The spiritual practice of grand examen provides an opportunity to look back on the past year in God's presence and seek His wisdom for the year ahead. The Grand Examen retreat featured guided sessions along with reflection time in the quiet beauty of Sabbath House.
Advent Experience
December 6 & 7, 2024
Sabbath House, in Partnership with Coracle Baltimore, hosted a meaningful, contemplative, self-paced Advent Experience. Guests came and explored the beautiful story of our Savior's birth in the quiet serenity of Sabbath House. Contemplative prompts, art, and other creative elements stirred the senses and nourished the spirit in the presence of our Emmanuel, God with us.​​
Harvesting Gratitude Retreat
November 1 & 2, 2024
​
What better time to gather gratitude than the harvest season, that little slice of time before the holidays press in on our schedules - and sometimes our serenity? We gathered for an overnight retreat during which we explored ways to give thanks for God's good gifts in the context of what was, what is and what will be. Our teaching team, Kelly Willie, Mari-Jan Sieradzki, and Kim Bonvissuto followed a rhythm of worship, teaching, reflection, and sharing in community.

Spiritual Direction Training
Are You Considering Becoming a Spiritual Director?
Sustainable Faith’s School of Spiritual Direction forms students to compassionately and discerningly listen to God, others, and themselves. Through contemplative practices, foundational readings, and conversations focused on spiritual formation, students nurture their own life with God and grow in the practice of spiritual direction. By receiving and giving spiritual direction individually and in groups, students are shaped for their own deepening life with God and to accompany others on similar paths.
