Topic: Disorientation as Sacred Process
Join us for a gently guided, contemplative experience exploring the profound spiritual wisdom found in seasons of unknowing. This session invites spiritual directors and companions to deepen their capacity to hold disorientation—not as something to fix, but as a holy threshold into transformation.
What to Expect
9:00–9:05 — Welcome & Opening
We begin by grounding ourselves in presence, setting the tone for a spacious and reflective hour together.
9:05–9:30 — Exploring Disorientation as a Sacred Process
We’ll reflect on the rich spiritual invitations that arise when life feels unmoored:
• The Gift of Darkness
• Surrender as Expansion
• Grace as Surprise
• Disorientation as a Doorway into Transformation
9:30 — Entering Stillness & Listening
Through a simple mandala practice and gentle journaling prompts, we’ll attune to the quiet movements of Spirit within our own inner landscapes.
9:45 — Small Groups
A time for intimate sharing and deep listening in community.
10:00 — Large Group Reflection
We close by gathering our collective wisdom and honoring the sacred insights that have emerged.
