Retreats
We offer monthly retreat days in the Merced area. Spend a day with God, with times of both solitude and community. We offer guidance at the beginning of these retreat days and an opportunity to process and share at the end. Each retreat day is crafted by us, and we are present to support you.
We are also available to create day-retreats and longer retreats for your church or ministry. Please contact us to learn more.
Spiritual Practices
We are experienced teachers on prayer, spiritual disciplines, and related topics.
We offer seminars and classes in the Merced area and online, and we are also available to speak at your church or ministry.
Spiritual Direction
Ryan has been a spiritual director since 2004. He is trained and experienced in individual, group, and retreat direction. He meets with directees in the Merced area and online.
Ryan is a long time member of ESDA: Christ-Centered Spiritual Directors (and a former advisor to their parent ministry, Grafted Life). ESDA describes this ministry: “A Christian spiritual director is a trained listener who will accompany you as you share about your spiritual journey, helping you to notice God’s presence and activity along the way, as well as your personal reactions and responses. Hospitable, confidential, and grounded in biblical truth, spiritual direction is a ministry that helps you grow in prayer and live into your calling as a follower of Christ.”
