Wellstreams|Awakening


A Year of Spiritual Formation

In two semesters, we will provide a foundation in contemplative practices, discernment, deepening self-awareness and theological reflection.

We will weave together themes to explore:

  • Our spiritual roots through history and across traditions

  • A survey of prayer and worship practices

  • Human development; and spiritual transformation

Wellstreams|Awakening ends with a discernment retreat to determine desire and readiness for Wellstreams|Immersion.
