Excerpts from Alone Together - currently being written: Rejection from the community can make you question your life and its direction. It gets you down and makes you think, who am I and why am I being rejected? It helps you to question yourself and practice self awareness. Is it true or this the person or the groups perception? Much processing begins and perhaps at a certain stage turning to God for how He sees us and ability to get affirmation regarding the opinion of others. ”I wonder how God sees me?” is his opinion more valid then theirs or is theirs more valid then Gods? When you begin to see yourself how God sees you the shame is shed because there is no shame in the way God sees us. As we begin to see how God sees us, we begin to establish our true identity and start to grow our roots of identity/ ground of our being deeper into the ground until UNIQUENESS is born.

EXCERPTS FROM MY BOOK COMING OUT IN 2027 MOVING FROM BELONGING TO UNIQUENESS As early as 4 years old my grand daughter had her own playlist, this told me that: 1. She had access to music 2. She was influenced by her peers 3. Her parents music also influenced her taste 4. She learned to put her preferred music into her playlist 5. She knew which music she liked and didn’t This little exercise begins to tell us a that the person who is able to assemble a playlist at such a young age is: 1. Already interested in music and invests time in listening, selecting and recording 2. This person got a chance to express where they want to invest their time and pursue their interest, and develop her personal taste. How do we become : www.spiritualformation.center
Exerpts from BELONGING VS UNIQUENESS 3. Belonging at work The work place is the place where belonging begins to become complicated because it is where people dreams and hopes are expected to be fulfilled and achieved, In this stage of life, people tend to pull in different directions and diversity is more pronounced. The diversity we are concerned about is gender (lgbtq included), which in many ways increases the already diverse concerns we have to deal with, social background, race, variety of values and beliefs, cultures, and age, but to mention a few. The main chunk of the workforce generally is from early to mid 30s- 50s. This is the period where people are dealing a variety of concerns in their personal lives. Obviously whether we like it or not, these concerns come with them to work. It complicates the dynamics where the firm might be wanting to establish an atmosphere of belonging. Our individual unique selves will always play a role, and pull in a direction, leaving tension in our ability to become a cohesive team. Shared meaning and working together towards one cause plays a large role in belonging to a common goal. Is this true for you?

Belonging and Uniqueness
As we know belonging is one of our basic needs, and I have come to realise that the need to belong, can be so powerful.
Musings On Sacred Spaces
Sacred spaces are not dependent on one particular religion. In fact, often sacred spaces are universal.
Dispositioning: Entering the Holy of Holies
A day or two before the start of our retreat, we are encouraged to prepare and disposition ourselves. Entering into a retreat in silence is

A series on stages of life
Our Retreats are based on the Ignatian method of recollection. It incorporates silence, with a rhythm of prayer, art expressions as form of expressing what is happening in us in prayer. It also include accompaniment with a spiritual director who helps deepen what is already
happening in the prayer time of the retreatant.
What do you call spiritual practices that do not fit in with courses and retreats, to
me it was obvious- retreats plus of course. During pandemic we were required to meet the needs of our participants.
