Training Workshops

Examen Facilitator Training

The prayer of Examen has been a practice Christians have engaged in for centuries as a way of becoming more aware of the nearness of God and His constant involvement in the details of our lives. The Examen has a special way of inviting us into a deeper experience of God’s love for us and God’s desire that we know ourselves as dearly beloved children. If you have had this experience and  feel a pull to open this door for others in your circle, join us for the Examen Training Workshop. We’ll go over the logistics of making this pathway available to fellow pilgrims both online and in person. 

 

Prerequisite: Participants will have attended one of the guided prayers of Examen offered by Companions For Your Journey- End of the Month Examen or Year End Examen

 

Date: Saturday, June 8, 2024 from  9:00 am-11:30 am (Pacific Time) 

Location: Zoom

Cost: $40 or Pay What You Can

Creative Prayer Small Group Training

Short term contemplative groups have proven to be a gentle way of inviting people to explore different spiritual practices one week at a time. In this training workshop you’ll learn how to host and hold a 5 week contemplative group which engages creative prayer practices.  We’ll go over goals, logistics and challenges of both online and in person groups. You will be equipped with a 5 week curriculum to use in your own circles or shape with your own voice to meet the particular needs of your community.
