Group Spiritual Reflection
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
Philippians 1:9-11
Group Spiritual Reflection is a form of companionship with awareness of the presence of God. People meet regularly to share their faith journey and support one another in their desire to recognize and experience God in all of life. They do this through silence, deep listening and prayerful sharing.
The focus of the group is not the group. It is the desire for God. The group process supports one's ongoing spiritual practice and intention to deepen one's relationship with God.
"The practice itself is at heart a prayer practice. Prayer is the willingness to open oneself up to a sense of deeper reality."
Anne Kline
In order to nurture an atmosphere of trust and reverence, several elements are essential:
- listening with the ears of the heart
- self-revelation
- mutuality
- confidentiality
- commitment
Participants are asked to commit to several weeks of a spiritual reflection group at a time, depending on the size and desire of the group.
