The Art of Soul Whispering and Living with Everyday Guidance
Would you like to understand the deeper significance of your life and all that you go through in this incarnation?
Can the daily events of life reveal what your Soul is studying and working on?
The art of soul whispering teaches us how to follow our soul's unique journey encountering with courage and faith, all that life holds.
We learn to let the beauty and power of Life and the peace of nature inspire and hold us in fullness and gratitude.
Pat is a certified spiritual director and retreat leader who marvels at the profound love our God has for each of Her/His creations. He is a graduate of the Ignatian Spirituality Institute at John Carroll University and is completing his MA in Pastoral Ministry at Boston College in 2008. He is directing retreats focused on discernment this summer:
Changing jobs? Moving? Graduating? Turning 30, 40, 50 or 60? Retiring? Feeling called to action, but not sure where to go? We all face many times of transition in life. They are often bewildering.
This might be the time that you will benefit from a discernment retreat. You may not come away from the retreat with a clear answer to your dilemma, but you will leave it confident in the love and guidance of the Holy Spirit and with a clearer sense of the next steps you need to take.
Discernment is a gift of wisdom that has been passed down by the holy women and men who came before us. Practicing discernment helps us open our hearts to watch and listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
A Directed Retreat provides an ideal setting for discernment. It gives us the time to find the quiet places of our heart. Pat will serve as a director on individually directed retreats at four retreat houses around the country this summer.
Open to spiritual and secular organizations,
