Wayfarers
Wayfarers is a spiritual discovery group for 4-5 people who commit to meeting monthly from September to May.
Wayfarers groups meet for two and a half hours. The sessions begin with a half hour meditation, using either lectio divina (a way of listening for the Living Word in Scripture) or a prayer of awareness (a way of listening for the Living Word in our daily lives), followed by focus sessions for two participants. The focus sessions follow a structured format of sharing and response, introduced during the first gathering.
In a session, we explore what an individual has brought to share, using a rhythm of attentive silence and response, allowing us to expand our awareness of and response to God. Together we develop skills of holy listening – to God, ourselves, each other, and the world.

To give a taste of what people bring to share, you might find yourself working with:
- An encounter or experience from prayer, from a relationship, from an interaction with creation or with systems and structures.
- A major decision or life transition
- A new awareness that is emerging and begs to be explored
- Joys or laments or the very ordinary stuff of everyday life
