God’s gifts are already present in the members of your church or spiritual group. But because these gifts are inside us they may be hidden from view. I can help your community unwrap its gifts in whatever format you think is best. I can offer a single talk at a luncheon or banquet. Or facilitate a day or half day of recollection. Maybe you audition me at something small. Then, maybe we go on to something larger, like a weekend residential or commuter retreat. I can be present at weekend worship services and offer day and evening sessions the following week, what in Catholic parlance is called a “Parish Mission.”
Here are some of the themes deep in my heart:
- Healing of memories
- Family tree healing
- Healing from trauma
- Near-death experiences and connectedness in the spirit with loved ones who’ve passed
- Living in eternity now; the survivability of our deaths
- The Wizard of Oz as a spiritual adventure (Based on my book: “And Toto, Too”)
- The Hero’s Journey of Joseph Campbell and the circle of life
- The 12 Steps of AA for everyone
- Imagining Our Higher Power
- Enjoying the communion of saints and souls
- Everyday mysticism
- Beginning contemplative prayer and guided meditation
- Having the heart of a child at any age
- Quantum theology
I’m a native Texan and Catholic who’s at home everywhere. I’ve worked with Christians of all kinds. I have respect for those who’ve become “church alumni.” I’ve worked with Jews, Muslims and Humanists. Should you engage me to serve your group, I’d listen to your needs and, with your help, design an experience that’s content-rich, interactive and fun. I won’t bore you, ever. I promise.
