Walk a Mile in My Moccasins -- with Linda Cornier

Topic Listening is the beginning of serving others. A mile begins with a step. Stepping into someone’s journey requires other-focused listening. There is strength in silence. Westerners are awed when someone is articulate; listening is equally important. Experience Native American listening techniques: Spiritual directing/Traditional healing is like open heart/mind surgery. This might entail finding solutions, giving food, a plant, root, or herb from mother earth; dancing, singing, praying, fasting or becoming a mirror for others. Telling stories can help others make decisions for themselves. We conclude with praying the four directions.

Presenter I am Linda Cornier, a Pojoaque Pueblo and Hunka sister of the Lakota Nation. My name is Cante I Wan Kab Wi (Above Heart Woman). I have a BS in Psychology and Behavioral Science, an MA in Religious Education, and an MPA (Masters in Public Administration) from University of Colorado. I am completing a Doctorate in Ministry from Unification Theological Seminary. I have worked at Denver Indian Center, Denver Indian Health and Family Services, National Native American HIV/AIDS Prevention Center and am currently working at Native American Cancer Research. I am a mother and grandmother.

How Do I love Thee and Me? Self-Image and Relationship with God -- with Dr. Margaret Arms

Topic How often do we hear our directees wonder how God can possibly love them because they experience themselves as so unlovable or unworthy? Explore how the ways we experience ourselves affect the way we relate to God, and how we understand who God is. Using a power point presentation, we will explore how questions of self-esteem, self-image, and “being made in the image of God” show up in spiritual direction practice. The workshop will also include experiential and interactive work in small and large group conversation.

Presenter Dr. Margaret Arms is a spiritual director in Colorado Springs and teaches at the Benedictine Spiritual Formation Program where she also supervises a group of second year students. She teaches a class on Self-Image and Relationship to God from which this workshop evolved. She sits on the Spiritual Direction Colorado Committee where she coordinates the regional gatherings of spiritual directors.

Spiritual Direction with the Spiritual not Religious -- with Rev. Kent Groff

Topic How can we make connections and walk alongside those who don’t feel at home with religious language or institutions? How can we become guides for one another on a journey without maps? Discover how barriers to believing can become bridges to a deeper level of spirituality. The leader’s interactive presentation will make use of art, poetry, music, film clips, and your own experiences. Explore skills for informal and formal companioning, as the leader draws on his article in Presence 2005, “Companioning Spiritual Orphans.”

Presenter Dr. Kent Ira Groff meets with many who identify as spiritual but not religious. A spiritual director, writer, poet, and retreat leader, he is founding mentor of Oasis Ministries and former adjunct professor at Lancaster Theological Seminary (PA).

Spiritual Direction with Young People -- with Rev. Amy Smith

Topic ruok? Tou tcoy <3 tmb (texting language = “Are you ok? I’m thinking of you, take care of yourself, I offer you friendship, text me back”).

Is this Spiritual Direction? If you work with young people, maybe? yes? no? What does the art of Spiritual Direction look like when youth culture lives via texting, Facebook, iPod, or Skyping? For any spiritual companions seeking to walk with teens, 20s or 30s, we need to be creative, intentional, and contemplative in making space for the Spirit as young people go through their spiritual, emotional, and personal lives.

Presenter Amy Smith, Youth Pastor at Cameron Church UMC, is a certified spiritual director, minister, retreat, and workshop leader who brings a broad range of expertise to her work with groups in the areas of personal and community spiritual formation, development, and renewal. As a youth minister and spiritual director, Amy is passionate about helping individuals make significant connections between their spiritual life, relationships, and daily life.

Forgiveness: A Core Challenge on the Spiritual Journey with Lynn Huber

Topic Forgiveness is crucial to our growing into spiritual wholeness, yet many misconceptions about it can keep us carrying unforgiveness for years. We unpacked issues of forgiveness vs. reconciliation, and forgiveness as a matter of the will. There was experiential work, as well as lecture and dialog. This workshop is designed to allow us to explore implications for our own journeys and to look at ways to engage those whom we companion in their own forgiveness processes.

Presenter Lynn W. Huber, Ph.D., MSW is a spiritual director, educator, author, peace activist and retreat leader. Lynn believes forgiveness is a central issue both on our interior journey, and for our capacity to work in the world for peace and justice.

