The distinctiveness of School of the Spirit is seen in at least three ways:
the strength of diversity that comes from openness to seekers from all Christian denominations who are searching for a heart-opening transformation into the mind of Christ;
a focus on Jesus' spiritual practices and the centuries-old practices that spiritual seekers down through the ages used to open themselves to God’s transforming work — and not to the latest fad or way to fix oneself; and
a vital and committed community to hold each participant’s journey. Through the process of placing ourselves vulnerably before God and each other to be schooled by the Holy Spirit, God’s love and grace renews our minds and revives our spirits — and our ministries are enlivened, too. At the same time, our yoke becomes easy as we abide ever more deeply in the interior freedom, care, and love of God.
Limited to 24 clergy, leaders, healing ministry providers, and thirsty pilgrims. Hear what others say.
Journey with other clergy, leaders, and thirsty pilgrims who long to reclaim the practices and experiences that spiritual seekers down through the ages have used to open themselves to God’s transforming work. Review dates and discount opportunities and apply.
