Inviting others into life-giving contemplative practices

Virtual Training Workshops
Examen Facilitator Training
The prayer of 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. If you have had this experience and would like to offer this space to others, join us for the Examen Training Workshop. We’ll go over the logistics of both online and in person offerings.
Prerequisite: Participants will have attended one of the guided prayers of Examen offered by Companions For Your Journey- End of the Month Examen, Seasonal Examen or Year End Examen

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.

You'll 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.
