Spiritual Wayfinding

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Writing this testament on the spiritual practice of walking was a hard and holy exercise and one so desperately needed in a world of chaos, static noise, and disruption everywhere. Deborah Gregory's walks, inspired by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, can also significantly benefit parents of children with disabilities by encouraging walking in moments of joy, sadness, anger, disgust, and supreme fear; these exercises not only strengthen their relationship with God through prayer, meditation, and reflection but can move them toward more profound senses of purpose for themselves and their families. I appreciate how Gregory's Spiritual Wayfinding bridges our connection to God and to each other through touch, our senses, our voices, creativity, emotions, and the world around us.”
