Listen to Your Life:
A Sacred Voice Is Calling

What do you tell yourself about your life?

You’re not alone if the inner messages which pop up in vulnerable moments are more critical than kind. The human calling is to go beneath the noisy messages of culture to the “still, quiet voice” resident in each of us. This voice is the Source of your irreducible value and life’s purpose. It is the place from which your authentic voice and contribution in the world emanate. And, it takes conscious attention and discerning companionship to separate this voice from the layers of louder, competing voices inside and out.  

We all have a “life story” that we tell ourselves and others. And yet, there is so much more to our story than we can access alone. Stepping into that exploration in the company of others in the same process is eye-opening and can lead us to our own deepest gifts and purpose.

Listen to Your Life will be a foundational experience, discovering new dimensions about who you are and how you can respond to the call of God.

Who would benefit from this program?

  • Those who are at a life passage and know the intentional spiritual journey is part of what's being invited.

  • Those who sense it's "time for something more." An interior “restlessness” or “itchiness” can speak to a life that feels too small or needs fresh focus.

  • Those experiencing a transition in faith. Often experienced as a “loss of faith” it's most often an invitation to a wider, deeper faith. We call it "losing faith to find God."

  • Those considering spiritual direction as a way of tending other's souls. It is the prerequisite for the Bread of Life Internship in the Art of Spiritual Direction. It is also accepted as equivalent to “Sacred Journey” by Mercy Center (Burlingame) which precedes their 2-year program in the Art & Practice of Spiritual Direction.

Interested? The next Listen to Your Life series begins in February 2025. It is a 5-month program consisting of two in-person retreats, four half-day sessions over Zoom, and four small-group mentor meetings. The cost is $1550. (Limited scholarship funds are available; please inquire with the office.)
