Lonely Places
Let's go into the
Together
jesus meant it to be this way
As disciples of Christ, it's our privilege to emulate him, and he modeled this perfectly for us. Scripture says, "He went into the lonely place ..." And yet, he came back from that place of deep communion with the Heavenly Father to be with his disciples. At Kindred Abbey, we learn to do the same thing. Through the disciplines, we enter the sacred with Jesus and then we return to share our journey with one another.
Are you wondering how it is that you, a fellow sojourner, can go into the lonely places with another person?
here's how we do it

With busy, hectic lives our biggest challenge is carving out the time and finding the space to genuinely rest. With our one-day virtual retreat you’ll finally do both as you pursue God from the comfort of your own home — or anywhere else with an internet connection. With care and compassion, I’ll lead you in your own Abbey practices that will quiet your soul, nourish your spirit and set the stage for a fresh encounter with God.

Seven months after becoming a Christian, the twin bombs of abandonment and trauma detonated in my life. For the next twenty years, I was a casualty of the war waged against my soul, but I didn’t know it. Ignorant of how trauma hijacks our bodies, I was in flight, fight, or freeze mode in an endless loop of striving, performance, perfectionism, and despair until God stopped the madness by leading me to the ancient practices and modern neuroscience that healed me and restored my joy. This course will give you the same knowledge and usher you to the one who wants to restore your soul and nourish you in the good soil of his love.
Ancient practices and modern neuroscience set the stage for deep healing and transformation.
