Feedback from Past Participants
2025-06-03 - Near Death Experiences: Hope, Hypoxia and Hypothesis, with Rev. David Maginley - This was an extremely well presented and thought-provoking workshop. I’ll be pondering the wisdom Rev. David Maginley shared for a long time and seeking ways to incorporate it into my life. Linda Hoye, Moose Jaw SK Canada
2025-09-10 - Befriending Shame: How to be Present to the Feeling We Most Want to Avoid, with Janelle Schneider - This was the safest, most honest and helpful conversation about shame I have ever experienced. Janelle's profound understanding and practical insights have given me a new lens through which to keep sight of my own belovedness. Elizabeth Morrison, Philadelphia PA USA
2025-09-27 - Paul the Dynamic Disciple: From Tribal Zealot to Global Missionary, with Sr. Teresita Kambeitz OSU - This was an excellent workshop, which I enjoyed immensely. Sr. Teresita Kambeitz was extremely knowledgeable and presents her materials in an easy to understand manner. I learned much about St. Paul prior to his conversion, that I had not known before. I would certainly recommend taking any future courses from her. Ian Fraser, Edmonton AB Canada
2025-09-27 - Paul the Dynamic Disciple: From Tribal Zealot to Global Missionary, with Sr. Teresita Kambeitz OSU - I appreciate how Sr. Teresita is a model of continuous learning and self reflection. In this workshop, I enjoyed the new perspective that Saul very likely had interactions with Jesus on a number of occasions in his role as a Pharisee, perhaps including being a part of condemning him to death. Sr. Teresita really made Saul come alive for me. I always appreciate conversations that encourage us to examine the lens with which we view the world and each other. I hope that with learning, prayer, self reflection and God's grace I am able to have what Parker Palmer calls "soft eyes." Michelle Vanhouwe, Saskatoon SK Canada
2025-10-21 - Three Seeds of Ecological Spirituality, with Shawn Sanford Beck - in participating in Shawn's workshop, I was elated to discover within the Christian tradition, that my "worship," pleasure, mystical experiences with animals, plants, dirt, even my own body as a part of creation was not some renegade notion, but fully within my walk with Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Leah King, Houston TX USA
2025-11-18 - Kything: Communion with the More-Than-Human World, with Shawn Sanford Beck - I think Shawn could offer us anything, and it would be a welcome breath of fresh air, fragranced with a hint of mystery and imagining. About “entering into the spirit of tentativeness and see where imagination takes you” - I felt there is a fragility and vulnerability in this and it could be so easily missed. Daphne Kotzer Schacher, Saskatoon SK Canada
