God’s creation is ongoing, yet we often experience difficulty knowing how God is at work in the midst of the sorrow, suffering, and losses in our lives.  In this professional development retreat, Dr. Diane Millis will introduce us to an array of approaches for mining the meaning in our stories.  Together, we will listen deeply to the stories we tell about our lives so that we may increases our awareness of God’s action in them.  Through time in prayer and reflection, personal writing, and group spiritual companioning, we will learn how to tell more life-giving stories and explore how we might do the same with those we companion.