2011 Spiritual Conference with John Phillip Newell

David Dunn — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 20:53:56 GMT

A New Harmony—the Spirit, the Earth, and the Human Soul

John Philip Newell, a poet, scholar, and teacher, is internationally acclaimed for his work in the field of Celtic spirituality, with best-known titles Listening for the Heartbeat of God and Christ of the Celts. Formerly Warden of Iona Abbey in the Western Isles of Scotland, he is currently Companion Theologian for the American Spirituality Centre of Casa del Sol in the high desert of New Mexico. Brad Berglund, well-known contemplative and Celtic musician, is the conference musician and liturgist.

Like never before in the history of humanity we are aware of the essential unity of life and that what we do to a part we do to the whole. Wellness is found not in separation but in relationship, whether as nations and wisdom traditions, as individuals, or as a whole earth community. How can our spirituality today, including our spiritual practices, be part of serving this new consciousness?

The 2011 Spirituality Conference was a weekend of inspiration, silence, discussion, and discovery. John Phillip's talks were entitled "The Ancient Harmony," "The Broken Harmony," and "The New Harmony." Click on broadlandsmedia.com to order CDs of all three talks.

An Integrated Tool for Spiritual Direction

David Dunn — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 15:38:12 GMT

The CrossRoads Journey — with Rev. Todd Smiedendorf

Topic. The CrossRoads Journey is an embodied experiential tool of listening and movement that engages and integrates the whole self, all four energies of the Great Commandment (heart, mind, soul, and strength). The process begins with any issue of the participant and spirals them into their story to find a transforming insight, experience, and/or plan of action. Participants will get an opportunity to witness or participate in a Journey process.

Presenter: Rev. Todd Smiedendorf, MS, MDiv, ordained in the UCC, has served in campus ministry and parish ministry. He is a certified 4Gateways Life Coach, is trained in Shadow Work™ and is a retreat guide with The Men’s Leadership Alliance, a Boulder Based non-profit supporting men in finding a more soulful path for a joyful, just, and sustainable world.

Spiritual Direction and the Aging Process — with Macrina Scott

David Dunn — Sun, 30 May 2010 23:19:34 GMT

Topic People who come for spiritual guidance have received from our culture a gloomy picture of aging. The spiritual director has the opportunity to model and communicate a different vision. Aging is a call to adventure, a time for new kinds of spiritual growth and roles as elder in family, church and society. We will reflect on the vision of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and share our own experiences of companioning persons through the journey into elderhood.

Presenter Macrina Scott, OSF, is a Franciscan sister, former director of a program of adult biblical education for the archdiocese of Denver, author and retreat director. She has been trained by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi's Spiritual Eldering Institute to facilitate programs on spiritual growth in the later years. She directs Wisdom Center, which offers a year-long program as well as shorter events for individuals of all faith traditions who choose to age consciously.

Living Simply, Gratefully, Poetically — with Kent Ira Groff
“How can you accompany people yearning to be genuine in a cluttered, fear-based culture?”

Dr. Kent Ira Groff began this workshop by exploring how spiritual guides can create meaningful connections with spiritual seekers who may not know of the ancient practice of spiritual direction.
“What's the difference between promoting vs. presenting yourself?” Ignatian spirituality weaves simplicity and gratitude, intellect and imagination, scripture and discernment.

Kent Groff is a spiritual director, retreat leader, and poet writer. His new book Facing East, Praying West: Poetic Reflections on the Spiritual Exercises (Paulist Press) offers poetry for retreats and spiritual companioning.

The search for an authentic spirituality

David Dunn — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 18:20:41 GMT

Discovering and Following Your Sacred Path — with Lauren Artress
The 2010 Colorado Spirituality Conference

Our theme We live in a time when the traditional religious containers are losing their attraction. Belief is being replaced by a hunger for direct experience, inner wisdom is valued over external authority and an awareness of a global spirituality is opening up closed belief systems. Amidst this paradigm shift the hope of finding our way to spiritual nourishment, let alone guiding others, can be a challenge. The metaphor of the Path is emerging rapidly in our consciousness. It is a universal symbol that may have the power to knit together the seeking mind and the longing heart.

Our conference speaker The Reverend Dr. Lauren Artress, pioneer of the contemporary worldwide labyrinth movement, is Canon of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. She is the author of Walking a Sacred Path: Rediscovering the Labyrinth as a Spiritual Practice, The Sand Labyrinth Kit and The Sacred Path Companion: A Guide to Walking the Labyrinth to Heal and Transform (Putnam/Riverhead Books, New York). Dr. Artress is Founder of Veriditas, a nonprofit organization that introduces people to the healing and meditative powers of the labyrinth. She travels worldwide offering workshops and lectures, including a yearly program in Chartres, France. Dr. Artress—Episcopal priest, spiritual director, and licensed marriage and family therapist (California)—is on the Editorial Board of Presence, the quarterly journal of Spiritual Directors International.

