  Creating a Life that Matters

is all about relationships:

intentional,  authentic relationships – 

with the Sacred,  our Selves & our Passions. 

Explore what it means to be transformed by an encounter with the Sacred, and rediscover loving God with heart, soul and mind. Re-engage Spirituality and the Sacred through practices new and old. 

Recent  attendees have said:

• "The creating a life that matters sessions has helped open my mind and heart to learn more about God."
• "This is what I've been waiting for all my life!"
• "I've grown more spiritually in the last 6 weeks than I have in the last 40 years!"
