SDA of Ohio Meeting: Exploring a New Model – A Contemplative Connection

Our Spiritual Directors Association wants to try a new format.   In 2022 we would like to  offer quarterly meetings – two in the evening for “Contemplative Conversations” - virtual, and two longer Saturday morning gatherings for connection, consultation and prayerful support.*

Modeled after the ” Gathering of Spiritual Directors and Friends” in Tampa Bay, Florida,  we hope to find a format that will enable us to meet consistently and share leadership.

These SDA gatherings are offered free of charge every quarter on the following days:

  • 4th Monday evenings in January and July - from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm on Zoom

  • 4th Saturday mornings in April and October - from 9:30 am - 12:00 pm - central Ohio locations TBD


Our Format:
Opening with Introductions
Silence and Prayer Experience
Peer group demonstration of companioning
with somatic listening
Discussion/Reflection
Closing

Save the date: In person gathering Saturday morning, October 22; 9:30 - noon.


Our topic this month is: REVISITING OUR PEER GROUP MODEL AND EXPLORING NEW MODALITIES FOR PEER GROUPS.

We will explore somatic practices inspired by the Trauma and Resiliency Series last led by Lisa last fall.

This will be led by Margot Connor, Cathy Davis and Saralise Ward.

There is no cost to register.