Continuing Education for Spiritual Directors with The Rev. Michelle Danson — St. John's Cathedral, Denver

Topic Are you meeting people who are confused and unsettled by the rapid changes we are encountering in the 21st Century? Do you find that you are encountering people who are struggling with the role of the church in their life? Do you find yourself increasingly directing people who describe themselves as “Spiritual and not Religious”? If the answer to any of these questions is “yes,” then this workshop is for you! Michelle integrates her study of quantum physics with years of spiritual formation to lead us through a paradigm shift that will show us how the Ancient Art of Spiritual Direction is an essential and integral piece of the Emerging Church.

Click here to watch a brief video with author Phyllis Tickle about "The Great Transition" to which Michelle refers.

Presenter Michelle received an honours degree in Physics at the University of Durham, England, followed by a Post Graduate Certificate in Education. She has taught in schools in England and Scotland.

Spiritual Issues in Trauma

David Dunn — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:35:10 GMT

Walking with Wounded Souls — with Dr. Margaret Arms
A Professional Development Workshop for Spiritual Directors, Saturday, November 7, 2009, 9 a.m.–4 p.m.

Topic What is the spiritual impact on survivors of different trauma experiences? Are they the same? How do you companion a traumatized directee from spiritual despair to hope? These are some of the questions we spiritual directors ask as we work with trauma survivors. This workshop will provide a conceptual framework of the core issues and healing process that grounds spiritual work with trauma survivors and will offer several approaches for listening and for spiritual healing. You will learn how to heal negative images of God; how to work with the difficult questions of spiritual despair, abandonment, and forgiveness; and how to work to instill hope and meaning in a directee’s life. You will also learn to recognize and avoid some pitfalls in working with trauma survivors, especially if you yourself are a survivor. We will emphasize the importance of self-care in this work throughout this workshop.

Workshop Leader DR. MARGARET ARMS is the Parish Spiritual Director at St. Raphael Episcopal Church in Security, Colorado. She is a retreat and workshop leader, and consultant who has presented training workshops on spirituality and trauma in the Rocky Mountain region and in Canada. She is also a licensed clinical social worker and for many years had a private psychotherapy practice working primarily with trauma survivors. She was the executive director of The Shalom Center, which worked with trauma survivors as they walked back to find spiritual meaning and purpose in their lives. She has been an adjunct faculty member teaching in the trauma track at the Colorado School of Professional Psychology at the University of the Rockies.

Intended audience Practicing spiritual directors, clergy, pastoral counselors, or psychotherapists who wish to be sensitive to spiritual issues of trauma will find this workshop helpful.

Design of the workshop This workshop was designed for practicing spiritual directors, clergy, and pastoral counselors. We maximize interactive and group learning. Participants were encouraged to bring their own experiences and questions working with trauma survivors. Although this was designed as a workshop and not a retreat, there was time for individual silent reflection.

Allowing Grief In — with The Rev. Sandra Boyd

Topic A wonderful book on caregiving by Beth McLeod quotes a hospice director named Eileen who found herself suddenly faced with the terminal illness of her husband of many years. Eileen says “if you allow grief in, there’s nothing like it ... it deepens you like nothing else.” That challenge of “allowing grief in” will be the topic of Sandra Boyd’s presentation. Please join Sandra in exploring how we can all “allow grief in” more willingly and fruitfully.

Presenter REV. SANDRA BOYD is an Episcopal priest, retired from parish ministry, who continues to offer a course on Death and Dying for Regis University that she’s been teaching for nearly ten years. “It’s the most popular course in our program,” she reports, “because the students emerge from it enormously empowered for having ‘let death in’ for five weeks.”

David Dunn — Tue, 19 May 2009 14:06:55 GMT

The Business Piece of Spiritual Direction — with Barb Chambless

Topic If spiritual direction is about finding God in our ordinary life, then God must also be in our financial, tax and business activities. Barb will cover promotion (“how to get directees”) as a follow on to Pegge Bernacker’s workshop in May 2008. Then she’ll turn to the question of whether or not to charge, and, if so, how much. She’d like you to bring your questions on business expenses, accounting, income and payroll taxes, business entity, insurance, engagement letters, supervision and anything else you’d like a business expert to answer. There will be time for reflection, small and large group discussions. You are invited to bring promotional items and ideas for display.

