Exploring Presence: Tending the Presence We Offer – And the Presence We Are

Presence is a sacred art, one that shapes not only how we accompany others, but how we awaken to ourselves. As spiritual directors and companions, we offer our presence to our directees and strive to provide a safe space for their true essence to emerge and flourish. In that striving, we also need to ponder whether we offer the same gift to ourselves.  Join us as we explore the different facets of presence and how the quality of our presence impacts us, our directees, and those around us.

This retreat will be led by spiritual companion, author, and educator, Lucy Abbott Tucker. It will include morning and afternoon sessions and will provide a rich environment of learning, sharing, and reflection. Commuter and overnight options are available.
