Trellis | Knowing Yourself (A Two-Week Listening Journey)

Who am I? We seldom make time to unpack this short but critical question that affects everything we do. Our identity is found not simply by looking within ourselves but by understanding the voices in our lives—from both the past and the present—that have shaped who we are, and continue to do so! As relational beings, the voices that resonate most deeply in our lives are the ones forming our… Read More »Trellis | Knowing Yourself (A Two-Week Listening Journey)

Trellis | Listening for God (A Two-Week Listening Journey)

Our misconceptions of God can keep us from experiencing the incredible privileges of divine communion with Father, Son, and Spirit.

Perhaps the Bible starts off this way because God wants His people to know that He is no stranger to the darkness found in this world. He wants us to know that He speaks into that darkness to create light and… Read More »TRELLIS: The Calling of Hope

Listening Changes Everything

We asked participants from across the country: “How has your experience with Goldenwood expanded your vision for your work or changed your approach to your calling?”  What we heard was that listening changes everything.  “Through contemplative community that repeatedly and steadily centers its gaze on me and my journey, Goldenwood has profoundly helped me to discern and steward my deepest and truest self, fostered the courage I’ve needed to bring forth that… Read More »Listening Changes Everything
