A day to uncover your gifts, your passions, and the purpose they point to through spirituality
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11).
It’s a given that the material and the spiritual are one — so finding your true purpose involves both. Don’t climb your ladder only to find it leaning against the wrong wall.
Finding my Pathway is a day to leave ‘either/or’ behind for ‘both/and’ and find a renewed sense of purpose that holds your spiritual and practical life together.
If you’ve been asking:
- Where am I, and where do I belong?
- What are my gifts and passions, and how are they calling me?
- How do I make sense of my story so far?
- What foundation should my next chapter be built on?
- How do I move forward with real clarity and joy?
This day is for you.
Guided by Br (Dr) Barry Donaghue, the day moves through arrival, awakening, reframing, discovery, discernment and response — helping you:
- Find a secure starting point for the rest of your life
- Identify your gifts and passions, and how they’re calling to you
- Make one or two key life decisions that combine both the spiritual and the practical
What you’ll come away with:
- A secure starting point for the road ahead
- Clarity on your gifts and passions, and how they’re calling you
- One or two key life decisions that bring together the spiritual and the practical
- A renewed sense of purpose, found through story, prayer and reflection
