Frederick Buechner defines vocation as “the place where our deepest gladness meets the world’s deepest needs.” Paula Lawrence-Wehmiller’s one, two and three-day retreats offer participants a time of mindfulness, discernment, waiting, recalling, naming, reconciliation and celebration – a time of listening for the stories that want telling in that timeless instant.

Through song, poetry, narrative and periods of silence, she leads participants in an exploration of the community’s transformative and life-giving role in the spiritual practice of leading out the hidden wholeness which is at the heart of learning and teaching, justice and peace.
