We are finding the need for soul care to be so pressing and the only thing stopping individuals from pursuing this venue are funds. We have decided to go to the leadership of charities, nonprofits, church communities, and the education system and begin to bring them either under spiritual direction so that they can take care of the wholeness needs of those they serve, or for them to obtain a certificate in spiritual formation so that they can lead others in their community.
This way the community will have leaders that understand what wholeness is as well as having experienced inner transformation themselves, they can give hope to those who are looking to fill a ‘tank’ that is fairly empty. The donation dollars we receive allow us to recreate one-day retreats where we can lead those attending to a place where they can accept that they need help. The rest of the funds we receive will go to subsidize those attending so that finances are not the reason they cannot participate.
If we receive $10,000, we can put two retreats together for Calgary and should be able to assist 80-100 individuals financially.
