“I could not have predicted the rich, multi-faceted journey of discovery we first-year trainees experienced in the LWS program this past year. From one week to the next we examined unique points of viewing the human experience. We pondered different streams of spirituality in the Christian tradition, we reflected on different ways of praying, multiple images of God, how people read scripture differently. We named ourselves on the enneagram, the Myers-Briggs continuum, and in differing modes of communication. We drew, painted, collaged, danced, photographed and played our way into deeper self knowledge and appreciation of commonalities with and differences from one another. Our biggest treasure, and I think I speak for everyone, was the grace we experienced in trusting ourselves, trusting each other, and most especially trusting the Spirit to be present, to shed light, to hold us and our struggles with tenderness and love as we practiced Spiritual Direction with one another. Our leaders created an atmosphere of trust and intimacy from the get go, and we jumped in. This coming year we will be practicing our new art with generous people who are willing to work with newbies, and who will enrich us with their own stories, struggles and trust. And we will be reflecting in depth on our work and learnings with our Dr Pandiani and Sr Lucy Wynkoop. Come, Holy Spirit, come!! ” –Joan Henjum, LWS 2020-2021
