
- Small group (6–8 participants) for confidentiality and meaningful sharing
- Prompts and discussion drawn from three powerful books on rest and sacred rhythms
- Opportunity to reconnect with yourself and the sacred
Rediscover rest. Renew your spirit. Find your Sabbath.
🗓 When: 2nd Tuesdays, February 10 – June 2 (note this is the 1st Tuesday)
🕒 Time: 3–5 PM Central (via Zoom)
👥 Group size: Limited to 6–8 people
💲 Cost: $175 for the entire series (commitment to all sessions builds trust and community)
