The Soul Care Institute is coming. . .

I am getting things ready to travel tomorrow to Atlanta for the Spiritual Directors International Conference where Betsey Beckman and I are leading the Friday night plenary session on Cultivating the Elements of a Compassionate Heart.  We will be engaging the community in visual art, poetry, movement, and song to savor the four sacred elements of water, wind, earth, and fire

I’ve had several wonderful notes from folks who were offering their prayers while I was away last week on an Abbey dreaming and planning retreat by the sea.  It was a beautiful and inspiring time with lots more details about what emerged to come.  In the meantime, here is just a teaser for you. . .

  1. Hello Christine,

    The new Soul Care Institute looks fabulously inviting!
    I did your Call Programme on Introduction to Benedictine Spirituality some time back, (which I just loved) followed by Way of Monk, Path of Artist. I’m eagerly awaiting more information on 18th, so that I can see if I might qualify as a “soul care practioner”, and perhaps be able to join the group/workshop.

    With warmest wishes,
    Jenny (from NZ – where we are in you favourite season right now!)
