If you hunger for meaningful relationships and conversations with other women about the gifts and struggles of life and faith in our contemporary context, this group may be for you.  Through the sharing of stories and collective wisdom, the reading and discussion of books and writings of spiritual significance, and engaging prayer and spiritual practice, women are invited into authentic and life-giving relationships with God, self and others, and into more gentle, joyful, and purposeful ways of being human.

Women's Spirituality Thursday Group - Fall 2026 - Spring 2027

In the Company of Women: Stories and Wisdom from Women Who Have Gone Before and Who Go with Us

Meeting LIVE Every Other Thursday, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

August 27 – December 17, 2026, January 7 - May 27, 2027

I love the men in my life, and have learned so much from male friends, teachers and guides.  And yet, there is something different and lovely that happens in a circle of women.  Also, their voice, stories and writing tend to sound some different, resonant notes, from their own experience living as women in mostly male-dominated spheres.  This past year, I have loved immersing myself more into the stories of Francis and Clare of Assisi, and have long wanted to do a deeper group dive into some of the other female mystics, drawing wisdom for these contemporary times, so I'm delighted to find and commend a new book for our exploration that does just that.

I look forward to being guided by the women who have gone before us, who still guide our way, and the women journeying with us, all streams of wisdom to meet our contemporary thirst. Through the sharing of our own stories and life experiences, practices of prayer and reflection, and the reading of The Mystics Would Like a Word by Shannon Evans, we will fill out cups to overflowing into compassionate engagement with the world.