Presenter BARB CHAMBLESS is both a spiritual director and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). She blends these two diverse gifts to bring a practicality to her spiritual presence and a spirituality to her tax and mediation business. She was trained to be a spiritual director in the Benet Hill Program for Spiritual Direction and was a founder and coordinator for the Benedictine Spiritual Formation Program in Denver. She is a past chair of Spiritual Direction Colorado.

Professional Development for Spiritual Directors

David Dunn — Tue, 19 May 2009 13:16:55 GMT

Leading Contemplative Gatherings — with Kent Ira Groff

A two-part workshop How can we create a safe environment for seasoned believers and youthful seekers to recount their sacred stories and find direction? If you feel called to lead spiritual retreats or short-term groups, this experience will provide skills for creating a contemplative ethos in limited time and for mining participant's gifts. As we model this meditative atmosphere, you will experience ways to build community, balance presentations with silence and conversation, and to incorporate prayer with music, movement, films, and art. Designing an event prepares leader's own heart and mind; out of this awareness of gifts and vulnerabilities the leader prepares the event.

The April 24–25, '09 session concluded a two-part workshop in a retreat format whose first session was held in the fall of 2008.

If you're interested in this kind of Professional Development Workshop, send email to Kent Groff.

Spiritual Direction and Prayer — with Jane Vennard

David Dunn — Tue, 19 May 2009 12:59:24 GMT

Continuing Education for Spiritual Directors

Topic Some people come to spiritual direction to learn how to pray while others recognize this desire as other life issues arise. This workshop will explore the art of teaching prayer as one of the roles of the spiritual director.

Presenter JANE E. VENNARD is ordained in the United Church of Christ to a special ministry of teaching and spiritual direction. She is senior adjunct faculty at the Iliff School of Theology in prayer and spirituality, leads retreats nationally, and is a spiritual director in private practice.

Contemplation as an Alternative Consciousness — with Fr. Richard Rohr (January 2009)

David Dunn — Tue, 19 May 2009 12:34:10 GMT

2009 Colorado Spirituality Conference undefined “The Third Eye”

About the Conference Fr. Richard Rohr is convinced that mature religion always discovered that it needed a different lens in order to access spiritual and divine things. The loss of that older tradition is at the heart of the crisis in most major religions today. Richard believes that people with some form of contemplative practice are in a unique position to model and teach this alternative consciousness. Out of this contemplative dimension emerges both personal spiritual deepening and a worldview that calls God's people to global responsibility. Fr. Rohr's workshop included lectures, guided silence, and guided practices, so participants could "know" for themselves.

About our leader Fr. Rohr is an ordained priest and a Franciscan of the New Mexico Province. He founded the New Jerusalem Community in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1971, and the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1986, where he presently serves as Founding Director.

Richard was born in Kansas in 1943. He entered the Franciscans in 1961, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1970. He received his Master's Degree in Theology from Dayton that same year. He now lives in a hermitage behind his Franciscan community in Albuquerque, and divides his time between local work, and preaching and teaching on all continents. He considers the proclamation of the Gospel to be his primary call, and uses many different platforms to communicate that message. Scripture as liberation, the integration of action and contemplation, community building, peace and justice issues, male spirituality, the enneagram, and eco-spirituality are some themes he addresses in service of the Gospel. An internationally known speaker, Richard's travels have recently carried the message to Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Fr. Richard is probably best known for his numerous recorded teachings, and through the Center's quarterly publication, Radical Grace. He is a regular contributing writer for Sojourners Magazine and writes a regular column for Tikkun Magazine. He published a 7-part Lenten Series for the National Catholic Reporter.

His latest books are Things Hidden: Scripture as Spirituality and From Wild Men to Wise Men: Reflections on Male Spirituality. Among his best known books are Everything Belongs, Radical Grace: Daily Meditations, Adam's Return: The Five Promises of Male Initiation, Hope Against Darkness and The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective. His current best-selling recorded teachings are The Divine Dance: Exploring the Mystery of Trinity and Prophets Then, Prophets Now.

Richard has partnered with such esteemed teachers as Thomas Keating, OCSO, Ron Rolheiser, OMI, Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault, Joan Chittister, OSB and Jim Wallis, teaching on such themes as adult Christianity, politics and spirituality, embracing the role of prophet in the modern world and presence to the Eternal now.

Recently, Richard was a featured essayist on NPR's "This I Believe," and was a guest of Dr. Mehmet Oz on his "Oprah and Friends" radio show. He also appeared in the 2006 documentary, "One," featuring spiritual teachers from around the world.
