A worship and discipleship pastor based in Green Bay, WI, Curtis became inquisitive about spiritual direction when questions about caring for the soul began to surface. Surprised by the gift of soul care, the profound value of silence, the usefulness of imagination, and the transformative effect of companioning with individuals and groups, he is delighted to notice God’s love for every soul and story. He completed both his spiritual direction and Ignatian Exercises training with Sustainable Faith.
Thursdays, September 7th through November 9th.
Marilyn finds life and passion in practicing and leading others in spiritual practices that connect them in a deep way to God’s love. She does this one on one and also through leading small groups.
She finds it a privilege to be a companion to others, she comes with an attitude of noticing and openness to the presence of God, observing how the Spirit of God gives wisdom, encouragement, and discernment.
A recent quote in which she appreciates the simplicity and complexity of Spiritual Direction. “Spiritual direction is, in reality, nothing more than a way of leading us to see and obey the real Director — the Holy Spirit hidden in the depths of our soul.” Thomas Merton, Trappist Monk
Marilyn received her training and certification for Spiritual Direction through Sustainable Faith. She has been practicing Spiritual Direction for many years with others as well as receiving direction with her own treasured director. She is a widow, mother of two adult children, grandmother of four and recently retired.
