Are you in a time of transition? A time of question? Join us for a Day of Discernment

Saturday, April 5, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. (Eastern) via Zoom

WVIS is in a time of transition. Maybe you are too. Our training teaches us that every transition offers both challenge and opportunity; discernment is needed to help us sort out God’s call.

In response, WVIS’ Associate Ministry Directors are opening up their annual day of discernment to anyone who is looking for clarity in hearing God’s call in their lives. We have prepared a program that fosters an experience of spiritual freedom to help you explore, in community, how God may be inviting you to live your call or to see perhaps a new call in your life.

The program includes prayer, individual meditation, plus small and large group discussions.  You may bring a specific discernment question or allow that question to emerge during the day.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: March 29, 2025

DONATION: There is no requested donation for this Day of Discernment. Please invite those you know who are in a time of transition or questioning.

QUESTIONS: If you have questions, please contact Cindy Neely at neelycynthia@gmail.com.

The Five Gates of Grief
Entering the Sacred World of Sorrow

(Program offered via Zoom)
Saturday, March 15, 2025 (8:15 a.m. – 3:15 p.m.)

Over the Course of our lives, grief enters our hearts in many ways. Most of us are familiar with the grief involved in the loss of someone or something we love. Too often, the other “gates” of grief are left unattended. We experience the loss but often struggle to express our feelings, even to ourselves, related to these losses and the sorrow we feel.

During this program, we will explore the complexity of grief and the impact of our modern culture on our ability to process our grief in a way that allows us to grow rather than sink into sadness. Each participant will have time for reflection and an opportunity to meet with a WVIS spiritual director to process the material of the day.
