Cultivating a new vision
for work
Our Programs
wherein people can increasingly discern God’s voice reverberating
throughout the entirety of their lives, leading them towards deepening maturity and spiritual vitality.
Our programs arise from our vision to see our society, particularly our work, revived by love. We begin by focusing upon spiritual formation, creating foundational life-rhythms and providing guided experiences towards a dynamic, integrated, and lived spirituality.
Goldenwood’s flagship program, this distinctive 7-month experience weaves together elements of coaching, spiritual direction, and communal discernment processes for developing a multi-layered holistic vision for your life. Building upon life-rhythms that are foundational for Christian maturity and growth, Nautilus offers a cohesive, comprehensive and coordinated journey towards spiritual vitality for all of life.
*Applications now open through Jun 15 for the 2024-25 Cohort*
As we emerge from a season of incredible disruption, we need more than ever to be reminded of the things that matter most. Our days can easily blur with few external structures providing much-needed rhythms in our lives. These paths facilitate daily and weekly rituals to augment our ability to hear God’s voice in the midst of our everyday work lives. The virtual format allows participation from all over the world.
These getaways create the much-needed opportunity to process important life issues that often go unaddressed in our hurried lives. The weekends provide a safe environment that allows you to ask God questions as you listen through times alone and with others in prayer and structured dialogue. Hearing God’s voice provides the liberating clarity to move forward confidently in faith and trust.

Why a Decelerator?
