What: Three trained facilitators who are women in the parish and have previously taken the program, lead a group of 10-12 women in prayer and discussion.

Each meeting begins and ends with a prayer ritual designed to enhance the Christian perspective on each of these topics:

• Self-Esteem and Self-Acceptance : What Influences me at this time in my life?
• Stress, Worry and Anxiety: Learning to deal with stress productively.
• Everyday Spirituality: Relationship with Self; Relationship with God.
• Feelings: Constructive Self-Expression
• Personal Growth:  Who Am I? Where Do I Give and Receive Support?
  Expressing Values in Friendships: Defining Christian Values, Examining relationships.
• Discernment: Spiritual Gifts:  How Am I "Called" to Continue my Personal Growth?
• Celebration of New Beginnings:  An Evening of Celebration!
• Continuing the Journey: Spiritual Enrichment

All participants are obligated to commit to attending each 2-hour session for a 9-week period.  All participants must keep discussions confidential.

Through this peer ministry women of all ages are encouraged to grow by sharing as well as supporting other women in their personal spiritual growth.

Each 2-hour meeting involves learning and discussing the selected topic; recording thoughts and reflections; and sharing personal experiences with others.

The session includes a celebration dinner, and ends with discernment of how you are "called" to proceed on the journey.
