A Spiritual Direction Group for Pastors, Priests, and Guides
To remind us that we aren’t alone
Recent data from the Barna Group says that 65% of pastors admit that they sometimes or frequently experience loneliness (a 20%+ increase from 2015). I’m sure this is no surprise to any of us, as leadership often feels tiring, isolating, and lonely.
Retreats can be a great place to develop new relationships, but they need intentional time and space to grow. We often leave having heard from God, ourselves, and others, but need to quickly jump back into our daily lives, leaving little time to process or build relationships further.
In an attempt to make space for Pastors, Priests & Guides retreatants, Spiritual Director & Pastor Holly Phillips will be offering spiritual direction groups following the Chicago 2025 retreat. These Spiritual Direction groups will meet 5 times and focus on building and deepening relationships.
A group of up to attendees will meet together (via Zoom) to bear witness to the workings of God in their own lives and those in the group. Each hour-and-a-half session will include a guided time of centering, time for sharing, silence, and prayer. If you’d like to join, please register at the links below!
